As the threat landscape continues to baffle and overwhelm the IT organization, security services transform global service delivery models and professional security services. This is increasingly driven by enterprise board-level oversight, data and intellectual property protection, and compliance. IDC expects major market shifts as customers across all size segments shift to managed (customer premises equipment [CPE]) and cloud security services to meet their security requirements. As cloud services adoption moves from private to hybrid to public cloud, IT struggles to secure and manage anytime access to data everywhere. As enterprises merge, acquire, and partner, professional security consulting and integration services will grow as customers seek to improve internal security depth and operational efficiencies. IDC's Security Services research examines these areas and enterprise behavior causing these shifts as well as evaluations of security service vendors' competitive landscape, portfolio gaps, and vendor share.
