IDC: China IT security hardware, software and services 2015–2019 Panorama

Recently, IDC released the "China IT security hardware, software and services 2015–2019 Panorama" shows that in 2014, China's IT security market size of US $2239.8M, up 18.5%, the second half of the 41.7% and 58.3% respectively. In the overall IT security market, the security hardware market accounted for the largest, 53.1%, followed by the security services and security software market, accounting for 25% and 21.9% respectively. It is expected that by 2019 China's IT Security market will reach a compound growth rate of US $4822m,2014 to 2019 of 16.6%.

IDC believes that in the overall information security market, the share of domestic manufacturers has reached 67%, and the future market share of domestic manufacturers will be further expanded.

In Siem (note: not the SOC platform) belongs to the SVM segment market, 2014 Market size of US $55.8M, is the security software market in the fastest growing sub-market. IDC said that Enterprise security products from the independent deployment to solve a certain aspect of security issues, gradually developed into the need to systematically consider security issues, building a unified management of information security platform, the real value of the Security Operations Center is being more and more enterprise users recognized.

IDC is optimistic about the development of the big data-driven threat intelligence business. IDC believes that traditional static defenses cannot cope with new security threats, and that threat intelligence based on big data can be used as a powerful new weapon to deal with them. As this new type of advanced directional attack continues to grow, businesses and organizations responding to this new threat need to move from traditional passive defense to proactive defense, before the vulnerability overflows
The threat intelligence analysis market came into being and flourished as it blocked attackers and responded better to these new attacks.

The other two IDC bullish trends are:

• Security as a service: The application of cloud computing technology and business model to information security, the realization of a security-as-a-service technology and business model, so that users do not need to personally manage the security facilities, and to minimize the cost of services to obtain convenient, on-demand, scalable information security protection services. As users become more aware of security services, and the current shortage of information security professionals, more and more users will adopt security cloud services to more accurately grasp the security dynamics of the whole network.

• Integrated security Architecture: Security executives focus on standalone tools, while chief information security officers are more focused on building end-to-end integrated security architectures. In this regard, some foreign security industry leaders have begun to layout, including their threat intelligence center and data exchange layer, to integrate forensics, risk management and vulnerability management into a common platform. and domestic manufacturers in the integration of security architecture is still very deficient, look forward to the future can have more domestic security vendors sharing and collaboration.

My experience, in the integration of security architecture this piece, the competition between domestic manufacturers is greater than cooperation, distance from the foreign enterprises alliances the situation is still far away, not to mention what the ecological system, and a relatively complete security protection system is very need of such cooperation. and see how the domestic market break ice.
