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.

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
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.
