650 Group Sees SD-WAN Driving SASE 500% Growth
February 18, 2021
According
to a new report published by 650 Group,
titled Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Forecast and Research Report 2020-2025,
the size of the market is predicted to
grow by more than a factor of five from
2020 to 2025. The report includes market
share assessments and market forecasts.
As the information technology industry
embraces cloud-based computing, remote
workers, and Internet of Things (IoT)
technologies, both networking and
security infrastructures are evolving.
Perimeter-based security systems are
insufficient to reduce security exposure
as computing moves to support Software
as a Service (SaaS), cloud computing,
and colocation-based computing.
Additionally, as workers become
increasingly mobile and as they work
from home, while, at the same time,
organizations embrace the use of IoT
devices, new technology is needed to
identify and lock down access to
corporate resources.
"We
anticipate that security and networking
industries will consolidate together in
the coming years. The emergence of SASE,
which is a combination of both security
and networking technology, is part of a
larger trend that will drive vendor
consolidation," said Chris DePuy,
Technology Analyst at 650 Group. "There
is tremendous opportunity for new
vendors to stake their claim in this
increasingly complex computing
environment."
The report also discusses the impact of the changes to existing vendors in the security industry, such as Cloudflare, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, ZScaler, and to vendors in the networking industry, such as Cisco Systems, HPE Aruba, Juniper Networks, Huawei, VMWare and others.
