Research and Markets: World Firewall Products Market - Evolution to Fourth Generation Firewalls


Dublin, May 27, 2010 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7272e2/world_firewall_pro) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "World Firewall Products Market - Evolution to Fourth Generation Firewalls" to their offering.



The firewall market has reached a late growth stage due to high market saturation. Slowed growth is also due in part to a lack of innovation and technological advancements. In response, companies such as Palo Alto Networks and Tech Mahindra are looking for ways to improve firewall functionality. This would allow firewalls to offer more value for customers by blocking new threats.

Firewall technologies are the oldest and most fundamental network security technology. As the primary method for defining and defending a network perimeter, firewall technology is highly ubiquitous but also very mature. Vendors have been integrating IPsec VPN functionality into their firewall products for many years now, and firewalls can include features such as deep packet inspection. Firewalls have relied on stateful packet inspection for many years now to filter network traffic, but vendors are beginning to offer new methodologies, such as filtering based on application or user identification.


This study will provide data and analysis pertinent to the world firewall products market for 2009 and forecasts for 2006 to 2016.
