That is always the question - Although in these cases, the decisions tend to be made based on what many of the security software and appliances companies come up with. Having said that, it offers at least some perspective of the thinking out there. Given that security is an on-going active threat, my sense is that, while they can be influenced, real results would show, good or bad. So, it is not some ethereal argument about soft ideas; experience would bring it down to earth.

There is an interesting security survey on Baseline Magazine on line called Companies Spend On Security Amid Mobile and Social Threats - It may be interesting if you are trying to gage where security concerns are
right now. Now, is that where the *actual* security concerns are, or where companies have spent their money because consultants told them what concerns were? Consider the hype about "advanced persistent threats" - most of which are neither persistent or even all that advanced, or the hype about cyber-war, or the hype about... oh never mind, if I keep typing I'll just depress myself. ;)
