Internet Security: Strategic Market Options and Forecasts to 2001
|
|


Internet security markets are poised to grow as firewalls, encryption, messaging, and servers are implemented using a range of systems architectures. Market growth is being fueled by the need for transmission of transaction data and preservation of data integrity. Systems architectures are being impacted by the need for integration of security functions.
Internet Security systems depend on fundamental architecture. Two different security architectures are general perimeter protection and discrete but logically independent domains. New architectures will support administrative protection at multiple levels of the enterprise. The rise of the Internet has posed the problem of protecting against external intrusion into the enterprise network. Discrete but logically independent domains within the enterprise need bi-directional protection from within the network as well as from external threat.
If the Internet is to support $20 billion of purchases by 2000, security must be possible, implemented, and believable. The AT&T SecureBuy program which guarantees secure transactions over the Internet represents an early Internet initiative poised to reap the benefit of large market share early. Suppliers to this and other Internet initiatives are developing a market leadership position that will be difficult to dislodge by competitors that come later.
Internet Security
Strategic Market Options and Forecasts to 2001
Internet market explosive growth is stimulating the need for data
security. Now is the time to
achieve a presence in Internet security markets, before the market leaders
become entrenched, while the rapid growth phase is still occurring.
$500 million markets in 1996 are expected to exceed $5 billion by 2001
as Internet home pages begin to be used for commerce.
The study documents shifts occurring in Internet security markets.
It provides insight about strategic market options in the context of
the following:
· Security as migration to distributed computing systems occurs
· Security as data is transferred from the client directly into mission critical central computing systems
· Impact of Internet security on development of Internet commercial markets
· Rate of use of Internet by consumers increases
· Speed of adoption of Internet by enterprise increases
· Impact on security architecture as Internet servers are located close to content developers
· Support of Internet in driving development of new applications
· Impact of hybrid fiber optic / coax communications transport lines
· Impact of implementation of broadband communications infrastructure
· Impact of implementation of ATM switching systems
The Study Addresses:
·
