Market Growth Factors

Rising demand for advanced virtual security solutions

Enterprises, banks, data centers, and financial institutions continue to lead the market demand for network access control solutions to store & update crucial data. Alarmingly high rates of cybercrime and rising geopolitical unrest have fueled an increase in network security lapses and unauthorized intrusions, necessitating the implementation of effective security solutions, network access control being a key component. Investments in network access control systems will increase steadily during the projection period as numerous enterprise networks compete to reach outside of protected boundaries. Thus, the market is predicted to witness growth in the upcoming years.

Growing risk of cybersecurity threats

Governments have passed stronger laws to protect sensitive & personal data in response to cybersecurity risks & data breaches. Data protection and access control regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), impose strict standards. Through the enforcement of access rules, the preservation of audit trails, and the provision of insight into network activities, NAC solutions assist enterprises in meeting these compliance requirements. In consideration of this, the market is estimated to grow significantly.

Market Restraining Factors

Deployment challenges and associated complexity

A diversified IT ecosystem comprising several systems, applications, and platforms is common in organizations. It might be difficult and time-consuming to integrate NAC systems with these various components. NAC solution deployment and integration might be hampered by compatibility problems, integration difficulties, and a lack of interoperability across various technologies and providers. Due to the lack of a uniform set of standards in the NAC industry, numerous proprietary solutions and methods exist. The adoption of NAC systems from various vendors or in various environments may be hampered by this lack of standardization and its potential to cause interoperability issues. To overcome this restriction, standardized efforts and industry partnerships are required.
