This IDC study, which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J9220105, presents an analysis of the Japan IT security software market in 2008, as well as market forecasts in 2009-2013. The security software market is affected by the economic crisis and will slow down in 2009. However, it will register stable growth from 2010 together with the recovery of the economic climate.

"In most cases, the implementation of security solutions will affect business efficiency. Companies are increasingly concerned over cost reduction and improvements in business efficiency under a deteriorating economic environment. However, they are also aware of the importance of security solutions. To promote the implementation of security products, security vendors and solution vendors should improve their offerings of security services and products that will prevent deteriorating business efficiency," says Tsuneo Tosaka, research manager, Software and Security, IDC Japan.
