PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - May 20, 2013) - The Radicati Group, Inc.'s latest study, "Corporate Web Security Market, 2013-2017," offers an in-depth analysis of the Corporate Web Security market. Web security is defined as any software, appliance, or hosted service that protects corporate users and networks from Web-based malware, enables organizations to control employee behavior on the Internet, and helps prevent data loss. 

The study provides market size, installed base and revenue market share by vendor, four-year forecasts, as well as detailed analysis of major players in the market, including Barracuda Networks, Blue Coat Systems, Cisco, Clearswift, McAfee, Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro, Trustwave, Webroot, Websense, and Zscaler.

A survey conducted by The Radicati Group in 2013 revealed that, on average, business users experience 3.9 infections per year and each incident takes two hours and 48 minutes to clean up. Dealing with this influx of malware translates into huge costs for corporate organizations, averaging $1,400 per user per year assuming a 1,000 user organization.

According to the study, worldwide revenues for Corporate Web Security vendors and hosted providers are expected to reach over $1.6 billion in 2013, and grow to over $2.6 billion by 2017.
