Intrusion prevention will be the hottest security technology in 2004

A survey by TheInfoPro has found that out of 39 different security technologies, wireless security has gained the most traction with security professionals during 2003, and intrusion prevention projects are the most widely planned for 2004. The study was based on 175 in-depth interviews with decision makers from major corporations.

Highlights include:
* 51 percent of the users interviewed have an intrusion prevention project planned for implementation before 2005. Intrusion prevention project plans were measured separately from intrusion detection projects, which only 18 percent of interviewees are planning.

* 39 percent of interviewees are planning new wireless security projects for 2004.

* Anti-spam projects are a top short-term priority, with 19 percent of interviewees saying they have projects scheduled within the next six months.

* Application firewalls are another hot project. Not only did the number of planned application firewall projects increase substantially during 2003, but also nearly 1/3 (32 percent) of interviewees have application firewall projects planned for next year.
