We met Sid Deshpande<\/strong>, Principal Research Analyst at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit in Mumbai, in early September. He told us about security spending trends and the growth of security services in India. We also learned about the steps that organizations should take towards making security a part of the development process for applications and platforms. At the end of this interview story he tells us how organizations can protect themselves from ransomware attacks.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Sid Deshpande:<\/strong> The shift towards services is happening because companies are beginning to realize that they now have to move from just prevention to detection and response.<\/p>\n Services providers are not a substitute for technology; they offer a way to bring on board new technologies and new processes that can assist with detection and response.<\/p>\n So enterprises must use service providers as a seamless part of their security strategy.<\/p>\n Within Security Services, what are the fastest growing segments?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are three types of Security Services: Security Consulting, Security Implementation and Security Outsourcing.<\/p>\n Implementation has always been a strong market in India and it involves the SIs and VARs (channel). But a lot of the growth is happening in consulting and outsourcing. This is because these providers have established frameworks. They are able to help companies design security strategies, do risk assessments and do other consulting projects around specific areas like Identity Access Management, incident response or forensics. They close the gaps in the company\u2019s enterprise security program.<\/p>\n Outsourcing is more on the operational\/execution side. Once you design a security strategy you need to run it. It could either be remotely managed or managed on premise.<\/p>\n In the next 12-18 months we will continue to see security operations being the focal point of this growth in security services.<\/p>\n There is a shortage of skills in India for forensics, incident response and Identity Access Management. Organizations do not have those resources and so they will turn to outsourcing. A service provider can assure a consistent level of service delivery from a skills perspective. By 2020 security outsourcing will be the largest segment in security services.<\/p>\n
\nBrian Pereira: \u00a0According to Gartner, collective Enterprise Security spending in India has increased 10.6 percent \u2013 from $1.01 billion in 2015 to $1.12 billion in 2016. \u00a0And a chunk of this is going towards Security Services. What is causing this shift?<\/strong><\/p>\n
