In this IDC study, we analyze the landscape, characteristics and future direction of the market for security services provided by Japan carriers based on information gathered through interviews with leading carriers. Besides analyzing the market by security service segment, we also provide a market forecast for 2005–2010.

"The market for Japan carriers' security services is growing steadily amid rising numbers of security breaches and compliance needs. For service providers (SPs) such as carriers in Japan, to increase their profits in the future, it will be necessary for them to promote a shift from the SI-based model to the use of services. At the same time, they should beef up their end-point security services with a focus on information leak prevention solutions for which a rise in demand is anticipated," comments Akiko Kawakami, market analyst, Communications Group, IDC Japan.
