Market Overview—Definitions
• A mobile VPN is a VPN with specific features designed to provide secure connectivity and
persistence over wireless networks. While other technologies, such as mobile Internet protocol
(IP), IPSec, or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs, provide similar functionality, mobile VPNs unify
persistence and security features into a single product built for wireless coverage.
• A mobile VPN allows devices to work across a variety of public or private networks, wired or
wireless. These networks include wired local area networks (LAN), Wi-Fi networks, hotspots, and
many varieties of wireless wide area networks (WANs) provided by different wireless carriers and
satellite networks.
• A mobile VPN solution may also include additional reporting, management, and control features.
Frost & Sullivan also sees many traditional network access control (NAC) vendors partnering with
vendors in this space, and some mobile VPN vendors have developed their own NAC solutions.
• Frost & Sullivan requires the following features to be present in a mobile VPN solution for
inclusion in this study:
o Session Persistence - Traditional VPN users lose connectivity once they roam into different
wireless networks, whereas mobile VPN users do not. The virtual IP address for each
mobile VPN client remains the same, even when the IP address changes. The network
connection is always on through a persistent IP address.
Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis.
12. 12<N9B3-74>
Market Overview –Definitions (continued)
• Application persistence - As mobile VPNs pass through different networks, the application
sessions are sustained, even when connectivity is lost.
• Traditional VPNs lose application sessions, which causes data loss and forces users to restart
applications.
• Network transparency - When switching networks, the mobile VPN is transparent to the user and
does not compromise security or privacy. The application interface remains the same.
• Bandwidth optimization - Mobile VPNs use a variety of optimization features to reduce network
consumption and to lower bandwidth constraints thus lowering costs for organizations.

19. 19<N9B3-74>
Drivers Explained
• Increase in advanced and complex threats drives demand for Mobile VPN solutions in
order to address security on wireless devices
o The Internet has become a universal platform for conducting business. As a
result, attackers have zeroed in on the Internet for conducting theft and fraud.
Mobile devices are not immune from this trend and both consumers and
organizations are looking for products to secure transactions conducted on
Internet from outside the organization.
o Even though mobility allows workers to demonstrate improved productivity,
organizations have become increasingly concerned with hackers accessing
corporate networks by posing as remote employees. Cybercriminals have shown
they can easily take advantage of users connecting through hot spots or through
unsecured connections, and organizations have little defense against these kinds
of attacks.
o Hackers are constantly looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit, and enterprises
need to be prepared for these zero-day attacks. Using encrypted sessions and
enforcing organizational policies on the mobile endpoint will help to prevent these
attacks.
Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis.
20. 20<N9B3-74>
Drivers Explained (continued)
• Explosion of mobile and wireless devices within organizations drives the
demand for mobile VPN solutions
o Lowered prices and higher speeds for mobile Internet drive mobile devices
into the hands of businesses and consumers.
o Organizations are leveraging the use of personal mobile devices in the
workplace. Today, most employees can access any business application
and can connect to their corporate networks from anywhere through
mobile applications, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and netbooks.
o Because more and more work transactions are processed through mobile
devices, security is a heighted concern. Mobile VPN technology and other
mobile security products will be a crucial component as more mobile
devices enter the workplace.
Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis.
21. 21<N9B3-74>

required to comply with government regulations that help secure customer
data and company financial information.
o As mobile devices become more prevalent and more cyber threats
specifically targeting mobile devices are discovered, the security for mobile
devices must improve.
o Regulation and compliance is a strong driver for all information security
markets, including the mobile VPN market. Verticals and industries
continue to release specific guidance and regulations for information
security. Influential legislation effecting mobile VPN market include: the
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Health
Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH),
the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLB) and Sarbanes Oxley (SOX).
Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis.
22. 22<N9B3-74>
Drivers Explained (continued)
• Need for remote accessibility drives the need for secure and continuous
access to critical data
o For remote employees, the ability to access data at all times is critical.
Businesses now expect their employees to be able to log on from any
location. The ability to access the Internet through enhanced wireless
technologies has allowed for applications to be downloaded onto mobile
devices. Employees are using more applications than originally intended.
As more applications are available for mobile or wireless devices,
enterprises are utilizing these applications to increase efficiency and to
enhance productivity.
o Furthermore, falling prices for consumer devices and data plans have
driven organizations to adopt more mobile devices into the workplace.
Because businesses financially benefit from constant employee mobility,
keeping connections secure and persistent is a necessity.

23. 23<N9B3-74>
Restraints Explained (continued)
• Budget concerns because of the current economic situation slows the
purchase of mobile VPN solutions
o Since 2008, the global economy has experienced slow growth, causing
many businesses to cut spending. In a majority of organizations, IT has
bee hit hard by spending cuts. As a result, sales cycles have slowed,
which has slowed growth in the overall information security market and for
new security products, specifically.
o Starting in 2010, the economy started to recover, but IT administrators
remain cautious about spending on new security technologies. Frost &
Sullivan believes that the need for mobile device security will outpace the
current hesitation and this market will show steady growth through the
forecast period.
Source: Frost & Sullivan analysis.
24. 24<N9B3-74>
Restraints Explained (continued)
• Need to support multiple operating systems slows down mobile VPN
development and sales
o Mobile devices of the past were Windows laptops and personal digital
assistants (PDAs), but the recent mobile-device market explosion has
resulted in an array of mobile devices. Employees are no longer limited to
Windows devices, but are using Macs, iPhones, Androids, Blackberries,
and Symbian devices to connect to corporate networks.
o Mobile VPN vendors are now scurrying to offer solutions for these broad-
based platforms. This restraint will decrease as mobile VPN vendors offer
a larger portfolio for these diverse operating systems. Many mobile VPN
vendors have support on the roadmap or in development for these
platforms, and this restraint will lessen over the next 18 months as
development and product releases catch up with demand.

Product and Technology Trends
Management tools: analytics/policy tools
• Businesses today are looking for solutions that offer more than just secure tunnels—
they are also looking for better management tools. The increase in multiple devices
and remote employees has driven the need for better visibility in managing these
devices. In addition, the remote user can now log in to many different networks,
making it difficult for IT management to centrally manage these devices. In addition
to managing these devices, businesses want to view mobile workers’ activities on
wireless connections.
Network Access Control (NAC)
• Companies such as NetMotion Wireless and Birdstep have implemented NAC
solutions into their portfolios. The NAC feature allows users to connect to the
corporate network only if it complies with security policies. Although this functionality
has appeared as important in the past, its adaption has been slow. Control in
policies and management is becoming increasingly more important than the NAC
feature.

and operating systems is also causing challenges for businesses. In the past few
years, the market has experienced an influx in new operating systems besides
Windows. Many traditional mobile VPN participants only support Windows and
Symbian, and the addition of support for new platforms is a critical competitive factor
moving forward.
Integration/consolidation
• Organizations continue to demand a one-stop-shop for security products to reduce
complexity and the amount of support contracts. In the information security market,
integration and consolidation of vendors continues to rise. Vendors, such as Cisco
and Juniper, are partnering with other mobile vendors to increase the value
proposition of their solutions. It is likely that pure-play mobile VPN vendors will need
to create tighter integration and partnerships with other mobile vendors, or they will
be acquired by larger, more comprehensive security providers.

Legislative Trends
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS)
• The PCI DSS set a minimum baseline in the marketplace to protect a cardholder’s
sensitive account and transaction information. On 1 October 2008, PCI DSS 1.2
was implemented. The main purpose for the update was to clarify existing
requirements and provide flexibility in the standard’s interpretation. Within the mobile
VPN market, legislation has stirred the retail market and businesses that have
access to remote credit card transactions. The need for encryption and protecting
data in motion continues to drive the market for mobile security.
HIPAA and HITECH
• The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was signed into law
on August 21, 1996, causing a host of security solutions to be evaluated and
implemented by hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, and insurance companies. The
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)
responds to the criticisms of HIPAA and builds on HIPAA and broadens HIPPA’s
scope by increasing the rigor for compliance. As the healthcare market adopts
wireless technologies, the need for remote access will increase. In addition,
organizations will need to secure any mobile or wireless device that is accessing the
corporate network to reduce the possibility of threats.

Legislative Trends (continued)
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
• The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) targets the financial markets, banks, securities
firms, and insurance companies. This act addresses the privacy of consumer data
and its exchange. Given the sensitivity of financial information, the financial sector
required little convincing of the need for securing their communications. Financial
institutions were early adopters of security technologies because of the size of their
networks and budgets and the sensitivity of their data.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
• The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) set and enforced standards for corporate financial
accountability. Intended to reduce fraud and conflicts of interest, SOX mandates that
CEOs, CFOs, and auditing firms attest to the validity of financial records and audits.
It establishes management's responsibility for internal control and financial
reporting; it also requires organizations to report material changes in financial
conditions or operations on a rapid and current basis.

Vertical Market Revenue Forecast Discussion
• Telecommunications and the government were the largest verticals for mobile VPN products in 2010.
The telecommunications vertical represented 30 percent of the global mobile VPN market and
generated $48 million in revenue. The government vertical represented 20 percent of the global VPN
market by generating $32 million in revenue. The telecommunications vertical includes vendors, such
as communication carriers and service providers. Telecommunications companies usually provide
services to their own clients; therefore, this market is expected to experience growth through the
increasing demand of mobile and wireless devices.
• The government vertical remains a leading vertical in information security products. Furthermore, the
mobile VPN market is in high demand for public safety, emergency, federal, local, and state
agencies. The early adopters for this solution were providers for public safety and emergencies.
Devices typically purchased in this sector consist of integrated mobile VPN clients because the
demand for seamless security is increasing for this sector.
• To remain in compliance, several key security standards are required before approving wireless
devices for government employees. The key required security standards include strong
authentication, non-repudiation, and secure personal identification devices and network levels. While
these stringent requirements are more difficult for vendors to meet, the government is less price
sensitive than other verticals.

North America Vertical Market Revenue Forecast
Discussion
• Telecommunications and the government are the top two verticals for the North
American mobile VPN market. In 2010, the North American government vertical
accounted for 30 percent of the total mobile VPN market. Customers in the
government segment invested heavily in mobile VPNs due to the increase in remote
workers utilizing wireless capabilities and solutions within the public safety, emergency,
federal, local and state agencies. Regulation and compliance are expected to be
strong drivers in this market through 2015.
• The telecommunications vertical includes vendors such as communication carriers and
service providers. The telecommunication companies typically provide services to its
own clients; therefore, the telecommunication market is a strong vertical due to the
increasing demand of mobile and wireless devices.
• Compliance and regulations will remain key drivers for securing mobile devices
entering the healthcare and financial segments.

EMEA Market Unit Shipment and Revenue Forecast
Key Takeaway: An increase in remote workers will drive sales in the EMEA market.
95. 95<N9B3-74>
EMEA Unit Shipment and Revenue Forecast Discussion
• In 2010, EMEA generated $16.3 million in revenue, representing 10.2 percent of the
global mobile VPN market. Mobile VPN sales in EMEA are expected to continue solid
growth in the future as compliance and mobility continue to drive the market.
• In EMEA, the Windows operating system has a smaller presence compared to
Symbian, Android, and Linux operating systems; therefore, mobile VPN solutions have
been slower to adopt these technologies because most mobile vendors focus on the
Windows platform. Although the late adoption of other mobile devices has had a
negative effect on the mobile VPN market, this market is expected to experience some
growth in the future and should have a CAGR of 20.3 percent.
• The EMEA market is still being led by the need for technological improvements. EMEA
is also experiencing an economic crisis, resulting in slow growth and penetration for
mobile VPN providers. In addition, the EMEA market has been slower to adopt remote
workers than the North American market.

APAC Unit Shipment and Revenue Forecast Discussion
• In 2010, the APAC region totaled $16.8 million in revenue. For the APAC region, the
market had a CAGR of 21.5 percent and represented 5.6 percent of the global mobile
VPN market.
• The wireless networks in certain regions in APAC such as China are also less mature
than North America. Although the consumer market has quickly adopted wireless
access, the enterprise market has not been as quick to adopt these wireless devices.
In addition, the cost for wireless access appears to be a greater concern in these
areas than it is in North America. In these regions, the development of the network
infrastructure and future economic growth will enable better penetration and growth
within the future forecast.
