Abstract

This study draws on the results of IDC's European Vertical Market survey, carried out in January/April 2009 in the top 5 Western European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U.K.) among 1,898 companies with more than 20 employees.

Despite IT budget cuts, the IDC survey clearly shows that security spending is more inflexible in the face of weak economic conditions. Indeed the percentage of companies investing in security is set to remain high in the short term across all vertical markets. Of course, this doesn't mean that security spending will show the growth rates it has seen in the past few years, but that it will remain more solid compared with other technology areas.

"The 2009 IDC vertical market survey investigated security solutions across vertical markets and found that IT-intensive sectors such as finance and telecom will mainly invest in security solution upgrades while new solutions will be mostly targeted by less IT mature industries such as transport or healthcare," said Giuliana Folco, research VP, European Industry Solutions, IDC.
