US Government will Spend $6.7B on DPI Based Security for 2013-2018

    

A new research by Market Research Media finds that "The U.S. Government Deep Packet Inspection market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 31% from 2013 to around US$ 1.8 Billion by 2018. The market will see a few good years of explosive growth in all segments before going flat"

"While technological advantages of the DPI technology leave no doubt about its significant role in cyber security, lawful interception and data leakage protection, the perception of DPI as “postal employees opening envelopes and reading letters inside” and privacy concerns hurdle its deployment."

While the report shows a nice annual growth, the numbers are smaller comapred to the previous report, which projected $7.2B spending from 2010 to 2015 (here).
