Aladdin eSafe & Cisco: Delivering value-added tiered content security services.

The Need

Most security threats originate from web surfing rather than emails. These threats include spyware, adware, Trojans, etc.
Thus, traditional anti virus solutions are no longer effective. An efficient web security solution has become a necessity.
Users perceive their Internet service providers as the entity responsible for their security and constantly congest the ISP help desk with web security issues. ISPs must offer a solution.

The Opportunity

As a result of these changes, it is expected of ISPs that they provide a service which stops web surfing security threats. As Forrester noted: "consumers will demand a safe Internet service, and if an ISP doesn't measure up on security, members will flee to a rival provider. Customers will absolutely demand a clean pipe." (Stamp, 2005)

Moreover, consumers are willing to pay extra for such service: 47 percent of surveyed broadband consumers would be willing to pay for a value-added service (VAS) bundle that would include security. (Jupiter, 2005)
