TechNavio today launched its report Global Secure Web Gateway Market 2011-2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s IT Security team said; ”Vendors in the Global Secure Web Gateway (SWG) market are providing various deployment options such as software, hardware, and SWG-as-a-service. The Hardware segment dominates the market. However, the increasing severity of security threats has led vendors to offer SWG-as-a-service. This helps them to update the product automatically and to dynamically identify and respond to cyber threats. Moreover, SWG-as-a-service has several advantages such as low initial investment and low administration costs. Therefore, the increasing popularity of SWG-as-a-service is one of the major drivers in the market.”
According to the report, employees in large enterprises and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly becoming mobile due to changing business requirements. With an increasing mobile workforce, the demand for data security is also increasing. SWG vendors are developing several products to safeguard data and to allow hassle-free access to company networks and data. To provide enhanced security, SWG vendors are providing an agent or agent-less approach to redirect web traffic from laptops or PCs to a cloud-based SWG service. Cloud-based SWG solutions scan web traffic to filter and protect the network from security threats.
Further, the report also discusses that the rising complexity of security threats has remained a challenge for the Global SWG market.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
