Just about every company is vulnerable to a myriad of cyber criminal activity, such as identity theft, corporate espionage and spam, leaving today's IT workforce feeling a bit like unarmed prison guards—constantly on the lookout and a little too uneasy.

Simultaneously, new regulations around privacy, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, are creating some of the greatest challenges and demands on IT security personnel and users in the market today.

New threats and increasing regulations aren't expected to go away anytime soon, and sellers of security wares are thriving. Gartner predicts revenue for the security software sector will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 16.2 percent through 2009, with new license revenue reaching $11.4 billion. The reasons cited for growth are new types of security threats, a strengthening economy and stimulus from government regulations.
