IT Security Staffing Ratios 2015
While security is a high priority for most IT organizations, the staffing of this function has remained remarkably steady over time. Strengthening security does not necessarily require expanding the number of professionals dedicated to maintaining data and network security. In this study, we help IT executives assess their security staffing needs by providing four benchmarks: IT security staff as a percentage of the IT staff, IT security staff as a percentage of the Network and Communications Group, users per IT security staff member, and network devices per IT security staff member. We also assess the influence of organization size and sector on staffing requirements. (17 pp., 8 fig.) [Research Byte]

IaaS Adoption Trends and Customer Experience 2015
Public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is growing in popularity. It is being used for disaster recovery, system development, testing, and even production systems. This report quantifies the current adoption and investment trends, as well as the benefits driving adoption and the buyer concerns holding it back. We assess adoption and investment trends by organization size, sector, and geography. To assess the economics, we look at the return on investment and total cost of ownership experience of those that have adopted IaaS along with current investment per user. We conclude with practical advice for IT leaders seeking to gain support for IaaS investment. (24 pp., 12 fig.) [Research Byte]
