Consolidation in the anti-spam industry

A report released by Gartner last month predicts consolidation in the anti-spam industry and a rapid contraction of the pool of anti-spam vendors over the course of this year. The report suggests that, by the end of 2004, the current tally of about 40 vendors in the anti-spam market will have shrunk to fewer than 10. Maureen Caplan Grey, one of the authors of the report, likened the expected change to that seen in the anti-virus market a few years ago. Her recommendation was that enterprises pick a solution from a company which treats anti-spam as a piece of the overall email security picture.
