Internet Security
The growing popularity of the Internet has heralded a new era in
which there is a high degree of interconnectivity between different
networks. However, this has also increased the opportunity for
spreading malicious software and unauthorized access to confidential
information.
According to a technical market research report, RG-293 Internet
Security from Business Communications Co. Inc. (www.bccresearch.com),
the global Internet security market was worth approximately US$27.7
billion in 2005, and is expected to grow at an average annual growth
rate (AAGR) of 16.0 % to reach approximately US$58.1 billion by 2010.
During the 2002-2004 period, the market for Internet security
products increased at an AAGR of more than 30 %. The market for
Internet security is comprised of hardware appliances, software
solutions, and services, such as consulting and management of security
services. It is expected that, in the near future, the market for
Internet security will be driven by the growth in the hardware security
appliances segment, which is expected to grow at the fastest rate as
compared to the market for software security, which will show a
decreasing trend.
Some of the primary technologies in this market include security 3A
and identity management, secure control management, firewall, intrusion
detection and prevention, and security information management.
The high growth rate of the Internet security market can be
attributed to a higher demand for strong security solutions in
different market verticals, such as financial services, government
installations and healthcare. Amongst these, the financial services
industry has been a major contributor in the past and is expected to be
the primary employer of Internet security applications till 2010.

completed a major overhaul of its Web site. Visitors to the site are
able to access documents, drawings, CAD models, and other product
information. Product information can be obtained by product type,
industry application, brand, or alphabetically. An enhanced site search
engine allows for keyword, part number or partial part number searches.

Adhesives: High-performance specialty adhesives for
electronics, consumer and medical markets, can be found at the Web site
recently launched by Akron Coating and Adhesives. The site, www.akroncoating.com
provides information about the company’s water based, heat-activated
and pressure-sensitive adhesives and coatings. These products adhere a
variety of metals (and other substrates) to such difficult-to-bond
plastics as TPEs (theromoplastic elastomers), TPOs (thermoplastic
oligimers), and TPVs (thermoplastic vulcacinates).
Enclosures: Hoffman’s redesigned Web site features
streamlined navigation, enhanced search options and a new online
product catalogue to provide visitors a more effective and
user-friendly tool to obtain information about the company's products
and services. Both the catalogue or model number search and the product
key word search produces a link to product specifications as well as
available CAD files, CE Declarations, MSDS or other documentation so a
product’s technical specifications are more easily available. www.hoffmanonline.com
