Southeast Asia Intrusion Detection Market 2014-2018: Leading Vendors are Bosch, Check Point Software Technologies, Fortinet & Honeywell Security Group
M2 - Tue Sep 23, 10:43AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sk8hbp/intrusion) has announced the addition of the "Intrusion Detection Market in Southeast Asia 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Intrusion Detection market in Southeast Asia to grow at a CAGR of 16.7% over the period 2013-2018 Depending on the type of resources being protected, the system can be classified into many types. The two most prominent intrusion detection systems are protocol-based intrusion detection system (PIDS) and network intrusion detection system (NIDS). PIDS detects intrusion at the infrastructure level, while NIDS detects intrusion at the network level. PIDS often works in conjunction with other physical security systems such as access control and video surveillance. NIDS supposedly monitor for internal and external hacks. One of the key trends emerging in the market is the adoption of Physical Intrusion Detection Systems among small and medium businesses. As SMBs continually grow in the market, these are increasingly wary of the potential threats that can be caused to the physical properties and, hence, are steadily increasing physical security investments. According to the report, a major factor driving the market growth is favorable macroeconomic conditions. Conditions such as a young population and low cost of raw materials available improve the possibility of increased sales in the region, through increased consumption of goods and services. Hence, organizations are ramping up strategies and building physical presence, which will help increase sales of PIDS, as these organizations realize that physical security is inevitable. Further, the report states that increasing adoption of integrated solutions is one key challenge that the market faces. The innovative all-in-one packaged solutions generate greater cost efficiencies in terms of usability and deployment, thus giving major competition for products such as Network Intrusion Detection Systems.
