Tech sector IPOs surged by a factor of five in terms of value from 2008 to 2009. A mere $749.2 million raised in 2008 jumped to $3.8 million so far this year, according to data from Thomson Reuters. In 2008, only three went public, while 10 tech companies made the plunge in 2009. And, expectations are even higher for 2010.

Paul Bard, a research analyst at Renaissance Capital, forecasts between 40 and 50 tech industry IPOs next year, in which $4 billion to $5 billion in capital would be raised. "We've been expecting an uptick in technology because it has really been underrepresented in the market over the last few years," says Bard. The IPO market for high-tech companies was strong in 2007, but it seized up along with virtually every other form of capital raising when the financial crisis erupted in 2008.

Wednesday's strong IPO of Fortinet is yet another sign that investors are warming up to early-stage deals -- especially of fast-growing companies.

So does this mean we'll see a public offering of a company like Facebook?

Maybe so. According to Bloomberg News, there has been lots of activity in the private shares of Facebook, which have spiked 42% over the past couple months. The valuation now comes to about $9.5 billion.

As companies get more reliant on technologies, the risks increase substantially because of the explosion of security threats. As a result, spending on information technology (IT) security software continues to grow at a hefty rate -- despite the recession.

One of the clear beneficiaries is Fortinet, which launched its IPO today. The company issued 12.5 million shares at $12.50 each (the price range was $9 to $11). The underwriters on the deal included Morgan Stanley (MS), JP Morgan (JPM) and Deutsche Bank Securities (DB).

What makes Fortinet different? Keep in mind that the traditional approach to IT security is to implement a variety of different products, like firewalls, filtering, etc. However, this can be expensive and bog down network performance.
