Infonetics Research: Smaller Vendors Driving Growth in the NAC Appliance Market

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research today released excerpts from the November edition of its biannual NAC Enforcement Appliances report, which tracks and forecasts the network access control appliance market.

ANALYST NOTE

“Cisco, historically the driving force behind the NAC enforcement market, had a weak first half of 2011 for security overall. However, as expected, they’re already seeing stronger security performance in the second half of 2011, so we know the back half of the year will be better for NAC appliances. Cisco is the clear market leader; however, smaller vendors like Avenda (just acquired by Aruba Networks), ForeScout, and Bradford drove the growth we did see in the first half of the year,” notes Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics Research.

NAC MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• In 2Q11, worldwide NAC enforcement appliance revenue grew 8% over 1Q11
• Infonetics forecasts the global NAC enforcement appliance market to reach $362.6 million
• While there is not less demand for the protection NAC technology provides, there is decreasing demand for NAC as a standalone solution
• North America makes up over half of the world’s NAC enforcement appliance revenue, followed by Asia Pacific
