Description
The presence of vulnerabilities in components that are used in both corporate and consumer environments is worrisome. Between July 1, 2003, and December 31, 2003, 13 vulnerabilities that affect both corporate and consumer versions of Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft operating systems are designed for both corporate and consumer environments. Microsoft enterprise and client operating systems share common features and code. Development, maintenance, and support for these systems is more efficient.
It also means that vulnerabilities in shared components affect all environments that use those components. Microsoft DCOM RPC Interface buffer overflow vulnerability is a significant issue. Windows 2000 and Windows XP are vulnerable to this threat.
Exploitation of both corporate and consumer environments contributed to the proliferation of Blaster and Welchia. Corporate environments tend to be more immune to infection, due to the use of firewalls. E-mails generated by the selfcontained engine of malicious code do not interact with the user email system. There are few signs of an active infection. Antivirus programs have heuristicsbased detection that can resist these types of threats.
During the second half of 2003, threats to privacy and confidentiality were the fastest growing threat. There was a 519 percent growth in volume of submissions within the top 10 malicious code submissions compared to the first half of the year.
The key goal of antivirus vendors is to continue to grow the anti-virus and intrusion prevention (content security) business faster than the Internet security industry. A focus in the corporate segment is on regional opportunity in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Security as a service business and web sales has a global focus. Marketing campaigns continue to promote content security..
AntiVirus market forecasts indicate continued market growth. Channel is significant for consumer markets, and network evolution is significant for corporate markets. Markets at $2.6 billion in 2003 are expected to reach $9.4 billion by 2009.

Palo Alto, CA - March 24, 2004 - The latest study by the Radicati Group, Inc. "Anti-Spam Market Trends 2004 - 2008" provides market size, four-year forecasts, technology trends, emerging legislation, industry standards, and competitive information for the Anti-Spam market.
According to the study, the number of spam messages worldwide has grown an astonishing 115% from 15 billion in 2003, to 35 billion spam messages in 2004
Despite recent legislation, such as the US federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, corporate organizations and consumers are investing more than ever in anti-spam technology. The market for anti-spam solutions (including both anti-spam vendors and anti-spam outsourcers) is expected to top $979 million in 2004, an increase of over 50% from 2003. The market is expected to grow to over $1,740 million by 2008.
In many cases, both corporate and consumer mailboxes are protected by more than one anti-spam solution, with a typical mailbox including 2-3 layers of ant i-spam filtering technologies. By year-end 2004, we expect 55% of all active mailboxes to have deployed an anti-spam solution.
According to our research, SPIM (IM Spam) will triple from 400 million messages in 2003 to 1.2 billion messages in 2004 as a result of a growing number of corporate and consumer IM users and a sharp increase in published IM names in corporate and public directories.
Overall, the anti-spam market is ready for consolidation as the market continues to transition from single solution providers to broader, more comprehensive security platforms.

То есть из всего сектора IT безпасности только 10миллиардов на антивирусы и 1.2миллиарда антиспам. Вы что хотите оставить Касперского без работы? За прикрытие рынка в 12миллиардов не то что бошку можно прострелить, а целу гуманитарную операцию сделать. Причём рынок то растёт бешеными темпами. Вы представляете как обрушатся котировки на NASDAQ если вдруг не станет СПАМа и Вирусов?
