Infonetics Research: Juniper Networks Is Second-Largest Network Security Vendor

Infonetics Research Inc.’s recent report titled "Network Security Appliances and Software Quarterly Worldwide Market Share and Forecasts for 2Q06" has declared Juniper Networks the second largest security vendor in the industry by worldwide revenue.

This feat has drawn accolades from Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for VPNs and security at Infonetics Research, "The number two position in overall worldwide network security is a great achievement for Juniper Networks, augmenting the company’s leadership position in the SSL VPN and high-end firewall markets".

According to the report, Juniper Networks garnered 10 percent worldwide revenue market share based on all security product categories during the second quarter of 2006, while also showing growth within the major product categories in which it participates. The same report recognized Juniper Networks as the leader in the worldwide high-end firewall and virtual private network (FW/VPN) product category (greater than or equal to USD 30,000 price band), with 35 percent revenue market share during 2Q06.

Juniper was also recognized again as the overall worldwide market share leader in the SSL VPN market with 27 percent revenue market share. Juniper has been the SSL VPN market share leader since the inception of the market category. A key factor of Juniper Networks success with customers is the integration of the company’s IDP intrusion prevention functionality into the ISG.
