Most businesses to spend more on security in 2013

Some 40% of organisations in the UK and Europe expect their IT security budgets to increase in 2013 in response to increased security threats, research from Computer Weekly and TechTarget reveals. Some 34% expect security budgets to remain the same and only 5% expect any decrease in budget. However, in a reflection of financial uncertainty in the economy, 21% said they did not know how their security spending would look next year.
