Balanced Enterprise Spending Highlights Transition Towards Cloud-Native Solutions
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the global Network Security market eclipsed over $6 B in 3Q 2024, growing 8 percent year-over-year (Y/Y). For the first time in over a year, hardware-based solutions stabilized, balancing the market alongside strong double-digit growth from SaaS and virtual solutions. This dynamic underscores the ongoing pivot toward cloud-native security architectures while maintaining a transitional equilibrium between traditional and cloud-centric approaches.
"The 3Q 2024 market highlights a pivotal moment where enterprises balance investments across physical, virtual, and SaaS security solutions," said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell'Oro Group. "However, the long-term trajectory clearly favors SaaS and virtual solutions as they align with evolving enterprise security strategies."
Additional highlights from the 3Q 2024 Network Security Quarterly Report:
-- Firewalls: Total firewall revenue remained above $3 B, growing three
percent Y/Y. Virtual firewalls led the segment with 22 percent growth,
while physical firewalls stabilized after several quarters of
contraction, driven by midrange and low-end gains.
-- SSE: The Security Service Edge (SSE) market grew 14 percent Y/Y to $1.4
B. Its growth has been on a deceleration trend as a reflection of 2023
macroeconomic pressures and increasing market maturity.
-- SWG Appliances: Secure Web Gateway (SWG) appliances declined three
percent Y/Y, reflecting the ongoing shift to cloud-based SSE platforms.
-- ADCs: Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) posted a 14 percent Y/Y
revenue increase, driven by deferred upgrades, though long-term growth
remains constrained by market maturity.
-- WAFs: Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) grew 18 percent Y/Y, fueled by
rising demand for API security and protection against sophisticated
web-based threats.
-- The Network Security market is expected to sustain moderate growth
through 2025, driven by hybrid and cloud-centric investments, with
quarterly growth fluctuating between 9 and 10 percent. Virtual and
SaaS-based solutions will lead growth, while physical appliances
stabilize.
