Infonetics: Network Security up 7% YoY as Buyers Move to Integrated Solutions; Blue Coat up in Content Security
CAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Analyst firm Infonetics
Research released excerpts from 2 3rd quarter (3Q12) security market
share and forecast reports: Network
Security Appliances and Software and Content
Security Gateway Appliances, Software, and SaaS.
ANALYST NOTE
"Looking at the top 3 network security vendors' quarter-over-quarter
revenue performance, Cisco increased 1.5%, Check Point
increased 3.2%, and Juniper increased 11.1%," notes Jeff
Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics
Research. "Overall the network security appliance and software
market saw moderately strong growth in the 3rd quarter and
there is always potential for a great 4th quarter because of
seasonal budget flush."
Wilson
continues, "In the content security segment, companies with broad
security product portfolios can, if they are nimble, shift revenue by
continuing to integrate web and mail security functions into firewall
and IPS platforms while maintaining standalone solutions. Focused
content security companies will be forced to broaden their product
portfolios, get acquired, or develop strong partnerships to grow
revenue."
3Q12 NETWORK SECURITY MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
-
Global network security appliance and software revenue is up a strong
7% from the year-ago 3rd quarter

Integrated security appliances have gained share every quarter since

stale integrated appliance market share picture, setting the stage for

mobile malware samples in its database just a year ago, growing to
