SECURITY SOFTWARE SALES SET TO SKYROCKET Sales of security software are taking off, fueled by an epidemic of hacker attacks and vicious viruses, according to a study by Gartner Group's Dataquest division. Spending will soar from $2.5 billion in 1999 to more than $6.7 billion in 2004, as management software vendors, such as Computer Associates, IBM/Tivoli and Hewlett-Packard, increasingly focus on security in their core software offerings. According to the report, the top security software seller is antivirus protection, with 31% of the current market. According to the FBI, 9 out of 10 companies have reported computer security breaches -- including hacking, viruses, fraud and sabotage -- since March 1999. That study was based on a survey of 600 companies and government agencies. (E-Commerce Times 4 Oct 2000) ecommercetimes.com
