Summary

This IDC study looks at the security software and appliance market in the Gulf States for 2007. The study covers vendor shares, major vertical segments contributing to security investments, current focus on security segment spending and forecasts on market growth through 2012.

"The Gulf States security appliance and software market will continue to grow aggressively in 2008. However, as the region's economies slow down in 2009 and 2010, this market is also expected to display slower growth. During the economic slowdown, IT security will remain one of the few IT areas in which companies will continue to invest, driven primarily by the need to respond to the increasing sophistication and frequency of the threat landscape and the necessity to install security systems that are stipulated by regulatory compliance measures. The curtailment of expansion plans and the diminishing volume of business will see companies invest in security solutions that better protect their current assets rather than in solutions that support the expansion of their operations. IDC expects this trend to lead to a gradual redistribution of security spending from security appliances to security software." - Research Analyst Megha Kumar, IDC MEA
