DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rpfv5n/it_security) has announced the addition of the "Japan IT Security Market Report 2014-2018: Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco Systems, Fortinet, Juniper Networks, McAfee, Symantec & Trend Micro Lead the Way" report to their offering.

One of the major drivers is the need to improve the quality of protection. As the frequency of attacks is increasing, organizations are increasingly implementing IT security solutions that efficiently monitor and provide enhanced protection. The quality of protection can also be enhanced by outsourcing security responsibilities to service providers that have core expertise in this field. Hence, more end-users are adopting IT security services, a trend that is supporting the growth of the IT Security market in Japan.

One of the major trends witnessed in the market is the growing demand for cloud-based security solutions. The demand for cloud-based security solutions is increasing in the IT Security market in Japan, primarily because of the significant advantages provided by such solutions. Companies also find it difficult to manage standalone or integrated network components because of issues such as budget constraints and the lack of resources and expertise available to address security issues. Hence, companies are increasingly opting for cloud-based IT security solutions that are cost-effective, comply with PCI DSS, and offer round-the-clock monitoring of systems. Therefore, the increasing demand for cloud-based solutions is expected to contribute to the growth of the IT Security market in Japan during the forecast period.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced by the vendors in the market is the high cost of implementation. Despite the potential benefits provided by IT solutions, certain organizations refrain from investing in such solutions owing to their high costs. Certain hidden costs are also involved in the maintenance of such solutions. Factors such as these discourage end-users from adopting these solutions, thereby affecting the growth of the IT Security market in Japan.
