IDC reports the emerging global predictive security (or threat intelligence) market is set to grow further-- from $198M in 2009 to $905M by 2014.
Fueling growth is the continually evolving threat of unknown, persistent, targeted and adaptive attacks pushing enterprise IT/security infrastructures to the limit.
The security services threat intelligence market consists of advanced security event monitoring and management technologies incorporating a number of threat-related information sources. However, as threats become more sophisticated, standard signature-based security tools (antivirus, firewalls and intrusion prevention) are only effective against 30-50% of attacks according to IDC.
Attackers are also widening their scopes-- targeting commercial SMBs offering high-value targets (such as financial information, IP and other proprietary data).
