According to a study by Ponemon and sponsored by Arcsight, the cost of battling cybercrime went up by 56% in 2011 for the organizations they interviewed. For the 50 organizations they looked at, the cost averaged 8.4 million dollars.
This new study is a good reminder why security, especially web security should be at the top of your list for IT dollars, if it isn't already. The web remains the primary vehicle for cybercrime, and protecting your end-users regardless of whether they are behind the company firewall or remote and on a hotel wifi should be one of the largest IT concerns today.
When selecting your web security solution make sure they can answer the tough questions about how they protect you from malware and how they protect your remote users as well as your local ones.
