Japan IT Security Product Market Share, 1H24: The Growing SaaS Security Market

This IDC study analyzes vendor share and vendor trends in the Japan information security product market in 1H24. Also, in this period, the Japan information security product market saw growth in both the security software and security appliance markets as companies and organizations are asked to strengthen their security measures against the relentless cyberattacks. Looking at vendor share, the information security product market covers a very broad range of areas and is highly specialized, reflecting the market's characteristics; it is an extremely long-tail market, with only two vendors with a share of four points or more."The number of security tools being introduced continues to increase, and the tools are also becoming more difficult and complex, making it increasingly difficult for a company to perform efficient security operations on its own. Information security product vendors and systems integrators should support their customers' security operations with both technology and consulting/support services," says Kenichi Akama, research manager, Infrastructure and Devices, IDC Japan.This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ50704524.
