Abstract
This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese report, IDC #J8330109)
analyzes and provides forecasts for the Japan IT security service market by
segment (consulting, system implementation, system management, and
education/training) and by vendor type (systems integrators [Sis] and
carriers). We examined the trends in 2007, forecast the market sizes and growth
rates for the period beginning 2008 to 2012, and presented some suggestions to
service vendors.
In making the forecasts for the Japan information security service market from
2009 and beyond, it was necessary to pay attention to the diverse threats,
their impact on the society, the maneuvers of players from other markets, and
the moves of IT security vendors in response to these. "Security solutions are
becoming more sophisticated and complex technologically and since they require
specialized knowledge, it is difficult for user companies to implement them on
their own. In the corporate world where ' core competence' and ' selection and
focus' have become common buzzwords, there is a strong motivation for companies
to outsource security functions that have weak relations with their business
processes," says Hideki Hanaoka, research manager, Security Research, IDC Japan.
