Internet Security’s Stake Grows In The Technological Industry
Whether it is the consumer, a small business, a major enterprise or even the government, cyber security has become a major priority. As the line between personal and corporate usage merges, cyber criminals are having a heyday as a result of loopholes in internet security.
A recent study conducted by analysts indicates that while some areas may have suffered, network/cyber security enterprises are making solid progress. The likely reasons for this is improved stock performance and innovative solutions. And the interesting thing to note is that security companies haven’t geared all their efforts towards enterprise level security, but have also kept consumer security in mind.
So, which companies have been dominating the cyber security ecosphere in 2013?
Here are a few:
1. Trend Micro Security
When it comes to Internet protection for domestic users, Trend Micro Security’s Titanium Internet Security package allows consumers to pick from 5 different options depending on their budgets and needs. Apart from PC and Mac, consumers can also ensure that their smartphones are secured against web based attacks.
Some offerings by the company also optimize the system in use and add 5 to 25 GB of cloud storage. Consumers also get a free trial of 30-days, which is a bonus feature considering most companies limit free trials to a week or two.
2. Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
The success model of Check Point is built on its niche approach. It offers mobile data protection products that specialize in holistic cyber security. Its intrusion detection technology is revered and considered tailor-made for business data.
The Leader Quadrant of Gartner is a metric for cyber security companies; for the 7th straight year, Check Point has been named a leader in the quadrant.
3. Fortinet Inc.
Perhaps the most diverse of the lot, Fortinet has provided firewall based protection for wide range of customers such as data centers, data service providers, cloud providers/carriers and even domestic use.
It has been prominent in the technology sector since it is the first cyber security company to provide a firewall throughput of 100 Gbps and 40 GbE ports in compact appliance – a major achievement.
4. Cicso Systems Inc.
Cisco is considered as household name within the cyber security arena. It is known for its effective technology and major business moves. For instance, it recently acquired Sourcefire Inc.
Based on technology, it has now one of most advanced threat protection portfolios in the market. Not only the threat protection measure, but also the enforcement/remediation applications offered by Cisco are standard in the industry because of their integrated, continuous and open nature.
5. Imperva Inc.
Imperva is now a major player in the market because of its Secure Sphere Data Security Suite. It is one of the few in the cyber security arena that provide regulatory compliance apart from protecting high value data.
The suite also has high value features, such as database security products, that would protect corporate data using structured repositories.
Dominance in the Market
This overview of major players in the cyber security market shows that these companies are succeeding in the technology sector. Two things are promoting the growth – the explosion in data and the demand for improved protection.
Since a large number of consumers and businesses rely daily on the Internet, cyber security takes precedence in the technology market. The stock market trend also verifies this claim, with security companies becoming a point of interest for investors.
