Spotlight Story

7 burning security questions
By Ellen Messmer
There's no shortage of burning questions about IT security these days, some sparked by nasty threats, others by economic concerns and some by growing use of social networking and cloud computing. We spoke to about two dozen experts - IT customers, analysts and vendors - to nail down some answers:
Can you no longer avoid closely monitoring employees?
Should you choose a strategic security vendor or shoot for best-in-breed?
Can security processes finally be automated?
How scared should you be about security statistics?
Are security issues delaying adoption of cloud computing?
Is mobile computing the Achilles' heel in your organization?
How can you handle risks that come with social networking?
