EMEA security spend will have another boom year in 2024 | Computer Weekly
Summary
EMEA respondents also tended to cite improving cyber security resilience as the main justification for all IT spend when making their case to those holding the purse strings, 41%, according to the data. Elsewhere in the cyber domain, EMEA respondents said they planned to spend on SIEM, threat intel, endpoint protection and extended detection and response (XDR) to soup up their security operations (SecOps) practice. • The TechTarget and ESG Spending Intentions survey finds big bias towards averting risk and building organisational resilience, but on-premise storage a significant planned outlay. The high investment intent in DLP, email security, and privacy and governance would seem to indicate that protecting sensitive information is a massive priority as organisations continue to face increasing data breaches and more stringent compliance requirements. Lower down the charts in this area, but still the subject of spending by some, are services incorporating generative artificial intelligence and quantum protection, suggesting some buyers have a keen eye on getting a head start on future challenges.
