Analysis of Global Web Content Filtering Market
Frost & Sullivan, July 2012, Pages: 125
The prevention of malware exposure, content liabilities, and meeting government compliance has grown significantly in demand in the last three years. However, vendors are in a constant state of competition in which acquisitions, partnerships, volatile rebranding, consolidation, and aggressive pricing structures have created global strategic and tactical marketing. Cloud solutions have become a disruptive technology for on-premise appliances where cloud solutions are seen as a new way to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and capital expenditures (CAPEX). Mobile and remote devices are becoming a new paradigm for corporate environments with laptops, tablets, and smartphones as a major concern.
Executive Summary
-Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook and Twitter, along with a growing establishment of new Web sites, opened new channels for malware distributors to perform malicious attacks.
-Organizations face the complexity of managing evolving malware, maintaining productivity, and meeting compliance.
-Number of malicious sites identified each day, percent of legitimate sites compromised by malware distributors.
-Employees have become a liability to an organization’s security; throughout 2011 major corporations experienced security breaches as a result of Web 2.0 Web site access.
-Access to inappropriate content such as pornography, violence, and racism can create litigations and lawsuits that could range in the millions of dollars.
-Loss of productivity remains a top concern with executives, where content management becomes highly complex and laborious.
-Social networking sites can cause productivity concerns because of cyber slacking activities.
-Large enterprises seek solutions offering simplified, single-console management features that can control a large number of devices and users.
-Web content filtering vendors must address requirements presented by legacy systems, different platforms, and a variety of information technology (IT) environments in enterprises.
-Additional features such as data loss prevention (DLP), antivirus, and network optimization tools are becoming increasingly integrated within secure Web gateway solutions.
-Cloud computing, or software-as-a-service (SaaS) Web content filtering solutions, provide SME’s with low total cost of ownership (TCO) and efficient offsite filtering abilities.
-Partnerships with major Web 2.0 sites and major acquisitions of smaller security vendors indicate a new trend in achieving market leadership and penetration.
-Frost & Sullivan believes convergence of Web content filtering with additional security solutions will become the new paradigm within the next five years.
