Digital information and digital technology have become the lifeblood of the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industry.  Companies should benefit from the tremendous opportunities and value that this move to digital is creating, but should also be prepared for significant new challenges and risks.

In the aftermath of the dot-com bubble, TMT companies have generally had heir hands full dealing with major challenges such as uncertain economic conditions, rapid technology advances and digital convergence, and may have overlooked security threats such as computer viruses and intellectual property theft.

This DTT survey of 150 TMT organizations shows that although TMT businesses are making significant strides to improve their security, they still have much to do. Over half of the companies surveyed suffered a security breach in the preceding 12 months. Some companies surveyed reported breaches causing millions of dollars’ worth of damage. And both the frequency and sophistication of the attacks are growing. Many are now realizing that security is simply an integral part of conducting their business and thus too important to ignore.

This report examines the industry’s security issues in greater detail, and provides a number of specific insights to help companies protect their information and digital services.
