Research and Markets: Global Threat Intelligence Security Market 2014-2018 - Market Leaders are IBM, McAfee, Symantec & Trend Micro


DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4k8mgs/global_threat) has announced the addition of the "Global Threat Intelligence Security Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The Global Threat Intelligence Security Market to grow at a CAGR of 14.2% over the period 2013-2018.

Threat intelligence is a security service given by security vendors to thwart advanced attacks such as APT (News - Alert), advanced malware, and other new breeds of sophisticated threats that have unknown signatures and are slow and adaptive.

These new breeds of cyber-attacks are immune to traditional security solutions and hence the need for a proactive, intelligent system to prevent attacks. Threat intelligence service is largely given as a service through cloud by vendors that range from ICT vendors, security vendors, andMSSP providers. The service offerings typically are of three types: TIS Managed Security Services, TIS Information Feeds and Publications, and TIS Consultative Services.



As the number of cyber-attacks continue to increase, the level of awareness in organizations across geographies also rises. As organizations realize that in-house security teams are not competent enough, considering the level of sophistication in attacks by hackers, this leads to increased look-up to vendors that give solutions not only just to detect but also prevent any possible attack.

An enhancement in threat intelligence is one of the positive trends acting on the market. Continuous enhancements and new mechanisms that look to study the nature of past attacks will greatly benefit end-users as it can significantly reduce the number of false negatives.


According to the report, growing sophisticated threats are one the most prominent drivers acting on the market. As hacking tools are freely available on the internet and knowledge of hacking is shared and transferred, the attacks become increasingly advanced and more immune to the available network security solutions, which has led customer organizations to look for solutions such as threat intelligence that have the capability to prevent such advanced attacks.

Further, the report states that shortage of security talent is one major challenge that the market is facing. The competition is intense among organizations looking to hire talent so as to continuously innovate the product offerings. An immense shortage of talent will therefore have a negative bearing on the market, especially with attacks becoming increasingly advanced.
