Infonetics Research: DDoS Prevention Market Up 52% in 2011, Mobile Networks Deployments Driving Growth

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research today released a new DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook report, led by principal analyst for security Jeff Wilson.

Infonetics’ DDoS (distributed denial of service) report is the first in the industry to detail the market by deployment location, including vendor market share and revenue forecasts for DDoS prevention appliances deployed to protect enterprise and carrier data centers, mobile networks, carrier transport and wired broadband networks, and government networks.

ANALYST NOTE

“Without a doubt, the number-one driver for the DDoS prevention market is the attacks themselves. From the Iranian elections, to Wikileaks and the Anonymous army attacking anything with a whirring fan, DDoS attacks have been big news for the last two years. The rise of botnets and easy-to-use tools (like LOIC) for launching attacks means that there are more DDoS attacks pushing greater volumes of traffic, initiated by a wider variety of attackers than ever before. As a result, revenue for DDoS prevention appliances is growing fast, particularly in the mobile network segment, which will see the most explosive growth as it rides the compound wave of a transition to IP and data, massive increases in capacity, and a new role as a juicy and highly visible target for attacks,” expects Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research.

DDoS MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• Global revenue for DDoS prevention solutions will end the 2011 year up 52% compared to 2010
• Combined, all segments of the DDoS prevention appliance market are forecast by Infonetics Research to grow at a 23% compound annual growth rate during the five years from 2010 to 2015; mobile leads with a 42% CAGR

• Currently, traditional carrier transport networks make up the largest segment of the DDoS prevention appliance market in terms of global revenue
