"As organizations move toward cloud platforms and SaaS delivery mechanisms, we believe that the same security infrastructure and GRC capabilities offered by identity and access management technologies will be extended to these next-generation computing platforms," said Sally Hudson, research director, Identity and Access Management, at IDC. "IAM technologies will play a central role in offering security and compliance to cloud environments."

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222109http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222109This IDC study provides IDC's top 10 predictions for security products in 2010. Security products markets include endpoint, messaging, network, Web, security and vulnerability management (SVM), and identity and access management (IAM). All security products run on the following platforms: software, hardware, software as a services (SaaS), and virtualization. The research also focused on corporate and consumer customers. In 2010, we will continue to see prevailing trends (movement from software to appliances and decay of market/products to feature in both security and nonsecurity IT products). As noted in the trends discussed in the top 10 predictions, however, we are also seeing considerable movement from security software to SaaS, especially for messaging and Web security. As for hardware appliances, we are seeing very early indication of movement from hardware appliances to virtualized platforms. We expect to see significant acceleration in this trend at the enterprise level, especially in companies where server consolidation is already a major initiative. From this document's predictions, IDC's security products research team believes key market drivers in 2010 will focus on the interrelated issue technologies of SaaS, cloud, virtualization, and mobile. "Customers demand flexible security platforms to meet rising challenges from threats, budgets, and regulations," said Christian Christiansen, program vice president, Security Products and Services at IDC. "In 2010, customers' key challenge will be reconciling flexible security solutions against the risk of too many security choices."

IDC's Social Business Survey confirmed that consumer social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn continue to dominate business use, although the gap between consumer and corporate-sponsored social networks has narrowed in the past nine months. This survey also showed that the use of social media has penetrated deeper into U.S. organizations, with executive managers and IT leveraging these tools for business as well as line-of-business workers. "Of the more than 4,700 U.S. workers we surveyed, 57% currently leverage social media for business purposes at least once a week," said Caroline Dangson, IDC research analyst, Enterprise Collaboration and Social Solutions program. "This survey illustrates that social media is becoming mainstream in the business world just as it has in the consumer world."
