Key Drivers for Security Policy Updates

Overview This AT&T white paper presents the results of a survey that The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) recently completed on behalf of AT&T.

EIU polled 236 executives from a range of industries to determine the circumstances that were most likely to prompt a new look at their security policies. Not surprisingly, the results showed that changes in technology are the most important driver, followed by changes in government regulations and, finally, changes in a company's business model.
