By : Sharath Kumar |June 12, 2014 0CAMPBELL, USA:Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its latest DDoS Prevention Appliances report, which tracks distributed denial of service (DDoS) vendors and analyzes and forecasts DDoS appliances built to protect enterprises and carriers.
DDOS SECURITY ANALYST NOTE
“Buyers need protection from a new wave of sophisticated application layer attacks and massive amplification attacks, and we’re seeing renewed focus on DDoS mitigation from a wide range of established data center and security players like Check Point, Fortinet, Juniper, F5, and Huawei,” notes Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research. “Arbor Networks maintains a strong leadership position in the DDoS mitigation space despite having a wide range of challengers, from focused product vendors in adjacent markets to large established networking and security vendors.”
DDOS PREVENTION MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

o Sequentially, 1Q14 revenue was flat, totaling $91.5 million
. North America comprised the majority of DDoS prevention appliance revenue in 1Q14, followed by EMEA, Asia Pacific, and the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA)
. Consolidation and new product announcements continue, with F5 picking up cloud provider Defense.net, and ADC vendor A10 launching a new line of DDoS mitigation appliances
. The data center and mobile DDoS prevention segments are projected to maintain healthy double-digit CAGRs from 2013-2018
