Is your information secure? That is the million—I mean billion—dollar question.

Worldwide end-user spending on information security is anticipated to skyrocket.

Let’s review the numbers:

2024: $193 billion

2025: $213 billion

2026: $240 billion

This is significant growth.

Security software is the fastest growing segment because more companies continue to move from on-premises to cloud-based systems, which brings new security risks. We will also see rising threats due to generative AI (artificial intelligence).

Where are you in this mix? Are you upping your information security game?
