Steve Birnkrant, CEO of Amplitude Research, said: "This year's survey responses pointed toward a sentiment among network administrators that they are generally satisfied with the level of security at their organizations, and are focused on issues such as security breaches, securing remote access, recovery plans, and virus or worm outbreaks. Overall, network administrators expressed significantly higher levels of satisfaction with security at data centers and with desktop PCs than the use of wireless LANs, handheld devices, laptops, or the physical security at their workplace."
