Industry Overview
The secure content management market consists of predator protection, antivirus, messaging security, web filtering, and anti-spyware products and services. Security threats continue to evolve from traditional viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other vulnerabilities, to more recent threats such as phishing (attacks that use spoofed websites and emails designed to record keystrokes or to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data), email fraud, and identity theft. This evolution is a key driver of the company’s research and development and acquisition strategies, as they continually differentiate their solutions from the competition and address their customers’ changing needs.
Other factors driving demand in this market include the increase in the number of Internet users and companies conducting business online, the continuous automation of business processes, increased pressures on companies to lower storage and server management costs while simultaneously increasing the utilization and performance of their existing IT infrastructure, and the increasing importance of document retention and regulatory compliance solutions.
