Industry views: Who's stealing your brand name?

It has been estimated that there are US$50 billion of illegal counterfeit and gray market goods sold on the internet annually and with the amazing growth in popularity of online auction sites and business-to-business (B2B) exchanges, all indications are that this trend is going to get worse before it gets better.

Industry views: Encryption certainly not going anywhere

No one questions that email is universally adopted. It is in the mainstream. And despite the huge advantages of personal and corporate productivity, the open nature of the internet has made email vulnerable to interception and even alteration by malicious parties. As the risks to the privacy and security of email messaging have grown, so have efforts to protect it.

Industry Views: Wireless, compliance two drivers of strong investment in IT security

Industry Views: Wireless, compliance two drivers of strong investment in IT security

Security remains a key growth area for venture capital investment and shows no sign of slowing down. Although the IPO market may be weak (as it is for nearly all categories of venture investment), mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are on the rise. And many new security companies are being created. Think about these compelling statistics:

Industry Views: Investment opportunities will remain in security even if glare of terror threat fades

Industry Views: Investment opportunities will remain in security even if glare of terror threat fades

While it may not always be politic to point out, the genius of markets lies in their ability to generate value in the aftermath of even the most horrific tragedies. In the wake of 9/11, for example, the security sector became - almost overnight - a productive and patriotic destination for venture and other forms of capital. Even while the sector's "15 minutes" appear to be ticking toward a close, relatively constant market dynamics within the security space ensure that opportunities will continue to abound for those who know where to look for them.

Industry views: What's consolidation doing to development?

Industry views: What's consolidation doing to development?

With the recent announcement that EMC will be buying RSA Security, it is clear that the consolidation wave is rolling through the identity authentication and management space. This wave probably began in December of 2005 when RSA bought Cyota, but while that deal could be viewed as a one-off acquisition of a private company by a much larger public company, this $2 billion acquisition signals the start of real changes to come.

Industry views: Look for more spending on convergence, insider threats

Industry views: Look for more spending on convergence, insider threats

The speed of change in IT security is intense and often seemingly chaotic. Security solutions today must constantly morph to reflect not only the shifting needs of customers, but also the advancing capabilities of security threats. The proliferation and progression of DoS attacks and phishing sites, to name a few, demand new means to detect and block criminals. Senior executives, meanwhile, want simplicity and better command and control over the many security solutions they implement. Despite this ever-changing landscape, there are, however, a number of general trends that, from our view as investors, are likely to organize and drive development of IT security products and services over the near and intermediate term.

Industry evolution

There is no denying the IT security market is alive and well. Depending on who you ask, between 400 and 1,500 security companies are in business worldwide, offering solutions ranging from anti-virus software to network access control appliances to consulting services. This, of course, should come as no surprise — especially when one considers enterprises are spending more money than ever before to meet compliance requirements and to defend against sophisticated and targeted attacks that could lead to embarrassing, costly breaches.
