Figure: Break Up of various Security Technologies used by Enterprises

Issues in Enterprise Security Consulting

Lack of Awareness

Indian enterprise generally lacks awareness and conviction, which results in failure of security initiatives. Awareness is more important than the technolgy being used. The shift from IT security being a vendor-driven initiative to a user-driven initiative will happen only when the entire organization is aware of IT security. A major challenge in implementing proper security is lack of conviction. This results in efforts limited to superficial security measures. With such a perspective, security tends to be more of a superficial nature than really achieve its objectives. This is one of the important reasons why the Indian information security market is still more vendor-driven in nature than a user-driven market.
