The security market is constantly evolving: new threats emerge at a rapid rate and anti-virus software providers and security vendors must respond quickly to supply the relevant protection for organisations’ IT systems. This report focuses on emerging security threats – such as spyware and phishing – and new security markets – such as security information management and network access control – that are being created in response to new threats and ways of managing an organisation’s security infrastructure. In addition, this report examines new and future technology developments that offer organisations much promise – in terms of streamlining supply chains (RFID) or improving working practices (mobile working) – but also come with new security concerns. This report attempts to fill this gap in the market. In addition, it identifies new trends in the security market – such as security information management and network access control – and reveals which vendors have first-mover advantage in providing products and services in each new market category.
