In light of the economic downturn and rising cybercrime attacks as
indicated in Finjan's Web Security Trends Report Q4 2008 (
http://www.finjan.com/Content.aspx?id=827), Finjan conducted an online survey
among 200 IT and security professionals. The survey focused on determining
the trends for allocating IT budgets in 2009 compared to 2008.

The results reveal that the total IT budgets for 2009 tend to be reduced
compared to 2008. However, the IT security budget outlook was more optimistic
since organizations intend to dedicate a larger part of their total IT
budgets to IT security.

Key findings from the survey:

    - 38% of all respondents stated that they do not expect a change in their
      2009 IT budgets, while 34% indicated that they expect them to be 
      Slightly smaller - reflecting the general declining trend in corporate 
      budgets.

    - 34% of the respondents indicated that their IT security budgets for
      2009 will increase, indicating a general trend that organizations will
      allocate a larger part of their overall IT budget to IT security. 43% 
      of all respondents expect their IT security budget for 2009 to remain 
      the same.

    - The survey also found that the upward trend in IT security budget
      allocation was more pronounced in the financial and governmental 
      sectors than in others.



"During an economic downturn it is to be expected that all budgets come
under scrutiny. Organizations are trying to get the most out of their
spending and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their IT investments
- efficiency being the name of the game." said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Chief
Technology Officer at Finjan. "While 2008 saw IT security departments facing
new challenges in protecting valuable business data against an
ever-increasing wave of cybercrime attacks, 2009 is adding a further economic
challenge to the mix. As a result, organizations are looking for a
comprehensive security solution with low TCO that covers all their Web
security needs and is also simple and easy to manage." added Ben-Itzhak.
