DSCI-KPMG Survey 2009 - State of Data Security and Privacy in the Indian Industry

We are happy to present the second DSCI – KPMG Security Survey. It is much more diverse in its base of surveyed organizations – IT/BPO, Banks, Telecom, Public Sector, E-commerce – and the number of respondents. Over 150 organizations were surveyed. Other important elements that have been included for the first time are data privacy trends and Information Technology Act awareness along with CERT-In interface. Security technology adoption trends to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities have been analyzed in reasonable depth. It is gratifying to find that the organizations are focused on technology adoption and implementation of latest tools such as DLP. They are also well prepared to meet the challenges posed by mobile and wireless devices at endpoints. Security preparedness of organizations continues to enhance. Once again it is the IT/BPO companies, banks and telecom service providers which are at the frontier of using cutting edge technology and standards to enhance their security. While compliance regulations continue to be a driver for security, the latter is seen as a differentiator too.
