Infonetics: New Network Security Solutions Will Stimulate Spending, Shift Vendor Standings

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 1st quarter (1Q13) Network Security Appliances and Software vendor market share and forecast reports.

ANALYST NOTE

“Customers are tired of investing in solutions that don’t really improve their security posture and are looking to make changes,” notes Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research. “Though the top 3 network security vendors -- Cisco, Check Point, and Juniper -- have been fairly steady over the last 5 years, an extreme focus on efficacy and the move towards products with unified threat management or next-gen firewall features will drive vendor share changes this year.”

NETWORK SECURITY MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• The global network security market (appliances and software) declined 9.3% in 1Q13 from 4Q12, to $1.5 billion
• From the year-ago 1^st quarter, network security appliance and software revenue is up 1.7%
• 2013 began with a whimper for many of the leading network security vendors, but Palo Alto Networks and WatchGuard bucked the seasonal slump, posting slight growth in 1Q13
• New solutions that offer improved security efficacy and huge performance increases will stimulate spending on network security appliances and software through at least 2017
