Tough Economy not Good for Security Practice

Over a year ago, some security research shops began highlighting the rise of a certain set of attacks they said were being driven by the downturn in the worldwide economy.
However, since malware has been surging fairly consistently since long before the recession ever got going, those results never seemed too convincing, or at least never garnered that much ink.
In the meantime, many analysts predicted that security spending would be on Hold or would only increase slightly even as larger IT budgets faltered, which seemed to make a little sense, since, if you believe those same experts, security spending has been growing at a rate pretty commensurate with the rising tide of electronic attacks for at least a good few years.
But, some forward-thinking IT security experts also began forecasting that even if dedicated spending didn't falter, security certainly would, especially as layoffs took hold in the overall IT work force and people like network and desktop admins, who take care of so many daily security tasks, began to see their ranks thinned out due to the economy.
And now, it could get worse.
In a new survey issued by experts at consulting giant Deloitte, respondents indicated that not only do they still feel increasingly threatened by cyber-attacks, but they are now also being forced to cut their security budgets based on outside economic forces.
In a nod to the idea that security is seeing a rapid slowdown, Deloitte reported that only 6 percent of those surveyed said they would attribute 7 percent or more of their overall IT spending to security, compared with 36 percent in the previous batch of results. Companies are now "explicitly scaling back" their security budgets, the consulting company contended.
Companies are focusing more effort on optimizing solutions that are already in place rather than investing in cutting-edge technology that can be capitalized upon during economic recovery.

Who would pertain Oracle IdM or Sun IdM ?

After the SUN acquisition,there has been a debate on the future of the Identity management suite,which one would pertain Oracle IDM or SUN IDM?

If I see this from Marketing or Business Perspective then,I think that in the short term there will be no changes and Oracle would be continuing with both stacks ,while in long run Oracle will focus on their new internal organization. As a matter of fact Oracle don't want to see the SUN employees leaving the boat massively as well as SUN customers.
One strategy could be in short tem,Oracle IDM for Large Deployments and SUN IDM for small Deployments . In the medium term they may end up proposing to the SUN customers some sort of migration program.
Technically,the Speculation is tough as Oracle IDM stores all its information in a database directory and SUN stores meta information gathered from resources. Genetically tough to do.
However,Oracle has a leading advantage of more robust deployments with a large userbase,in comparison to the SUN IDM.
