Palo Alto, CA – May 10, 2010 – The Radicati Group, Inc.’s latest study, “E-mail Security Market, 2010-2014,” offers an in-depth analysis of the market for E-mail Security. It provides market size, installed base and revenue market share by vendor, four-year forecasts, e-mail traffic statistics, spam and virus statistics, cost of spam and viruses, and more.

The study looks at four segments of the e-mail security market: E-mail Security Software, E-mail Security Appliances, Hosted E-mail Security Services, and E-mail Security for Service Providers. The study forecasts that the e-mail security market for segments combined will grow from over $5 billion in 2010, to more than $7 billion in 2014.

Despite improvements in anti-spam technology, about 18% of e-mail delivered to user inboxes is still spam, and this is expected to grow to 19% by 2014. Organizations poorly protected against e-mail threats pay a high price – in 2010, a typical 1,000-user organization spends over $3.2 million annually to manage spam.

The study includes a detailed analysis of the leading market players, including: Barracuda, CA, Cisco IronPort, Cloudmark, Commtouch, Engate, Fortinet, Google, Kaspersky Lab, M86, McAfee, Microsoft, Proofpoint, Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro,USA.NET, Webroot, Websense, and others.
