The global network safety market is $ 38 billion by 2029, as it grows at an annual rate of 10 %, according to a report issued by the Del'oro Group.
This increase is provided with the first cloud safety strategies, hybrid work environments and solutions that depend on artificial intelligence, where it is expected that the safety of the network -based network will explain more than half of the market revenues by 2026.
“Institutions vote with their wallets,” said Mauricio Sanchez, chief security and network security manager at the Deloro Group. For decades, network security dominated the devices.
He added while they still carry the majority share today, the strongest growth is clearly with software -based solutions and cloud observation.
The report indicated that the transition away from the security -based safety is accelerating with the transfer of institutions to virtual protection walls, SSE and the Walls of the Web application (WAF) to secure their networks.
Virtual protection walls are expected to grow at a 15 % annual rate, while SSE revenue is expected to exceed $ 11 billion by 2029, which reflects an increasing preference for developmental and cloud safety models.
According to Sanchez, safety solutions based on a more light -moving and expansion safety group provides compared to traditional security infrastructure.
“There is no way to spread the device protection wall in the public cloud – it must be programs or virtual,” he said. “Solutions based on the group of theapstens go further because it eliminates the operational burden on institutions. If the company needs more capacity or features, it can expand immediately without hitting the limits of physical devices.”
Another major adoption engine is the financial model. Heavy security infrastructure is replaced in Capex, which requires large investments provided every five to seven years, with an Opex model, allowing companies to spread costs.
“For many institutions, the ability to pay the price of security as a service instead of investing the huge capital is a change in games,” Sanchez said.
SSE, fuel market growth
Security Service Edge (SSE) quickly traps as organizations rethink security structure. SSE unifies the safety brokers to reach the cloud (CASB), the arrival of the Ztna and the safe GATWAYS on the web (SWG) to one cloud delivery, to replace the traditional VPNS and the ocean -based safety.
“Companies are heading to SSE to enhance security in the first cloud world,” Sanchez said. “It plays a decisive role in the Zero Trust strategies by ensuring that the right users and devices only get access to preventing threats through mixed work settings and cloud applications.”
Artificial intelligence (AI) appears as a major force in cybersecurity, helping organizations to discover threats faster, improve analyzes and automate responses.
It reduces AI's safety solutions, allowing IT teams to focus on real threats rather than sifting excessive alerts.
Sanchez pointed out that “artificial intelligence reshapes security operations by discovering an unusual activity in an actual time and alleviating the burden of working on information technology teams.” “The sellers are invested greatly in the security promotions driven by artificial intelligence, whether to keep pace with advanced threats, and frankly, to pay more revenues through new products offers.”
However, while artificial intelligence converts safety tools, its broader effect on the structure of the network safety and spending is still developing.
“If you have to read tea leaves, there is an enormous opportunity in the future,” Sanchez said. “With the deepening of institutions in artificial intelligence, you will face a completely new set of security challenges, which leads the demand for innovative solutions.”
The challenges that are transferred to cloud safety
Despite the advantages, the shift to the safety specified by software and cloud with challenges, as companies often reduce hidden costs, such as cloud infrastructure expenses to operate virtual protection walls.
Sanchez warned: “Some companies do not realize that spreading software protection walls means paying the costs of the basic cloud – account, storage and networks that are not free.”
In addition, cloud safety solutions require a different approach to network architecture.
The traditional security services were largely transparent to direct the company's network, but the safety based on the code group is actively integrated into network topology, and it requires coordination with IT teams.
Pricing is another concern: many cloud safety solutions for use, which may lead to unexpected costs.
Sanchez said: “If the institutions do not closely monitor the amount of data they pay, they may be in an unpleasant surprise when the bill arrives,” Sanchez said.
