,'P3' AS PERIOD
,'2013' AS FISCALYEAR        
,COUNT(CASE SecurityLayer WHEN 'dblayer' THEN SecurityLayer ELSE '' END) DB_SEC_COUNT         
,COUNT(CASE SecurityLayer WHEN 'Applayer' THEN SecurityLayer ELSE '' END) APP_SEC_COUNT  
FROM [db_eCAM].[dbo].[tbl_SecChecks]  
GROUP BY CATEGORY

Answer 1

Are you trying to return the # of times each of those things matches? Then use

SELECT CATEGORY
--WHAT PERIOD?
,'P3' AS PERIOD
,'2013' AS FISCALYEAR  
,SUM(CASE SecurityLayer WHEN 'dblayer' then 1 else 0 end) AS DB_SEC_COUNT
,SUM(CASE SecurityLayer WHEN 'Applayer' then 1 else 0 end) AS APP_SEC_COUNT
FROM [db_eCAM].[dbo].[tbl_SecChecks]  
GROUP BY CATEGORY

Try that.
