IBM announced that it has been recognized as the world leader in the intrusion detection and intrusion prevention market in 2007 in a new research service by global growth consulting company, Frost & Sullivan.
The research service, entitled “World Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems Markets,” examined the market penetration, long-term vision and competitive differentiators of over 40 market participants and found IBM ISS to be the leader with a 22 percent share of the global market.
With key market drivers including increasingly complex attacks, ongoing vulnerability discoveries, and the need for companies to comply with new legislation, Frost & Sullivan expects the worldwide IDS/IPS market to grow from $932 million in 2007 to $2.1 billion in the next five years.
