BALANCING AN OPEN CULTURE WITH IT SECURITY IN THE EDUCATION MARKET (MARKET FOCUS) 8

Summary 8

Security is the primary IT concern of most education providers 8

In a recent Datamonitor survey European universities put security ahead of all other concerns 9

The Datamonitor's Technology Trends survey showed security as the most mentioned investment priority 9

New functionality and compliance will drive security uptake 10

Regulations designed to protect students necessitate controlling web access 10

Both regulation and public scandal have forced institutions to take securing student data more seriously 11

Malicious threats can come from without and within an HEI's 12

The need to provide services outside the firewall creates new security headaches 12

HEIs in particular need help to cope with a heterogeneous environment 13

The need to maintain relative freedom in HEIs creates opportunities for vendors 13

Ignorance and tight budgets will continue to restrain security spending 13

Overall IT budgets remain stubbornly low and necessitate cost efficient solutions 14

A fragmented structure limits the demand for enterprise systems 14

A lack of well-informed staff in schools or departments makes purchasing the most apt solutions difficult 14

HEIs will focus on securing data while primary and secondary schools focus on filtering 15

The contrast in attitudes to access between levels of education is massive 16

The activities of academic staff also generate very different security problems 17

The scale of back office activities differs both by level of education and geography 18

Managed and shared services offer opportunities in decentralized schools 19

Decentralization of decision making has been a trend in primary and secondary around the globe 19

Large school groups will be the key target for secure content management within this segment 20

Managed and shared services present a way for individual schools to access enterprise security features 21

Balancing freedom with security while enabling new services will drive growth in HEIs 21

Wireless LAN continues to generate security concerns 21

Demand for remote access for staff and students will help to stimulate investment 21

Need for free access should stimulate investment in more sophisticated solutions 21

TOWARDS AN EDUCATION-SPECIFIC SECURITY SOLUTION (TECHNOLOGY FOCUS) 23

Summary 23

Secure content management and identity and access management stand out in importance 23

IDm will be particularly vital to the higher levels of education and larger institutions 24

Secure content management will be the primary concern of in the education of younger students 25

Firewall and VPN solutions will remain important at all levels but particularly for offsite access in HEIs 26

More advanced security solutions will be less popular in education than in other sectors 27

Education will show strong demand for security appliance consolidation 27

Low budgets and lack of trained personnel will help to drive demand for different product combinations 27

Education institutions stand to benefit from three forms of solution consolidation 28

North America will continue to dominate while all regions display strong growth 30

All regions and levels in education will see strong growth 30

Europe will see faster growth in HEIs in contrast to North America 31

Growth in individual applications matches the priorities of the different levels of education 32

IDm will remain the largest segment while security and vulnerability management grows fastest 32

HEIs and primary and secondary institutions will continue to display very different adoption patterns 33

Vendors should market appliances incorporating content filtering to lower education levels 34

Provisioning and other IDm should be offered to HEIs 34

A STRATEGIC SALES MODEL FOR SECURITY IN THE EDUCATION MARKET (STRATEGY FOCUS) 35

Summary 35

Vendors need to educate the educators about product possibilities 35

A high level of security concern in education does not mean a high level of understanding 35

Vendors need to display understanding of an institution's pain points 35

Product development needs to be explained in language educators will understand 36

The vendor's message to education must stay out of the technology weeds 37

Success requires communicating with multiple audiences within education 37

Vendors should leverage a variety of information channels to educate the market about IT security 39

The "Microsoft effect" will determine which sales strategy will be effective 40

Moves by Microsoft have already had an effect on the entire IT security industry 40

The Microsoft effect will impact the primary and secondary sector most heavily 41

Vendors need to respond to the Microsoft Effect 42

The correct channel partners are vital to reaching education customers 43

Partners with education experience add vital credibility in this market 43

Partnership with institutions offers a channel to students 43

School districts may act as a channel partner for vendors to reach primary and secondary schools 45

The product message has must not get buried in technology issues 46

Vendors must be able to bring a diverse set of decision makers to the table 46

Vendors should consider alternative partnerships to capitalize on this opportunity 46
