According to the survey, factory revenues for security appliances totaled $333 million, marking an increase of $30 million from the second quarter 2002 to the second quarter 2003. The survey also found that the intrusion detection market experienced 29.2 percent growth and the firewall/virtual private network (VPN) security appliance market increased 7.5 percent over the same year over year period.
"In contrast to statements that intrusion detection software is dead, the growth in intrusion detection appliances show that many organizations still see the value in monitoring their networks," said Charles Kolodgy, research director for IDC's security products service. "Not surprisingly, the intrusion detection appliance market has been growing as many more intrusion detection software appliances are available compared to a year ago."
