Growth in the global market will be slow as fierce competition in the Web content security segment and integration with other network security platforms such as unified threat management, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and data loss prevention software inhibit the adoption of standalone solutions. Additionally, high-valued, advanced, persistent threat solutions such as sandboxing are often billed separately, further reducing the ability of vendors to command premium prices for standalone Web content security solutions. The fragmented nature of the market is a challenge as too many vendors possess appropriate intellectual property in the marketplace, leading to management complexity.
"Consolidation in the global Web and email content security market is not a question of 'if,' but 'when,'" said Frost & Sullivan Network Security Industry Principal Frank Dickson . "As common intellectual property for content security is spread across communication channels like Web, email and social media, vendors will be driven to offer a unifying suite of content security products with a single point of interface. As such, market consolidation will reduce complexity for customers and decrease administrative overheads for security professionals."
Consolidation will particularly benefit small and medium businesses that require a higher level of simplicity and ease of management. This will, in turn, force vendors to invest in product and platform innovation. Companies that focus on offering the best security technology and ignore the usability of products for customers will lose market share.
"Suppliers must also cater to the unique requirements of various end-user verticals, including education, financial, healthcare, government and technology," added Dickson. "Approaching these verticals with a one-size-fits-all approach will be ineffective and restrict the reach of solution providers in the global market."
