The Long Tail of Risk and the Dynamics of the Security Market

Overview In this overview, Principal Analyst Bob Blakley reviews five years of acquisitions in the security market and explains the dynamics which drive innovation and acquisition in that market. The security market is not driven solely by customer demand and vendor profit. ItÃ¢Â€Â™s also driven by the innovation of the Ã¢Â€Âœbad guys,Ã¢Â€Â which in turn drives the security market to continually develop new offerings to meet new threats. The security market will therefore remain for the foreseeable future in a steady state which is Ã¢Â€Âœalways consolidating but never consolidated.Ã¢Â€Â
