A survey of 1,070 organizations found that, on average, they spent 20 percent of their total technology budget in 2006 on security-related expenses. That’s up from 15 percent in 2005, and 12 percent in 2004. Organizations also expect to increase spending across all areas related to security in the next 12 months. Nearly one-half of respondents to the CompTIA survey said they intend to increase spending on security-related technologies; and one-third of respondents expect to increase spending on security training. Among those expecting to increase spending, the average increase is in the range of 19-23 percent, regardless of area.
