The market for network advanced threat prevention (ATP) is expected to grow rapidly in the next five years as they look to protect users against harmful e-mails and malware in gateways, according to a new report from IHS.
Network ATP revenues are set to have a 22% CAGR over the next five years. Source: IHSThe forecast for network ATP revenue is expected to manage a 22% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2014 and 2019, IHS says. This is the fastest growth of any security gateway products IHS tracks.
Jeff Wilson, research director for cybersecurity technology at IHS“Though the market for traditional messaging and web/malware security gateway products is trending flat to down, network ATP and SaaS are growing aggressively, signaling a shift to new deployment models and solutions that deal directly with unknown threats,” says Jeff Wilson, research director for cybersecurity technology at IHS.
“As with most new threat prevention technologies, network ATP will exist as a standalone solution and as a tightly integrated solution, for example as a module in a firewall or secure web gateway,” Wilson says.
