Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a relatively new technology that combines secure web gateway capabilities with enterprise network access. It provides secure access to cloud services and applications while also protecting against cyber threats.

The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Market was valued at 1.52 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 25% in the forecasted period (2023-2030) due to its ability to provide comprehensive security features without sacrificing performance or usability. Moreover, factors like increasing adoption of cloud-based applications, growing awareness of security risks and advancements in technology artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation are contributing to the growing adoption of SASE solutions, driving the market's projected growth.

• Based on offering, the market is bifurcated into network as a service, and security as a service. Among these, the security as a service segment is holding significant share of the market due to the increasing need for robust security measures to protect against cyber threats, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
• Based on the component, the market is bifurcated into software defined WAN, and cloud access security broker. Among these, the cloud access broker segment is holding major share of the market this is because CASB solutions provide comprehensive security features such as data encryption, threat detection, and compliance management, which are essential for securing access to cloud-based applications. The software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) segment, on the other hand, is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period, driven by the increasing adoption of hybrid and cloud-based networks.
• Based on the vertical, the market is segmented into government, BFSI, retail & e-commerce, IT & telecom, and others. Among these, the BFSI segment is a major shareholder due to the due to the high demand for secure access to cloud-based applications and sensitive data within the industry. The BFSI sector is highly regulated, and any breach of security can lead to severe legal and financial consequences, making it essential for these organizations to invest in advanced security measures such as those provided by SASE solutions.
• For a better understanding of the market adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. North America is dominating the market due to the early adoption of cloud computing and remote work trends in the region, creating a strong demand for secure access to cloud-based resources. Additionally, the presence of established technology giants such as Cisco Systems, Inc., Intel Corporation, and Palo Alto Networks, Inc. in the region has driven innovation and adoption of SASE solutions. Moreover, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by factors such as increasing internet penetration, growing adoption of cloud-based applications, and improving network infrastructure.
