Security-as-a-service will be a bigger deal going forward, especially if the distinct groups are lumped together into a single category. Last month, Gartner released a report that said cloud-delivered security will have a “dramatic” impact. Service revenues in several segments — such as anti-malware, anti-spam and e-mail and IM protection — will more than triple from about 20 percent now to more than 60 percent by 2013. Part of that increase will be driven by the ability to deliver services in new ways and by new types of providers, Gartner says.
