Blue Coat Korea (www.bluecoat.co.kr), a cloud and APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) security company, announced that it was selected as the leading company in the network security forensics sector at the '2016 Global Frost & Sullivan Market Leadership Awards' announced by IT research firm Frost & Sullivan.

According to Frost & Sullivan, Blue Coat recorded over $1 billion in revenue in the network security forensics market last year, accounting for a 14% market share.



Blue Coat Korea's Blue Coat Security Analytics platform is an integrated solution that provides packet analysis, metadata collection, comprehensive threat detection, and unknown file scanning. It has been shown to offer powerful diagnostic capabilities while securing a high market share as a network security forensics platform.

Chris Kissel, an analyst at Frost & Sullivan, said, “The BlueCoat security analytics platform integrates incident detection, network performance, sandbox integration, deep packet inspection, and network security forensics into a single solution, enabling a faster and more effective response.” "In particular, it supports faster troubleshooting and forensic speeds through full traffic capture and playback functions, and when used in conjunction with global intelligence services, it can enhance the quality of metadata collected during network security forensic scans," they explained.

"It is a great honor to receive this award," said Alan Hall, Director of Marketing for Security Analytics Products at Blue Coat. "As network boundaries have expanded, so too have the scope of attacks. Blue Coat supports enterprises in continuously reducing future risks by blocking, tracking, and responding to attacks before they cause damage."

Frost & Sullivan evaluates market leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and product development capabilities from multiple perspectives, while industry analysts measure vendor performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to select representative companies in each sector.
