Abstract
This IDC study examines the Web security market for the period from 2006 to
2012, with vendor revenue and market growth forecasts. Worldwide market sizing
is provided for 2006-2007, and a five-year growth forecast for this market is
shown for 2008-2012. Revenue and market share of the leading vendors is
provided for 2006-2007.
"As a growing number of Web 2.0 applications make their way into the
enterprise, they bring with them even more security concerns and attack
vectors," said Brian Burke, program director for IDC' s Security Products
program. "Given that Web 2.0 exposes organizations to both inbound and outbound
security threats, IDC believes future Web security solutions must analyze
traffic bidirectionally."
