FishNet Security (http://www.fishnetsecurity.com/) , the nation's
leading provider of information security solutions that combine
technology, services, support and training, today announced the
results of its 2010 IT security trends and spending survey. The survey
polled IT employees from over 450 Fortune 1000 enterprises via an
independent online service. Results of the survey revealed that
C-level executives and security practitioners believe that the top
three computing sources that present the greatest threat to
information security today are mobile computing (69, social networks
(68%) and cloud computing platforms (35%). The survey also revealed
that while 65 percent of respondents believe mobile computing will
remain the top threat for the next two years, 62 percent believe that
over this same two-year period cloud computing will replace social
networks as the second riskiest computing environment. Furthermore,
the survey revealed that respondents plan to buy more firewalls than
any other primary IT security solution by the end of 2010.

"This survey validates that the cloud computing shift is becoming
reality and that IT security departments are very concerned about the
challenges it presents to the enterprise. If enterprises want to take
advantage of the benefits cloud computing offers and reduce associated
risks they are going to have to accelerate their cloud security
policies, procedures and programs," said Gary Fish, FishNet Security
CEO. "Not surprising, the survey also reveals that securing the
perimeter will continue to be a high priority and that firewalls will
remain an essential part of an effective enterprise security strategy
in 2010."

In addition to completing the survey questionnaire, respondents were
also invited to provide comments on the subject matter presented.
