Abstract
This IDC study provides an overview and analysis of the Western European
security appliance market for 2007-2012. It includes a review of 2007 and a
five-year forecast for 2008-2012.
The study examines the UTM, FW/VPN, IDS, IPS, and SCM security appliance
markets as well as the total security appliance market, which looks at these
five security appliance markets as a combined market.
For each of these five security appliance markets, the study covers the
following areas from both a unit shipment and revenue perspective:
- Actual market sizes and growth up to 2007
- 2007 vendor trends and shares
- 2007 country trends and shares
- 2008-2012 market growth forecasts
- 2008-2012 country level market growth forecasts
The study also looks at UTM, FW/VPN, IDS, IPS, and SCM security appliances'
share of the total security appliance market for 2007 and their forecast shares
for 2008-2012.
"During 2007, the Western European security appliance market grew by 12.7% in
unit terms and 25.5% in revenue terms. IDC predicts growth from security
appliances to continue and is forecasting an 8.7% CAGR in 2008-2012 in unit
terms, and an 8.9% CAGR in revenue terms," said Romain Fouchereau, research
analyst, European Systems and Infrastructure Solutions - Security. "The
Security appliance market growth will be driven by three workloads: UTM, the
primary security appliance solution in Western Europe, which will keep growing
as higher-end UTM enters the market; IPS solutions, which are finally taking
off as more and more enterprises are using the technology to gain a better
understanding of what type of data is traversing their networks and to monitor
network connections; and SCM appliances, especially messaging security
appliance, whose growth is fuelled by a combination of internal and external
threats (spam and antivirus, but also data leakage prevention)."
