A software-defined perimeter is a technique for hiding internet-connected equipment, such as routers and servers, so that external users cannot see it. An SDP can be implemented to safeguard infrastructure, regardless of whether it is hosted in the cloud or on-premises. SDP relies on using software, rather than hardware, to safeguard an environment. Its applications are more varied, and its deployment method is more nimble than hardware alternatives because it is software. Furthermore, SDP is more versatile than VPN in addition to being more manageable. Since it might be challenging to integrate several employees of the same firm under a single VPN system, many businesses have begun using SDP architecture as a centralized authorization mechanism to grant access to sensitive company information. This factor is anticipated to boost the software defined perimeter market growth during the forecast period.
The number of network risks has decreased as a result of the use of cloud-based services. Typical perimeter defensive methods such as firewalls cannot defend traditional data centers and servers, increasing the risk of network attacks on application infrastructure. Thus, a lack of industry standards and a lack of security awareness restrained the software defined perimeter market growth.
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) with SDP-based security solutions has created a wide range of potential opportunities for the SDP market. For companies of all sizes, IoT is becoming increasingly important, and it needs to be protected from outside threats. In the near future, it is projected that the dynamic SDP for IoT will accelerate market growth because it is the best replacement for traditional firewalls and network controls. In addition, the market for software defined perimeters offers security and other essential components at competitive prices. It helps to lessen the challenges faced when regulating the systems. The cloud-based technologies also make VPN tunnels better at solving security concerns. In the following years, it is projected that these reasons will accelerate the expansion of the software defined perimeter industry.
The COVID-19 outbreak caused significant losses for the market in numerous regions. Future projects and plans were hampered, and they will now require considerably more time. However, the sudden transition toward cloud-based systems and digitalization has increased the demand for a sustainable system. The growth of the software defined perimeter market is anticipated to benefit from this demand. Additionally, several government initiatives and the rising need for SDP systems are anticipated to fuel market growth.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, “Software Defined Perimeter Market," the software defined perimeter market was valued at $5.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $143.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 39.3% from 2022 to 2031.Software defined perimeter (SDP) refers to a specific type of security solution that protects networks such as servers, operating systems, wireless protocols, and others from the risks of external and internal threats. SDP is designed to offer a reliable and dynamic overlay network that to lessen network-based threats. When using SDP, resources are hidden from unauthorized users. By abandoning outdated perimeter-centric security methods, organizations can meet the goals of Zero Trust and increase their security effectiveness and resilience with SDP. The design of SDP also includes a need-to-know access model that needs users on validated devices to sign in to the perimeter cryptographically. In addition, it also blackens assets while employing public infrastructures such as the internet.
The software defined perimeter market is driven by mainly due to an increase in cybersecurity threats globally. Moreover, fast-growing initiatives such as software-defined wide-area-networking (SD-WAN) and the security-oriented Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) are also contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, major solution suppliers are focusing on introducing advanced software defined perimeter software to meet the changing work environment amongst small & medium as well as large enterprises. Also, solution vendors are adopting various business expansion strategies mainly amalgamation, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures to expand their technological capabilities and stay competitive in the global market. For instance, in June 2022, Johnson Controls, the global leader in smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings acquired Tempered Networks company to bring zero trust cybersecurity to connected buildings globally. This strategic move gives Johnson Controls the capability to provide zero trust security within fully autonomous buildings that are inherently resilient to cyberattack. Owing to the abovementioned factors, the global software defined perimeter is expected to witness exponential growth during the forecast period.
Traditional data centers and servers are prone to vulnerable malware and threats of network attacks owing to a lack of awareness about advanced security solutions along with a lack of industry standards. Also, the high cost of investments involved at the initial stage to configure the solutions and services associated with software defined perimeter is projected to limit the market growth.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has revolutionized the working environment wherein the major population is working remotely. In such a scenario, the introduction of advanced intuitive technologies mainly the Internet of Things has played an imperative role in redefining the software defined perimeter (SPD) market. It bypasses the complexity and lengthy processes of traditional VPNs providing an integrated, secure, and cyber-resilient infrastructure platform for critical applications and systems.
The software defined perimeter (SDP) market share is segmented on the basis of connectivity, deployment mode, organization size, user type, and region. By connectivity, it is classified into controller, gateway, and end point. By deployment mode, it is divided into on-premises and cloud. By organization size, it is classified into large enterprises and small and medium enterprise. By user type, it is divided into government and defense, IT and telecom, banking, financial services and insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, and others. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The key players profiled in the software defined perimeter market report include Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., Cisco Systems, Inc., Palo Alto Networks, Intel Corporation, Fortinet, Inc., Akamai Technologies, Okta, NortonLifeLock Inc., and Verizon Cato Networks. The major players in the market have been actively engaged in the adoption of various strategies such as acquisition, product launch, and expansion to remain competitive and gain an advantage over the competitors in the market. For instance, in November 2021, BlastWave, a developer of software-defined perimeter (SDP) solutions, introduced Passwordless SDP solution ‘BlastShield’ to address the three most common attack vectors. This would help organizations that have adopted a zero-trust security model to have multi-factor authentication (MFA) for identity-based secure remote network access.
