IDC Security Forum

Continuous risk assessment for secure applications and software supply chains

According to IDC’s Worldwide Security Spending Guide, total European spending will grow by 10.6% in 2023. Spending in the region will continue to see almost double-digit growth over the forecast period, with total spending reaching $71 billion in 2026.

Overview

IT security continues to be the top risk and compliance investment area for European organizations.

Protection of IT assets, whether data, applications, network or device, is a fundamental requirement, usually made compulsory by an enterprise’s technology or legal department. Failure to protect these assets can result in disastrous, highly publicized breaches that can cause customers, partners, and stakeholders to lose trust in an organization — and for an organization to lose competitive advantage and profits. European companies are rethinking their cyber resilience and proactively ensuring their organization maintains good cyber hygiene.
