My Market Vision-Shekar Nair

face="Times New Roman, serif">Visibility
of actual network activity and security awareness is quite low. The
Indian market is getting more mature, especially in distributed
enterprises which are realizing
the need to effectively secure all their branches and not just their
headquarters or datacenters. We are focusing on bringing security
with manageability to all these distributed enterprises, because
without
manageability, there is no lasting security. Elina's flagship product
is the ENPAQ Unified Network Gateway addresses holistically the
distributed enterprise challenges of business continuity and
visibility

three main product modules network security, network visibility and
network continuity together help in securing the network. We believe
that without visibility there can be no security. The current trends
in this space are more user and application awareness, deeper levels
of inspection to understand the traffic patterns, better visibility
to bring these up in the reports. And at the base there is a constant
fight against newer threats and vulnerabilities. The growth of this
market has been pretty healthy as more and more enterprises want to
protect applications and users from hackers, viruses and other
vulnerabilities. We
continue to improve on the network security module including more
advanced functionality, tighter
integration with other security services and user level restrictions.
As companies expand, they face increasing threats. The need for
network security across the entire network instead of being just in
one or two places is driving our business. Most verticals have their
own early adopters of network security just as in any other emerging
technology. It is important to note that the general adoption by a
vertical is directly related to the pain of any such vulnerability to
its business both in identifying the vulnerability and coping with
the loss caused by such vulnerability. In this regard, verticals such
as BFSI adopt security as a basic need. Growth
of this market has been pretty healthy with double digit figures as
more and more enterprises
want to protect applications and users from hackers, viruses and
other vulner style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">abilities. size="3"> style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">
We continue to protect our customers and therefore provide the
overall market with practical and cost-effective means of securing
their users, data and applications.Most
CIOs secure their IDC or HQ well, but fail to do so in the branches.
As businesses continue to grow and become more and more dependent on
e-commerce and online transactions, I see the need for network
security to grow. Having practical and easy to use solutions that are
not adding further complexity and cost to the IT administrator will
be a key in the adoption curve for network security.
