A top research firm predicts that IT security spending will remain steady through 2011 with identity management as the top focus, but also suggests that CIOs still don’t rank security projects among their high-priority initiatives.
Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. will announce Thursday that during the next 12 months, it expects that enterprises will spend approximately 5% of their total IT budgets on information security technology. While that percentage is down slightly from 6% last year, Gartner forecasts that overall IT budgets will increase by nearly 2%, meaning security spending will largely hold its ground.
My concern is this treading water… spending the same amount as last year, and hoping they attack someone else.
Mark Kadrich
President and CEO, The Security Consortium
Gartner this week is previewing its latest security spending data — compiled via a host of recent research efforts — in advance of its Security and Risk Management Summit, which takes place near Washington D.C. June 21-23.

Word association time: When I say "IT energy," what do you think of? After everything that’s been written in the past couple of years about green IT and the amount of electricity that’s needed to power data centers, you probably think first about the cost of our profligate energy consumption.

Organizations are increasingly dependent on their computer networks and a problem affecting them, no matter how small, can compromise the continuity of operations, a situation which inevitably results in economic loss.
An increasing number and complexity of new computer attacks, becoming more specialized skills whose goals are an economic nature for the benefit of the attackers also in the midst of this variety, have been increasing disrespectful actions of privacy.

The first practical guide to building IT-business alignment.
Year after year, IT survey results inevitably state that one of the top priorities for the coming year will be to align IT with the business. It is as if alignment is some unattainable and mysterious process and IT leaders prefer to avoid it in fear of failure – or perhaps in fear of receiving more work as a result. The topic certainly gets a lot of attention and is often the source of many articles – such as this one, as well as presentations at IT conferences. After requisite googling task, I found 3,300,000 results on the topic!
To make this article standout and ascend above the rest of the chatter, I will describe what alignment is and precisely how to build it for your organization. That’s right, the first practical guide to achieving in your business!

Due to organisational position of the IT department, some IT staff can experience higher stress levels
Recently I watched a TV show “Stress – Portrait of a killer” on Australia’s ABC. It explained, based upon research by Robert Sapolsky and others, that people lower in the corporate hierarchy, in general, have a higher level of stress.
Bashir Mamdani reports in “The social hierarchy of health”
Two different models have replaced the old idea that managers at the top of the hierarchy are under more stress than people below them. The demand control model posits that stress at work is not caused by how much demand there is, but how much control there is in relation to demand. The second model suggests that imbalance between efforts and rewards are the determinant of chronic stress.
This made me think. Since IT in most organizations is a service department and does not have a purpose by itself, would that make IT staff feel to be lower in the ‘hierarchy’. And if so, would that induce more stress with IT staff?

That noise you hear is the scrape of chairs being pushed back, laptops snapping shut and your ICT staff walking out the door. The war for talent is on again — if it ever stopped — and as with all wars, there will be victors, survivors and casualties.
Identifying, retaining and developing talent never gets easier. There are only degrees of difficulty. What should you do to attract and groom good people? How can you make your IT organisation one that offers interesting roles and compelling career prospects? How can you avoid becoming collateral damage in the war?
How much it really costs to replace staff
The market is on the move
Now, even worse news.
Peoplebank is Australia’s largest IT&T recruitment company. It claims a talent pool of more than 300,000 candidates and 3000 contractors on-site, and places 6000 candidates every year.
Peoplebank’s National IT Market Update: April 2010 reveals significant salary increases — the first sign of increased competition among employers for IT skills — are beginning to emerge. It supports anecdotal evidence of shrinking talent pools around the country.
