Information Security Services: Cornerstone of Network Operation in the M-ICT Era

As cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile internet, and other new technologies are developing, information society is moving towards “mobile internet of everything.” Information technologies have changed and are profoundly changing the world we live in. In this context, high attention is paid to security and privacy, especially information and network security.

In the M-ICT era, communications networks are developing into IP-based ones, which accelerates the convergence of IT and CT networks and makes them more transparent but also more vulnerable to external viruses and hacks. The emerging mobile office and BYOD services have raised new security requirements. Virtualization, cloud computing, and data centers have also created new challenges to the communications networks. All these require higher-security products, and information security services are becoming increasingly important as well.

A study by the Internet Data Center (IDC) shows that the Chinese security service market is expected to reach RMB 6.5 billion by 2017, with a CAGR of 15.1%. According to Gartner, the global security service market will reach US$78.9 billion by 2017, with a CAGR of 12.07%. This market is growing stably.
