Global Unified Threat Management Market Forecasts and Opportunities, 2018
M2 - Tue Aug 12, 3:51AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gv3fbf/global_unified) has announced the addition of the "Global Unified Threat Management Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Unified Threat Management market will grow at a CAGR of 16.52% to 2018 The demand for SaaS-based security solutions is increasing in the Global Network Security market because of the significant advantages that they offer. Currently, both SMEs and start-up companies choose SaaS-based solutions over on-premise solutions because of advantages such as easy installation, easy upgrades, cost advantages, and signature-independent scanning. Moreover, large enterprises are also diverting to SaaS-based (or hybrid) solutions. It is expected that such demand for SaaS-based solutions will allow the Global SaaS-based Security Solutions market to grow at a very strong rate during the forecast period. This is expected to propel the growth of the Global UTM market over the next few years. According to the report, the Global UTM market is driven by several factors, including the need for consolidation of security solutions. UTM solutions help companies address multiple security threats as they consolidate a number of security solutions into one module. This provides companies with advantages such as the ability to easily deploy and manage multiple network security devices, making it easy to deploy and manage UTM solutions. These factors have increased the demand for UTM solutions. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the adverse impact on network performance. Multi-functional devices used in network firewalls slow down network traffic because of multiple security rings, which eventually affect the network's performance. This will ultimately affect the revenue generated by market vendors during the forecast period.
