we estimate that, in 2003, expenditure on information technology (IT) security products and services reached £1.25bn at final selling prices, a rise of 25% on 2002. In contrast with the majority of sectors in the computer industry, the market for IT security products and services is still registering strong annual growth — between 2000 and 2003, the market increased by 92.3%.<BR><BR>This Market Report focuses on two aspects of IT security: expenditure on products, which includes spending on hardware, software and appliances; and expenditure on services, which covers consultancy, systems integration, training and outsourcing.<BR><BR>Between 2000 and 2003, expenditure on security products and services was driven by a number of forces, including: the rise in the number of security breaches suffered by organisations and the growing costs associated with them; the increasing value of data held in corporate IT systems; the growing sophistication of new security threats — such as intelligent malware — which require new protection products; changing business practice, such as outsourcing, globalisation, teleworking and e-business, which have led to the development of distributed corporate structures and greater networking of computers within and between organisations; and the rise in politically inspired attacks. However, despite these drivers for IT security, a large proportion of UK businesses regard spending on security as an overhead rather than an investment.<BR><BR>Between 2000 and 2003, the buying behaviour of organisations changed in important ways, which, in turn, has changed the nature of the IT security market. Many organisations are adopting a 'layered security' approach, which combines solutions — such as desktop anti-virus, server and gateway anti-virus, and content filtering — with proactive techniques, such as behaviour analysis and heuristics. In addition, clients are seeking to buy integrated platforms/appliances rather than individual `best-of-breed' products. Security appliances are taking an increasing share of the market, meaning that hardware-based products are growing at the expense of software-based products.<BR><BR>The focus of IT security is moving from preventing access to systems to allowing access in a controlled manner. In this way, there is a greater emphasis on identity and access management solutions. In addition, security of mobile devices and systems is of growing importance.<BR><BR>In the next 5 years (2004 to 2008), expenditure on IT security products and services will grow strongly. In particular, products and services that offer: a strong return on investment and make security more manageable; wireless and application security solutions; security audits and penetration testing; role-based access control solutions; biometric technology; products and services that enforce corporate policy, comply with privacy regulations and limit legal liability; content management software; outsourcing; and security appliances, will be increasingly popular.<BR><BR> <BR>
