Network Security Firewall Market is on an Upward Growth Curve | GIS Research Study
The network security firewall is configured so that any data entering or exiting the network must pass through it. Network security firewall accomplishes this by examining individual incoming messages and rejecting those that fail to meet the defined security criteria. When properly configured, a firewall allows users to access any needed resources while keeping out hackers, unwanted users, worms, viruses, or other malicious programs trying to access the protected network. Additionally, to limit access to a protected computer & network, a firewall can log all traffic coming into or leaving a network & manage remote access to a private network through secure authentication certificates and logins.
Key Drivers
The increasing deployment of IoT in industries results in network security threats like the IoT Botnets. The botnets enable hackers to get access to devices that plug into IoT. For instance, the leaked Mirai code had created a highly effective horde of bots resulting in an array of DDoS attacks. The development of such bots puts immense pressure on technology companies to implement network security measures. Such implementations are positively influencing the network security firewall market across the world.
Secondly, the SMS landscape is transforming quickly, where SMS firewall has captured a prominent position in establishing good A2P SMS monetization strategies and equipping them with network analysis and protection competencies. Over time, the demand for SMS security firewalls has spawned various providers, offering mobile operators a variety of value propositions and vendors to choose solutions. As SMS prevails to be a critical factor for revenue generation, operators worldwide focus on technological modifications to deal with threats like spam/spoofs and fraudulent activities. Therefore, the rising security and privacy concerns among the industry players are expected to drive the demand for SMS firewalls and contribute to the network security firewall market.
The solution segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period
This is attributed to increased deployment of SMS (short message service) firewalls for network security, anti-spam & fraud prevention, and increased adoption of A2P (application-to-person messaging) messaging for monetization purposes. Mobile network operators can secure their networks and generate revenues from legitimate A2P use cases by deploying next-generation firewalls. Thus, numerous benefits of the solution segment boost the market’s growth.
The cloud-based segment is likely to hold the major share of the market
Based on the deployment type, the cloud-based segment is expected to have a higher network security firewall market share. Over the years, the demand for cloud-based systems is expected to grow substantially due to the cloud-based network security firewall software offering enhanced flexibility, scalability, and security to its users. Further, it allows the end users to receive automatic software updates without additional capital expenditures, improving technology competitiveness. Due to these factors mentioned above, the cloud-based network security firewall software is expected to receive the main market attraction resulting in a principal growth rate.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The increasing count of IoT Deployment Types and cloud computing has increased the organization’s vulnerability to cyber-attack, leading to difficulties in identifying malicious activities. Thus, industries worldwide have raised the demand for a skilled workforce to mitigate and protect organizations against cyber threats.
Advanced network security demands advanced skills at work, and it becomes difficult or almost impossible for companies to hire additional staff. The shortage of skilled workforce is also affecting the organization’s budgets, which are growing impeccably but unable to maintain the cyber security ecosystem. This factor has created an alarming situation among the organizations, owing to which various leading enterprises are training their employees with advanced skills.
Major Companies
The key players studied in the global network security firewall market are Adaptive Mobile Security Limited (Ireland), AMD Telecom S.A. (Greece), ANAM Technologies (Ireland), Cellusys Limited (Ireland), Cisco Systems, Inc. (US), Mobileum (US), Omobio (Sri Lanka), Openmind Networks Ltd (Ireland), SAP SE (Germany), and Sinch (Sweden).
