  9. The Market • Analyst firm IDC expects this market to grow from $2.6 billion in 2002 to nearly $6 billion by 2006 • Based on a Gartner survey of 30 senior security executives in large companies, many organizations already have internal secure identity management initiatives underway: • 80% of Financial Services • 70% of Retail • 70% of High Tech

  10. What the analysts are saying… “The typical enterprise must manage increasingly virtual relationships with employees, contractors, customers, partners, suppliers, and a variety of other network constituents. The old way of thinking about corporate boundaries and network security—the firewall as an impenetrable perimeter—no longer apply. Suddenly, the ability to manage identity has a direct impact on your company’s brand and its ability to adapt to new business models. Do it well and your company can make money in new ways. Do it poorly and your company will be damaged severely.” Jamie Lewis CEO and Research Chair Burton Group
