The BSA Global Software Survey is out

BSA Software Alliance most recent survey shows a compliance gap of 43%. This is an increase of 1% since 2011 and indicates that almost half of all software is unlicensed. Combined with security being the biggest concern the need for being in compliance has never been more crucial.

It is quite the paradox! On one side users rank security threats from malware as their biggest concern. On the other side unlicensed software continues to grow. BSA estimates software without license to be 43% of all installations which amounts more than € 46 billion globally in 2013. Amongst risks associated with unlicensed software 64 percent of users cited unauthorized access by hackers as a top concern and 59 percent cited loss of data.

Never before has it been as important to be properly licensed. Apart from the security risks the threat of audits calls for a proper SAM solution which annually will save the company both time and money.
