Worldwide Network Security
MARKET ANALYSIS Worldwide Network Security 2012–2016 Forecast and 2011 Vendor Shares
John Grady
IDC OPINION
The worldwide network security market grew by 6.1% in 2011. The total market, which includes firewall, unified threat management (UTM), intrusion detection and prevention (IDP), and virtual private network (VPN) solutions, reached $7.4 billion in 2011. UTM revenue saw the strongest growth at 17.4% and reached $2.2 billion. The IDP market saw more moderate growth at 4.5%, reaching $1.9 billion. The firewall segment remained the largest component of the market at $2.4 billion but grew only a modest 2.9% over 2010. Revenue from standalone VPN solutions fell 5.3% to $0.9 billion. IDC expects the firewall and VPN segments to remain fairly flat over the forecast period. UTM and IDP solutions will drive the overall market to $10.1 billion in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. Other highlights include: Application awareness and control will continue to be a key feature demanded by organizations to address the ever-blurring line between personal and corporate use of the Web and better enable business processes and productivity. Further, the "bring your own device" (BYOD) trend will necessarily continue to drive more granularity and context into policy management. Integrating more advanced malware detection will be one of the key drivers in the UTM/next-generation firewall and IDP spaces.
