NEWS Firewall security was the fastest growing segment of the $5.1bn worldwide online security market last year according to a report from analysts IDC.
Although firewall security was the fastest growing segment with a 42 per cent growth rate, they will be superseded this year and for the next five by the three 'A's of authentication, authorisation and administration.
IDC predicts compound growth of 28 per cent a year reaching over $9.5bn by 2005 for 3A products, which in turn will help push total online security revenues to $14bn.
