Industry Research Reveals Businesses Spend More On
Printers Than Network Security
LONDON, UK, April 27, 2004 - IDC today revealed that

seriously enough. This is reflected in the amount
of money that is invested in security solutions -
$42 billion in 2003. The figure is less than five
per cent of the total IT spend - and is comparable
to the $43 billion annual spend on printers and multifunctional
peripherals during 2003.
