Global Network and Application Security Testing Market

An Overview of Emerging Trends and Growth Opportunities For Test

Solution Vendors

(2)

Executive Summary

• The global network security testing market generated revenue of $ million in 2012,

amounting to a growth of

percent over the previous year. On the other hand, the

global application security testing market generated revenue of $

million with a total

shipment of

thousand units in 2012.

• Going forward, there will be a sharp increase in the number of zero-day attacks targeted

at governments, large enterprises, and the banking and financial sectors. Industry experts

agree that the techniques hacktivists, members of organized crime, and government

spies use for espionage are gaining in sophistication.

• In recent years, numerous high-profile security breaches and sophisticated attacks have

greatly increased awareness of security concerns. These attacks indicate a shift in

attacker profiles and have spiked security awareness.

• Today, attackers have the resources and know-how to string together zero-day attacks to

work their way from the Internet into databases or process controls. Governments and

businesses are rapidly adopting the latest security testing methodology to harden

systems against Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) attacks.

Market Overview—Definitions

With a rapid increase in the evolution and adoption of new technologies, new security threats and vulnerabilities are emerging faster than ever before. The general awareness of security attacks and of the importance of security testing has grown significantly over the past decade. Security test solutions are used to find vulnerability or flaws in the network, application, or operating platforms that could

potentially be exploited by attackers or hackers in order to cause business disruption, data leakage, or a threat of any other kind.

Most businesses worldwide have employed some kind of security solution in order to prevent data or revenue loss due to internal or external attacks. As hackers and cybercrime groups continue to exploit the existing system and manage to find new ways of initiating attacks, the importance of using

advanced test methodologies to detect and manage zero-day attacks and vulnerabilities becomes critical.

At this point in time, network security is not tied closely with enterprises and government organizations. This circumstance will change, as we expect consolidation to take place, which will make security a third pillar of computing. In light of the current situation, cyber security cannot be separated from business operations.
