With today marking the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, there's tons of news related to how companies have been preparing for similar events as well as more than a few surveys detailing what has taken place with IT security over the past five years.

According to the survey by security vendor nCircle, 86 percent of IT leaders believe their enterprises are sufficiently safe from cyberterror attacks, but 85 percent don't have the same view of the efforts by U.S. government agencies.
