The Convergence of Networking and Security in Europe

This IDC Market Perspective looks at the emerging convergence of networking and security. IDC research shows that enterprise network operators are increasingly looking toward their networking vendors for security solutions. In addition to the potential efficiencies of converging networking and security, there is also the potential to significantly reduce capital investment and operational costs."Just as European networking users are leading the way in adopting managed network services, there is also a rising trend in adopting integrated networking and security," said Len Padilla, senior research director, European Networking and Life-Cycle Services. "As this trend continues to grow in adoption, vendors and network service providers should take note and promote products, systems, and services with converged networking and security at their core."
