A Frost & Sullivan report forecasts that the global revenue for network security sandboxing tools will grow from $536.8 million in 2014 to $3.5 billion by 2019.
Frank Dickson, a research director at Frost & Sullivan and the market analysis report’s author, said the emergence of advanced persistent threats creates a need for organizations to adopt a behavioral method to detect malware.
He defines network security sandbox as a virtualized computing environment that can automatically observe, note and analyze a suspicious program.
FireEye accounted for nearly two-thirds, or 62 percent, of the market share during 2014, the report states.
Dickson also found that many technology companies have updated their security platforms to include a sandboxing mechanism.
