A new study has shown how the market for network security equipment grew
in the first quarter of this year, with Cisco benefiting.
According to research by International Data Corporation (IDC), revenues
for the Western European security appliance market reached $399.5
million, up 0.8 per cent on the same period 12 months previously.
Meanwhile, within the market, Cisco saw its share of revenues increase
from 22.8 per cent to 24.1 per cent
Romain Fouchereau, research analyst at IDC, said: "This quarter shows
the first positive growth in the total security appliance market since
the first quarter of 2009. The economic downturn mainly affected the
market in the second and third quarters of 2009 with a rebound already
noticeable in the fourth quarter.
"The resumed positive growth this quarter derived solely from the two
largest segments, UTM and content management appliances, whereas the
other security appliance functions still reported disappointing
results."
Cisco currently offers security appliances and solutions to businesses
of all sizes, along with its switch options.
