In this IDC study, we analyze two of the most popular IT discussions in today's environment. Wireless and security topics are merged together in this report using results from IDC latest surveys and events occurring in and around the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) region, or APEJ. "Efficient communication has been the building block of businesses in the 21^st century. People were awe-inspired at the invention and mass adoption of the wireless communicator. The list evolves from radio, CB (citizens' band) radios, remote controls, to smart phones, wireless LAN, WiMax, and so forth. Now we must think about the management of our newest inventions, including wireless security. As the technological world is expanding, including wireless technology and its rate of usage, security concerns, including those in the wireless environment, have stayed at the forefront of considerations for IT professionals," says Joshua Leung, market analyst, Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
