The process of digitisation will become more all-encompassing, but will
create new data security needs that can only be met by multiple
suppliers, a report has said.

2. Analysts Gartner predicted that the level of IT spending worldwide will
rise to $3.8 trillion (£2.4 trillion) in 2014, up 3.6 per cent on this year.
Senior vice president at Gartner and global head of research Peter
Sondergaard told his audience at a symposium in Orlando, Florida that
the expansion of digitisation will lead to "every budget being an IT
budget; every company being a technology company".
He added that this will produce a digital industrial economy that will
make large scale use of cloud computing, mobile and data, which will
combine to produce a "nexus" of forces shaping the future. He
predicted that mobile will be the key area of computer usage and data
generation, as most purchases are now tablets rather than PCs or
laptops.

3. However, all this will make data protection more important than ever,
Mr Sondergaard remarked. Noting that this will be a primary concern
for firms by 2020, he stated: "Digitalization will create new
infrastructures and new vulnerabilities in our infrastructures.
"We recommend that you build a portfolio of security vendors because
no single vendor addresses more than a fraction of your problem.
Everyone will need to establish more agile security processes."

4. Many will find part of the solution is to have off-site backup, so that any
attacks on their digital infrastructure will not destroy the data, since it
can be stored independently elsewhere.
The global nature of the developments Gartner is predicting may be
particularly relevant for the UK, which has been listed by the United
Nations as one of the leading countries in the world for online
connectivity, rising from 11th in 2012 to tenth this year.

5. South Korea leads the way in this table for the third year running,
followed by Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Finland and Norway. The
Netherlands, Luxembourg and China are the other members of the top
ten.
