Abstract
This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the security and vulnerability
management (SVM) software market, which incorporates the security management
and vulnerability assessment software markets. The study covers CY07 for the
market sizing and forecasts the market for the period 2008-2012. Specific
vendor revenue and market shares are included in this study.
"As organizations continue to expand, the number and type of security products
they use, it becomes more difficult to know if those products are providing the
right type of risk mitigation," says Charles Kolodgy, research director for
Security Products. "Security and vulnerability management tools can be used to
make "security smart" by discovering hard-to-find threats, supplementing
security controls with policy, and automatically remediation of security
problems."
