Global IT security spending will increase by 7% year on year to $ 40 per cent in year , according to analysts at Gartner , indicating a fertile environment for security start-ups that offer specialised two services. Gartner has predicted swift expansion for security testing for infrastructure protection, given that data breaches and demand for app security are likely to increase.
