ISR News: “Paring Down” Security
Excerpt from Computer Word’s Jaikumar Vijayan
Security managers should be “thinking about how to eliminate redundancies and pare down the infrastructure” wherever it’s possible to do so, Hochmuth said.
As companies tighten their belts because of the recession, he added, it’s inevitable that IT security budgets will be geared more toward fighting fires than toward costly technology deployments.
“The intensive projects that require a lot of capital outlay and work on the integration side are probably going to be throttled back,” Hochmuth said. He also expects companies to look more closely at integrating their security, networking and operations teams and reducing their staffing levels.
