Internet Growth & Security
The growth of the internet has truly become astounding. No longer are companies
confined to selling merchandise from a brick & mortar store. With the sheer amount of internet
users today, business owners would be crazy to not try and take some of the market
share in their industry.
An issue that could be stopping some business owners is internet security.
Because internet transactions are done with mostly credit cards, there have been problems
with fraud. This is where companies like; VeriSign, Aventail, 3COM, and TippingPoint come
into play. These, as well as other companies, are working everyday to ensure that all
transactions, data, and information sent over the internet is done so in a secure manner.
InternetWorldStats.com
has gathered valuable information that all business
owners and potential website owners should know. It is estimated that the world is currently
catering to a total of 6.5 billion people. Most of these people can (and should) be considered
potential customers. A company based solely in the U.S. only has access to just over 331
million of these people, which is the U.S. current population. If we get into demographics and
specific locations, this number once again goes down substantially. With over 3 billion people
in Asia and almost 1 billion in Europe, these potential customers are too many to be ignored.

Internet security can be broken down into two different segments.
These segments are business security and client (user) security. While Aventail is a
leader in business security, VeriSign is a leader in client (user) security. Although
these companies focus on different types of security; both have the same goal in making
the internet a safer place to do business and transactions.
