If you’ve been online or turned on a TV in the past few months, you’ve probably noticed that there is a persistent and apparently endless stream of malware attacks and data breaches. It should come as absolutely no surprise then that spending on information security is increasing as well. Worldwide spending on information security products and services will reach $86.4 billion in 2017, an increase of 7 percent over 2016, with spending expected to grow to $93 billion in 2018, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc., released this week.
