The survey explores the concept of the 'security paradox': a situation where business executives are becoming more aware of IT security issues while support for a solution to these issues still lies with the IT department.

2006 Life Sciences Global Security Survey

2006 Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Global Security Survey
Digital information and digital technology have become the lifeblood of the TMT sector. But the move to digital also presents significant new challenges, including security threats such as computer viruses and intellectual property theft that can disrupt or even disable a business.

2005 Financial Services Global Security Survey 
Internal information security attacks are outgrowing external attacks at the world’s largest financial institutions according to the findings of the 2005 survey. The increased sophistication of attacks that target customers indicate there is a new threat that must be addressed.
