| Event Agenda: | Only one week to go until Infosecurity Europe A recent Infosecurity Europe survey found that despite predictions of reductions in IT spending compared to last year, 55% of those questioned expect spending on Information Security to increase, and a further 34% think their spending will remain the same. This growth in spend is largely driven by the recent increase in security threats as a direct result of the economic downturn. As Eric Domage of IDC EMEA Software Group and Keynote Speaker at Infosecurity Europe summaries: "We expect to see an increase in "frustration Hacking" when people opportunistically attack their own company because they have been fired or frustrated" With security breaches escalating, as an ISSA member your visit to Infosecurity Europe 2009 will ensure that you spend your security budget wisely.
