Global Cloud Security Software Market 2010-2014

Analysts forecast the Global Cloud Security Software market to grow at a CAGR of 41.4 percent over the period 2010–2014. Some key factors contributing to this market growth are the growing use of cloud services for critical data storage and a spurt in cloud-specific attacks. The Global Cloud Security Software market has also been witnessing increasing partnerships between cloud service providers and security solution providers. However, some cloud service providers still believe that cloud security is end-users' responsibility and security is not a strong buying criteria for end-users; this could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

Key vendors dominating this market include Trend Micro Inc., McAfee Inc., CA Technologies, and Symplified Inc.
