Is moving to virtualization and cloud computing making network security easier or harder? When some 2,100 top IT and security managers in 27 countries were asked, the response revealed a profound lack of consensus, showing how divided attitudes are within the enterprise.
The “2010 State of Enterprise Security Survey – Global Data” report shows that about one-third believe virtualization and cloud computing make security “harder,” while one-third said it was “more or less the same,” and the remainder said it was “easier.” The telephone survey was done by Applied Research last month on behalf of Symantec, and it covered 120 questions about technology use — organizations remain overwhelmingly Microsoft Windows-based — and cyberattacks on organizations.

When it comes to cyberattacks and data loss, the situation looks bleak based on the responses in the report.
