Network Edge Security Solutions Market Top Key Players are Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Extreme Networks, Netsurion LLC, Fortinet, Inc
Network edge device acts as the entry or exit point for a network, and controls the flow of data at the boundary between a trusted internal infrastructure and external networks. Network edge devices provide functions such as routing, processing, monitoring, filtering, translation, and storage of data passing between networks. With growing number of internet connected devices across ethernet, Wi-Fi, and other technologies such as Bluetooth and IoT, malicious actors are increasingly launching sophisticated attack strategies in order to disrupt network operations or steal confidential data, and the need to maintain a secure and effective network has become time-consuming and expensive for organizations.
Organizations that may not have earlier prioritized their networking strategy are now implementing infrastructure that is capable of handling data from wired and wireless endpoints, such as, smartphones, laptops, servers, tablets, and other connected sensors or devices including, point-of-sales (POS) systems. The need for smart network edge solutions has expanded from educational campuses and IT industries to retail, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, event stadiums, and entertainment industries. Organizations are now demanding network edge security solutions that detect, isolate, and fix threats and issues to their internal network, as and when they occur.
Driving factors of the global network edge security solutions market include rise in adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, increase in consumption of data on mobile devices, and the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which have created the need to connect multiple, diverse devices to the network, with each of these devices generating data in different formats and protocols.
