Spending on Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Networks (SSL VPN) will grow at a 53% compound annual growth rate, and SSL VPNs will surpass traditional IPsec VPNs as the de-facto remote access security standard by 2008, according to a new report from Forrester Research.<\/p>\n
In “SSL VPNs Poised for Significant Growth,” Forrester associate analyst Robert Whiteley says companies are attracted by the technology’s application-level simplicity.<\/p>\n
Unlike IPsec VPNs, which require special client software to access the network, SSL VPN supports a wide range of devices, from desktop computers to PDAs, and applications, while offering network administrators greater granularity of user information and providing better endpoint security.<\/p>\n
According to the report, some 44% of American businesses have deployed SSL VPNs, spending $97 million on the technology last year alone. Despite the impressive adoption rate for a technology that has been in the business mainstream for less than a year, Forrester expects SSL VPN deployments to continue to take off, with the market growing at a 53% compound annual growth rate to $1.2 billion in 2004.<\/p>\n
SSL VPNs are already well-entrenched in the financial and business services industries and in the public sector. Driven by the need to ensure endpoint security for online services, the financial services industry can boast a 56% penetration rate, with business services just behind at 51%.<\/p>\n
In both cases, Whiteley predicts a compound annual growth of 34% to 2010 which, though impressive, pales beside the expected SSL VPN growth in late-adopting industries. Indeed, Whiteley writes that retail and manufacturing are poised to leap into SSL VPN with gusto over the next few years.<\/p>\n
“Retail and wholesale allocates 7.8% of its IT spend to security — more than even financial services,” he notes.<\/p>\n
