Description

The APAC Secure Content Management (SCM) market grew by 16.5% in 2008 on a YoY basis, as uncertainties surrounding the global economic landscape dampened the growth momentum in the e-mail and web content filtering market segments. Nonetheless, the growing importance of both the e-mail and web medium in driving business operations nowadays meant that demand for e-mail and web security products continued to be robust, even in light of the weakened business climate. In particular, emerging economies such as China, India and those in ASEAN, all posted impressive YoY growth rates, signalling the growing commitment of enterprises in these countries to protect their e-mail and web gateway.
