Infonetics Projects Mobile Device Security Software Market to Reach $3.4 Billion in 2018

"The triple threat of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) as a dominant enterprise trend, an increasingly hostile threat environment, and the deluge of frightening revelations about privacy courtesy of the NSA is forcing enterprises and consumers to invest real money in mobile device security. The mobile device security software market grew 40% to cross the billion-dollar mark in 2013 and we expect it to grow to $3.4 billion in 2018," says Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research.
