Research firm points out 5 trends in the information security market
Gartner says that worldwide investments in information security will reach US$ 75.4 billion in 2015, an increase of 4.7% over 2014. This increase is driven by government initiatives, changes in legislation and high-level data breaches. of sophistication. According to Gartner, security testing, IT outsourcing, and identity and access management represent key growth opportunities for technology vendors.
According to Gartner, spending on endpoint protection platforms and systems aimed at consumer safety is showing signs of commoditization. “Interest in security technologies is increasingly spurred by elements of the digital business, particularly cloud, mobile computing and the Internet of Things, as well as the sophistication and high impact of targeted attacks,” says Elizabeth Kim, research analyst at Gartner. , who believes this focus is driving investment in emerging offerings.
For Gartner, the trends in the information security market are:
The price increase will lead organizations to forego the purchase of security products – As most security products are created in the United States, the appreciation of the dollar is expected to trigger significant price changes when converting from local currencies to US dollars. In Europe, for example, most prices rose by 20%. The recovery in 2016 will come from a combination of acquisitions carried out in the same year and the expected stabilization of exchange rates.
Enterprise Content Awareness Data Loss Prevention (DLP) market growth will face shrinkage from 4% to 5% by the end of 2019 – Gartner data shows the stable performance of the main vendors in the segment in 2014. Given the rise of the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) channel and “DLP lite” solutions, the market is not expected to show strong growth in its current form in the next few years. years old.
By the end of 2020, less than 5% of network security vendors will gain traction in the Terminal Protection Platform (EPP) market – EPPs represent the expectation of organizations to have the smallest possible number of agents in terminals. Additional agents generate a greater risk of interference with applications and require solutions with complementary alerts, updates and product deployments. Few vendors succeed beyond endpoint and network operations, but there are many examples of vendors pulling out of other markets.
Less than 5% of organizations with 500+ employees will purchase Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions by 2019 – Enterprise protection barriers and Unified Threat Management solutions remain separate products and markets, and despite the lower price point, demand for UTM devices will continue to be restricted to the Small and Medium Business (SMB) markets. Gartner analysts expect companies to continue to predominantly use routers and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) links to connect their smaller branch offices to regional hubs.
In 2018, 85% of the new business for network functionality will be part of a package with protection barriers and content security platforms – For the past three years, leading-edge organizations have been looking at the advanced threat environment, where threats emerge faster than traditional blocking mechanisms. Several high-profile breaches have heightened awareness of the need to detect malicious software (malware). Security platform vendors have introduced less costly, often cloud-based, software elimination systems as extensions to the tool.
