Campbell, CALIFORNIA, June 25, 2009—Communications market research firm Infonetics Research today released a new market size and forecast report, Security and Encrypted VPN Services: CPE, Cloud, and SaaS. Highlights from the report follow.
ANALYST NOTE
“Despite the global economic meltdown, the security services market is strong and growing, driven by increasing global demand from organizations of all sizes due to the proliferation of threats of all types, the complexity of current security solutions, and the desire of many service providers to add revenue and improve margins. There’s a dip in growth in 2009, but strong interest in SaaS and broad availability of SaaS offerings from a wide variety of players—from network providers and security specialist service providers to large content providers and product manufacturers—drive continued growth in the market. SaaS is definitely the future of managed network security,” said Jeff Wilson, Infonetics Research’s Principal Analyst for Network Security.
SECURITY AND ENCRYPTED VPN SERVICES MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
- The revenue service providers derive from managed security services is forecast to grow 78% from 2008 to 2013 worldwide
- North America is the largest market for managed security services, but the EMEA market has been more accepting of managed security services, and the greenfield opportunities in developing markets within Asia Pacific and CALA fuel strong growth
- Revenue derived from managed security SaaS is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 46% from 2008 to 2013, the highest CAGR in Infonetics’ security services report by far
- Content security services make up most of the SaaS opportunity
- Large organizations buy the bulk of security services worldwide, but small and medium organizations represent growing segments of the market
- The managed encrypted VPN services market declined slightly in 2008, to $20.05 billion, as MPLS services continue to steal business away from encrypted services and the global recession hampers general business expansion and growth
- Many service providers have gotten into the SSL VPN game, eyeing a shift in remote access revenue and high margins, driving significant SSL VPN service revenue growth through 2013
