Global DDoS Prevention Market 2014-2018: Leading Vendors are Akamai Technologies, Arbor Networks, Neustar & Radware
M2 - Fri Sep 19, 5:29AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qmfzmx/global_ddos) has announced the addition of the "Global DDoS Prevention Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global DDoS Prevention market to grow at a CAGR of 19.6% over the period 2013-2018 A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a network resource by making it unavailable to its intended users. A DDoS attack is significantly different from a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, since DDoS attacks use many computers and internet connections, often distributed globally, to what is called as the botnet. Three types of system resources will be targeted: computational resources (bandwidth and processor time), configuration information (routing information), and state information. A resource unavailability could result in huge losses to the enterprise in the form of lost information, funds, and reputation damage. Organizations across geographies are increasingly wary of sophisticated DDoS attacks and hence are spending more in implementing dedicated and integrated DDoS prevention solutions to safeguard its networks. The use of DDoS as a diversionary tactic is one of the key trends emerging in this market. DDoS attacks are introduced along with other serious attacks and are used as a distraction to divert the attention of the security team. According to the report, one significant driver in the market is the high demand for DDoS prevention solutions from mobile and data center verticals. As hackers increasingly target cellphones for DDoS attacks, mobile operators feel the need to enhance the security in the network layer. This need for enhanced security comes at a time when these operators are upgrading networks to 3G and 4G services. Further, the report states that the use of traditional solutions is one significant challenge in the market. Solutions such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems are not tailored to tackle DDoS attacks. These solutions cannot thwart the effective short intense targeted attacks and, therefore, pose a massive security threat in customer networks.
