IDC classes identity and access management, security and vulnerability management, content control under the SCC banner. The company says that this type of security compliance services will be worth $7.4bn worldwide this year.
“Executives are pushing for compliance to protect themselves from security threats, but also to avoid personal liability and the possibility of criminal and/or civil penalties,” says Rose Ryan, a security compliance and vulnerability management research analyst at IDC.
