Abstract

This IDC study provides an overview of 2009 M&A deals in the IT security industry and the different business, financial, and technology trends affecting M&A activities. It also analyzes industry and market dynamics driving current and future acquisitions in the different IT security markets.

"As recession begins to fade, large IT vendors are regaining their appetite for M&As. Security is one of the IT markets where M&A activity is likely to pick up in 2010 and beyond. We believe that the large IT vendors will be shopping for security companies to fill in portfolio gaps, especially in areas such as cloud computing and mobile computing." — Dan Yachin, research director, IDC EMEA Emerging Technologies
