Abstract
This IDC study features a detailed competitive analysis of the leading secure
content management (SCM) software suite vendors in the Australia and New
Zealand Market (ANZ) market - Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Sophos, and CA. It
also features an analysis of Microsoft, a more recent entrant into the SCM
market. The study presents an IDC Leadership Grid evaluating the competitive
position of the key SCM vendors in the ANZ market, and provides insights to
trends, developments, and challenges in this highly competitive market. The key
trends in the SCM market include the growing sophistication of cyber criminals,
Web security, and information protection and control (IPC) challenges, and the
emergence of hybrid security models.
"To be successful in this highly competitive market, vendors should not only
address current security threats and challenges, but also, constantly innovate
and improve their offerings, businesses, and go-to-market strategies," says
Patrik Bihammar, senior analyst, Security Solutions, IDC Australia and New
Zealand.
