Cloud-based security to spur growth in specialized threat analysis and protection market
The specialized threat analysis and protection market is forecast by TechNavio to increase at a healthy 41.3 percent compound annual growth rate through 2018.
This growth will be fueled by demand for cloud-based security solutions because of budget constraints and lack of in-house expertise. Firms are finding it hard to manage standalone or integrated network components with in-house resources.
“Hence, companies are increasingly opting for cloud-based specialized threat analysis and protection solutions, which are cost-effective, compliant with PCI DSS, and offer round-the-clock monitoring of the system,” explains TechNavio.
Leading vendors in the specialized threat analysis and protection market include Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco Systems, EMC, Fortinet, McAfee, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec and Trend Micro.
Another major market driver is the need to improve the quality of protection. “As the frequency of attacks is increasing, organizations are increasingly implementing specialized threat analysis and protection products that efficiently monitor and provide enhanced protection. Hence, more end-users are adopting specialized threat analysis and protection products,” relates TechNavio.
A major obstacle faced by specialized threat analysis and protection vendors is the high implementation cost. “Certain organizations refrain from investing in such solutions, owing to the high costs associated with them. In addition, there are certain hidden costs involved in the maintenance of such solutions. Factors like these discourage end-users from adopting these products, thereby affecting the growth of the Global Specialized Threat Analysis and Protection market,” the market research firm adds.
