"Security products remain a growing industry as threats continue to plague companies. Over the past year the threat landscape has increased, leading to growth globally as no country is free from attacks," said Elizabeth Corr, Research Analyst, Security Products at IDC. "This growth is reflected in the top 5 vendors growing a combined 9.4% year over year."
