Global DNS Security Software Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030
DNS (domain name system) security software is used to secure DNS servers and the websites they support. These tools redirect end-user web traffic through filters capable of identifying malware signatures and other characteristics of potentially dangerous websites and media. DNS security software provides IT personnel with tools to classify websites, categorize users, group devices, and customize usage policies. Companies use these tools to protect their employees’ endpoint devices and their own servers by blocking dangerous content, media, and websites. They can also be used to prevent employees from accessing unapproved content, such as adult or streaming sites, in the workplace. DNS-based attacks have a variety of impacts and can cause significant disruptions. To combat this, DNS security software also possesses monitoring capabilities to identify unauthorized or malicious bots that may be capable of disrupting server performance, service availability, and network connectivity.
Market Overview:The latest research study on the global DNS Security Software market finds that the global DNS Security Software market reached a value of USD 1490.4 million in 2023. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3021.08 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.
Cyber-attacks against DNS on the rise
DNS security refers to the protection measures involving the DNS protocol. The Domain Name System (DNS) is an internet protocol that provides human-readable names for various web-based services, including e-mail. Acting as the internet's phonebook, DNS converts human-readable names to IP addresses, then changes IP addresses back to names. However, the DNS (Domain Name System) has not been created using a security-by-design approach. Like many Internet protocols, the DNS system was not designed with security in mind and contains several design limitations.
High Cost of Development Impedes Market Development
Due to the high cost of developing and innovating DNS Security Software, the market for this software may experience a decrease in market growth. In particular, with the development of the network, hacker attacks come and go, and DNS security software developers must pay more attention to research and development to be able to effectively defend against all kinds of attacks. Otherwise, DNS security software will not be able to provide security to customers with effective security. Meanwhile, the DNS security software will reduce the feasibility of losing the credibility of customers, and then lose the market.
Region Overview:United States dominated the DNS Security Software market in 2022, with a market share of 47.30%.
Company Overview:Cisco
Cisco Systems, Inc., commonly known as Cisco, is an American-based multinational digital communications technology conglomerate corporation headquartered in San Jose, California.
