Security dominates SOX product spend

NetworkWorlds' latest Executive Guide to compliance had the following interesting information. US companies will spend $15.5Bn on compliance activities this year according to latest findings from AMR research. Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) will take $6.6Bn of this.

IT Security technology grabs the lions share of technology spend on SOX, at 26%.
