Description

This IDC study provides spending trends and growth forecasts for the Japan security services market from 2025 to 2029, divided into the professional security services market and the managed security services market. One of the factors driving the market is the demand for services that address the latest market changes, such as the expanding business use of GenAI, the implementation of zero trust architecture, and the increasing complexity of cloud environments. Furthermore, IDC believes that the key to further market expansion lies in leveraging AI and automation technologies, addressing new security risks created by AI, and expanding the provision of solutions for SMBs.Yoriyuki Yamashita, research manager for Infrastructure and Devices at IDC Japan, says, "The Japan security services market is entering a period of structural transformation, driven by changes in technology and operations, such as the widespread adoption of generative AI, the expansion of zero trust implementation, and the advancement of security product platformization. IT suppliers should strengthen their comprehensive operational support, including non-security elements, and enhance their support for addressing new risks associated with the utilization of generative AI and AI agents."This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ52496025.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
