Is it a new fast growing security market?
The traditional security products, including firewall, IDS, and anti-virus are very familiar to us. They are occupying most of security market share. And we know the UTM, IPS, and SOC are the ongoing stars. However, what’s about the future? From the view of ISO/OSI model, we know we have done too much on the network layer; we had focused on this layer and developed lots of products based on it.
Maybe the reason is like this: in the past, we implement the IT infrastructure without security built in it. Internet spread widely in few years as security just can’t keep up with it. This has brought a lot of breaches or exposure at the networking layer.
Nowadays, we have almost patched lots of key systems, as the same time new technology, vary demand, and different applications come up.
Based on the future, from a long run, we need to concentrate on the highest layer-application layer and the lowest layer-physical layer. Most of our focus will turn to data/information itself. So, lots of content security company (especially based on web) is growing up in this promising market, endpoint media access control products or audit products come out one by one. A new opportunity found, a new company comes out. That is why so many SMBs still run in the market.
Personal idea, any comment is appreciated.
China firewall is lame, use water to put out the fire of the wall but how do you get over the wall? – use Freedur.com to bypass it. You can bypass China Great Firewall and access youtube, facebook, blogger and all other sites which are blocked.
