Canalys publishes market data on a quarterly basis within its various continuous services. The methodology behind the ‘Worldwide Enterprise Security Market Overview Q4 2009' centres on the tracking of end-user shipment value of products from vendors into distribution channel partners (or direct to end-customers). Canalys uses a clear set of rules to classify products unambiguously. It takes into account how products are positioned by vendors, and will allocate to a primary category in situations where, for example, a product is marketed as being suitable for more than one customer segment.
