Firewall-As-A-Service Global Market Report 2024

Firewall as a service (FWaaS) is a firewall solution delivered as a cloud-based service that allows companies to simplify IT infrastructure. Firewall as a Service filters network traffic to safeguard organizations from both inside and outside threats.

The main service types of firewalls as a service are traffic monitoring and control, compliance and audit management, reporting and log management, automation and orchestration, and security management. Traffic monitoring and control reports, alert, and provides vital information. Firewall services use this for web-traffic details, security attacks, VPN log-on and log-off trends, and firewall rule changes. The services are deployed in private and hybrid deployment by large enterprises, small and medium enterprises, and used for banking, financial services, and insurance, it and telecom, manufacturing, travel and hospitality, healthcare, energy and utilities, retail and consumer goods, and other verticals.

The firewall-as-a-service market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.79 billion in 2023 to $3.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in cybersecurity threats, growth in remote work and cloud adoption, emphasis on network security and access control, adoption of bring your own device (byod) policies, rise of software-defined networking (sdn).

The firewall-as-a-service market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased adoption of zero trust security models, growth in internet of things (iot) security, emphasis on cloud-native security solutions, expansion of firewall-as-a-service for 5g networks, rise of cloud-native firewalls. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of artificial intelligence in firewall-as-a-service, micro-segmentation for enhanced network security, integration with cloud security posture management (cspm), emphasis on threat intelligence and threat hunting, adoption of secure access service edge (sase) principles in firewall-as-a-service.

The increase in the number of fraud cases and cyber-attacks is expected to propel the growth of the firewall as a service market going forward. A cyberattack is a malicious and deliberate attempt by an individual or organization to breach the information system of another individual or organization. Cybercrime has increased every year as people try to benefit from vulnerable business systems. The visibility and traffic filtering that a firewall provides enable an organization to identify and block a large percentage of malicious traffic before it enters the network perimeter and can provide defense in depth. For instance, according to an article published by Forbes, a US-based business magazine, the average number of cyberattacks and data breaches worldwide increased by 15.1% in 2020. Furthermore, according to a statistical report published by Packetlabs, a Canadian-based penetration testing company, in 2021 cybercrime costs the world $6 trillion and by 2025 this figure would climb to $10.5 trillion. Therefore, an increase in the number of fraud cases and cyber-attacks will drive the firewall-as-a-service market.

Increasing digital transformation is significantly contributing to the growth of the Firewall-As-A-Service market going forward. Digital transformation refers to the complete integration of digital technology into a company, radically altering how it functions and provides value to clients. Digital transformation initiatives, which include the adoption of cloud services, IoT devices, and other emerging technologies, require updated firewall solutions to protect evolving network architectures. For instance, in February 2023, according to the data released by Apty a US-based cloud platform provider for digital transformation of enterprises, global investment on digital transformation services and technology is expected to reach $2.3 trillion by 2023. Therefore, the increasing digital transformation will drive the Firewall-As-A-Service market.

Advancements in cloud-based firewall services have emerged as a key trend gaining popularity in the firewall as a service market. A cloud firewall protects cloud infrastructure from attacks, just as a traditional firewall protects on-premise networks. Major companies operating in the firewall as a service market are focused on developing new technological solutions to strengthen their position. For instance, in March 2022, Palo Alto, a US-based cybersecurity company launches a cloud-native firewall service for AWS (Amazon Web Services). It would be a managed Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) service designed to simplify securing AWS deployments, enabling organizations to speed their pace of innovation while remaining highly secured.

Major companies operating in the Firewall-As-A-Service market are focusing on developing edge computing solutions for better deployment of firewall services and increasing the efficiency of firewall security operations. Edge computing refers to a distributed information technology (IT) architecture in which client data is processed at the periphery of the network, as close to the originating source as possible. For instance, in February 2022, Juniper Networks a US-based provider of networking products, launched Juniper Secure Edge. With the help of Security Director Cloud, the new solution offers Firewall-as-a-Service as a single-stack software architecture that enables businesses to protect their workforces.

In May 2021, Arayaka, a US-based wide-area software-defined network connectivity, and application delivery company acquired Secucloud GmbH for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Arayaka would be able to deliver on the promise of a managed SASE (SECURE ACCESS SERVICE EDGE) offering, while providing customers and partners with greater choice for the type of solution they would position for different deployment of use-cases. Secucloud GmbH is a Germany-based company working on security technology and provides cloud-based firewall-as-a-service.
