Abstract

Security is often viewed as an arms race between attackers, who try to exploit vulnerabilities and security administrators, who try to protect system against these attacks. In this regard, analysis of emerging security trends can be helpful in planning proper countermeasures to ensure security. Several studies and surveys exist that provide statistical information on security trends and issues. By comparative and aggregate analysis of these surveys, good understanding of the current information security trends and issues can be gained. So, in order to get a holistic picture of current state of information security landscape, this paper made an analysis of the seven well known information security surveys conducted in year 2011. Results are generated by aggregating and analyzing recent survey reports to present a complete and comprehensive picture of current information security landscape. Furthermore, this paper also highlights key findings derived from this analysis.
