Asia Pacific's Secure Content Market Gains Ground as Compound Annual Growth Rate Expected to Rise to 17.9 Per cent between 2010 and 2017

APAC Enterprises Move towards an Information-centric IT Security Mindset

The APAC secure content management (SCM) market showed growing momentum in 2010 with revenue recorded at $499.5 million, up from $451.1 million in 2009. This is boosted by the rising demand for Web security solutions as enterprises have begun migrating their processes to the Web. APAC enterprises have more mature mindsets towards information technology (IT) security due to the greater awareness about the consequences of cyber attacks.

These adverse effects are becoming more pronounced with business being increasingly conducted online. As a result, enterprises are forced to commit more resources to SCM technologies to counter the dynamic threats, which are constantly testing the resilience of their network defences, be it in the form of spam or malware. Both the e-mail and Web gateways are likely to play important roles in facilitating business processes, as IT becomes more integrated into the business DNA of enterprises, notes the analyst of this research.

This ensures that the integrity of Web and e-mail channels will be critical in enabling them to achieve their objective. With both cyber threats and Web users expected to become more sophisticated, the onus is on vendors to incorporate greater threat intelligence and user management capabilities into their solutions for a more comprehensive SCM solution for e-mail or Web gateways.
