First-of-its-Kind Industry Report Publishes Market Share Results; Reveals Neoteris Owns More than One-Third of the Industry’s Shipments and Revenues
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – April 28, 2003 – Neoteris, Inc., the leading instant secure application access vendor, today announced it is the leader in the application-layer SSL VPN market, according to In-Stat/MDR’s “Tunneling Through the Flames: An Analysis of the Firewall and VPN Market” report published this week. In addition to a thorough evaluation of the firewall and VPN markets, the report publishes the industry’s first market share comparisons of the leading SSL-based remote access vendors.
According to In-Stat/MDR, Neoteris produced 36 percent of the industry’s unit shipments in 2002, and leads the industry by a wide margin with 34 percent of the industry’s end-use revenues. The ground-breaking report evaluated the six leading vendors in the application-layer SSL VPN market category, and ranked them according to market share results. The closest vendor to Neoteris trails with 20 percent of the industry’s end-use revenues.
Neoteris’ market-leading Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) products will be demonstrated at the NetWorld+ Interop 2003 Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nev., where Neoteris is exhibiting in Booth No. 7075 this week.
“Approximately 18 months ago, SSL began its new life in the VPN market with launches from start-ups like Neoteris, offering a cost-effective alternative to IPSec VPNs,” said Jaclynn Bumback, research analyst at In-Stat/MDR. “As the first company to provide appliance-based instant secure access to applications over SSL, Neoteris continues to have the leading market share. While most vendors will agree that SSL VPNs will not replace the traditional IPSec VPNs in the site-to-site market, it is interesting to note how quickly vendors followed Neoteris into this rapidly growing, new remote access space. Through product innovations, strong management, and a growing technology partner program, Neoteris demonstrates its leadership and commitment to solving critical customer needs in this fast-growing security category.”
“We are pleased to see our industry leadership confirmed by In-Stat/MDR in this SSL-based access market share report, the first of its kind in the industry,” said Neoteris President and CEO Krishna “Kittu” Kolluri. “As the pioneer vendor in this security appliance category, Neoteris has executed on a vision of leveraging the Internet to allow ubiquitous, secure access to enterprise applications and resources. We will lead this industry as it continues to grow through our technical innovation, execution, and superior functionality meeting new sets of user needs.”

Neoteris introduced a novel category of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)-based secure access appliances in November of 2001 that changed the way employees and partners access corporate information. Through the Neoteris Access Series of Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) appliances, authorized users can gain secure remote access to network resources from any standard Web browser. As a result, users are no longer constrained to use specific machines or to work from designated locations; they can work from anywhere they can get an Internet connection and a Web browser. There is no need to install, configure, or maintain a client. Given the reduced support overhead implied, IT human and capital resources can be re-allocated to other areas. The Access products enable greater mobility and productivity for enterprises than ever before.
Neoteris IVE Secure Access Appliances
The Neoteris Access(tm) Series provides enterprise-class secure access to network resources for remote employees, customers, and partners. Contrary to traditional access technologies, there is no client software to install because Neoteris leverages SSL for secure, controlled access to resources via any Web browser. The Access appliances also eliminate the need to secure or harden servers, or make changes to existing infrastructure. The result is a more cost-effective, secure access solution that is easy for customers to deploy and simple for end-users to operate.
Neoteris Access appliances provide application-layer access, stringent access controls, and granular auditing and reporting capabilities to further minimize security concerns. Additionally, the IVE platform offers enterprise-class high availability and performance scalability options, so secure access can be deployed on a wide scale without worrying about user downtime, lost productivity or network performance. Neoteris IVE appliances have passed rigorous security audits by TruSecure Corporation, Cryptography Research, Inc., and security and forensic computing expert Dan Farmer. The products have also won numerous awards as an innovative and compelling access solution, helping enterprises increase efficiency and productivity.
