Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed analysis of the Australia and New Zealand
(ANZ) security solutions market. The report includes an analysis of the current
market size and its growth potential through to 2012. IDC segments this market
sizing by security software, appliances, and services. IDC further segments the
market into different functional markets: secure content and threat management
(SCTM), identity and access management (IAM), and security and vulnerability
management (SVM). The study provides insights into the key dynamics shaping
this diverse, evolving, and highly competitive market.
"IDC believes security solutions will continue to provide strong growth
opportunities for vendors and service providers in the ANZ market over the
forecast period. Organisations are pressured to lower costs and improve
operational efficiency, whilst at the same time, keep up with the constantly
evolving security threats, technologies, and regulations. Customers will demand
easy management, well-integrated solutions and low total cost of ownership
(TCO) of any IT security investment. This provides a challenge for security
solution providers that need to continue to develop new technologies, business
models, and strategies to be successful in this highly competitive market,"
says Patrik Bihammar, senior analyst, Security Solutions, IDC Australia and New
Zealand.
