CAMPBELL, CA -- 07/07/08 --
Communications market research firm
Infonetics Research reports that the
worldwide
managed security
services market, including CPE- and network-based managed firewalls,
content security, and other security services, will nearly double between
2007 and 2011, when it will reach $13.8 billion.
Infonetics' report, Security and Encrypted VPN
Services, shows the managed security services market grew 21% between
2006 and 2007, with roughly half the revenue coming from managed firewalls,
and the fastest growth coming from the content security segment.
"The emergence of non-traditional providers like Google and enterprise
acceptance of software-as-a-service has boosted the opportunity for content
security services, particularly in-the-cloud services, and these services
are really driving the strong growth we forecast through 2011. Meanwhile,
in the managed encrypted VPN space, the drivers are still there
(productivity improvements and costs savings combined with the complexity
of deploying them), but MPLS is really starting to steal business away from
encrypted site-to-site VPN services," said Jeff Wilson, principal
analyst for network security at Infonetics Research.
Other highlights from the report:
-- Content security services revenue is forecast to nearly triple during
between 2007 and 2011
-- In 2007, large organizations represented 44% of all spending on
security services, medium organizations 34%, small organizations 22%; by
2011 large organizations' share will drop while small organizations' share
will increase
-- The managed encrypted VPN services market inched up 1% between 2006
and 2007, and is expected to slowly decline over the next 4 years
-- While the overall managed encrypted VPN services market is decreasing,
the SSL VPN services segment is set to grow at a 25% compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) from 2007 to 2011
