The software-defined security market is projected to grow from US$ 7.13 billion in 2021 to US$ 40.73 billion by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.6% from 2022 to 2028.
Software-defined security offerings help overcome challenges such as spoofing/cache poisoning, tunneling, hijacking, phantom domain attack, random subdomain attack, domain lock-up attack, and botnet-based customer premise equipment (CPE) attack. With software-defined security, organizations can block or redirect DNS requests to identify malicious domains and alert users about visiting dangerous sites or possible malware attacks by communicating with operators. According to the Global DNS Threat report by EfficientIP, India witnessed the highest number of DNS attacks in 2021. Moreover, globally ~87% of organizations experienced DNS attacks, and the average cost incurred by each attack was ~US$ 950,000. Per the Global DNS Threat Report, organizations across industries suffered an average of 7.6 attacks in 2020. Asia recorded a 15% increase in DNS attacks in 2021, and these attacks incurred the cost of US$ 908,140 in 2021, compared to US$ 792,840 in 2020. The same report by EfficientIP states that Malaysia, Spain, and France witnessed 78%, 36%, and 25% rise in damages caused by DNS attacks in 2021 Software-defined security allows organizations to inspect e-mail traffic and request access from several websites to determine their data safety. Moreover, the use of software-defined security for data exfiltration via DNS tunneling can be detected and blocked by an intrusion prevention system integrated into next-generation firewall. This helps in blocking e-mails that may contain malware and prevent users from visiting websites that may be malicious. Mimecast, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., Comodo Security Solutions Inc., DNSFilter Inc., and DomainTools are among the software-defined security developers that offer DNS monitoring solutions. Thus, surge in DNS attacks, contributing to the growth of software-defined security market.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The IT infrastructure has grown more complicated and heterogeneous in the past five years due to new platforms, BYOD regulations, CYOD trends, business apps, and other technologies.
