Infonetics report shows DDoS growing well

The US market research firm has just given out a taster of the results from its biannual survey of the DDoS marketplace

Buyers need protection from a new wave of sophisticated application layer attacks and massive amplification attacks, according to Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at market research firm, Infonetics Research.

The company has recently released excerpts from its latest DDoS Prevention Appliances report, which tracks distributed denial of service (DDoS) vendors and analyses and forecasts DDoS appliances built to protect enterprises and carriers. 

“We're seeing renewed focus on DDoS mitigation from a wide range of established data centre and security players like Check Point, Fortinet, Juniper, F5, and Huawei,” Wilson said.  “Arbor Networks maintains a strong leadership position in the DDoS mitigation space despite having a wide range of challengers, from focused product vendors in adjacent markets to large established networking and security vendors.”

The worldwide DDoS prevention appliance market closed 2013 in a strong position, reaching $348 million in revenue, an increase of 26 percent from the prior year. In the first quarter of 2014, however,  revenue was flat, totalling $91.5 million. North America comprised the majority of DDoS prevention appliance revenue in 1Q14, followed by EMEA, Asia Pacific, and the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA).

Consolidation and new product announcements continue, with F5 picking up cloud provider Defense.net, and ADC vendor A10 launching a new line of DDoS mitigation appliances.

The datacentre and mobile DDoS prevention segments are projected to maintain healthy double-digit CAGRs from 2013–2018.

Software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualisation (NFV) are pervasive trends in network and telecom infrastructure, and they will eventually touch all areas of security, including DDoS mitigation.

Infonetics’ biannual DDoS Report provides market size, vendor market share, forecasts through to 2018, analysis, and trends for DDoS prevention appliances by units, revenue, and deployment location (enterprise and carrier datacentres, government networks, carrier transport and wired broadband networks, and mobile networks).The vendors tracked include A10, Andrisoft, Arbor Networks, Corero, F5, Fortinet, GenieNRM, Huawei, Juniper, Narus, Radware, RioRey and others.
