By 2014, network-based security provision to the business "endpoint" will account for close to 20% of a $15.7bn market, says Juniper Research.
Protection for business laptops, desktops and mobile devices with anti-virus, encryption and firewalls will reach $16.4bn. Despite any move towards "endpoint solutions" (where IT staff manage the security remotely through the network), the need for encryption products will drive demand.
As devices become more mobile-- and more likely to carry sensitive company information, encryption should increase at a rate of 26% to $4.3bn in 2014, spurred largely by data protection legislation in US, Europe and Japan.
