Abstract

This IDC study provides a detailed description of IDC's Worldwide Security Spending Guide methodology and taxonomy. It should be used as a companion piece for IDC's Worldwide Security Spending Guide data deliverables. Technology suppliers may utilize this approach and structure as well to help them build an industry-focused organization.

"IDC's Worldwide Security Spending Guide provides a comprehensive, global, and detailed map of the security marketplace," says Serena Da Rold, program manager, IDC's Customer Insights and Analysis group.
