Consumers today are just now beginning to accept the benefits of always-on, high-speed Internet access as availability of these services reaches beyond the initial adopters. As service providers make these services widely available and consumers subscribe at impressive numbers, the realization that some level of baseline security is needed to protect against the potential dangers of a public network are only beginning to sink in for most consumers. Cahners In-Stat Group believes that Internet security, particularly broadband Internet security, will see high levels of adoption over the next few years. The need for intrusion protection against unapproved PC and network access, as well as a greater need for virus and privacy protection, will fuel end user demand for these products, as well as continued vendor innovation.
