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.

Additional Information
Some key issues examined in this report:
- Vertical markets. Recognition of the need for IT security is stronger in particular verticals, especially financial services, government and telecoms, whilst others including retail and manufacturing show very little concern for security at all.
- Integrated security solutions. The market is likely to move in the direction of vendors that can provide more than one product or complementary services that will fit into an overall strategic vision.
- Instant Messaging. Not only can this medium transmit worms faster than email, it also allows confidential or damaging information to be transferred without security checks.
- Phishing. This emerging threat from spammers involves creating fraudulent emails and sites that mimic known brands, with attacks often targeted using spyware.
- Radio frequency identification (RFID). This emerging technology carries three key security issues: consumer privacy, authentication and corporate eavesdropping.
