硬体防火墙市场 - 2024 年至 2029 年预测Hardware Firewall Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
硬体防火墙,也称为网路防火墙设备,是放置在内部网路之间的实体设备。硬体防火墙的工作原理是检查资料封包并根据安全规则决定是否允许或阻止它们。网路安全的重要组成部分,可防止未授权存取、恶意软体和其他网路威胁。日益增加的网路安全威胁、物联网 (IoT) 的快速发展以及严格的监管合规性是支援硬体防火墙产业显着成长的关键驱动力。
物联网是指由互连设备、车辆、家用电器等组成的网络,其中包含感测器、软体和网路连接,以实现资料的收集和交换。硬体防火墙对于确保物联网设备及其产生的资料的安全性、隐私性和可靠性至关重要。对物联网日益增长的需求和政府支持正在推动对硬体防火墙的需求。例如,2023年,拜登政府启动了美国Cybertrust Mark,这是一项针对物联网设备的网路安全标籤计划,旨在保护美国客户。该计划旨在提高智慧冰箱、微波炉、电视、空调系统和健身追踪器等常见设备的网路安全标准。
不断上升的网路安全威胁将推动硬体防火墙市场的成长。
硬体防火墙是网路安全防御的坚实且重要的组成部分,透过保护您的网路免受各种网路威胁和未授权存取(例如骇客攻击和恶意软体)的影响,确保网路和关键资料的完整性、机密性和可用性。不断上升的网路威胁和确保资料隐私的需求正在加速对硬体防火墙市场的需求。例如,《健康保险流通与责任法案》(HIPAA) 杂誌上发表的报导发现,2009 年至 2022 年间,向 HHS 民权办公室报告了 500 多起健康资料外洩事件,据称导致382,262,109份医疗记录外洩。
硬体防火墙有助于防止未经授权的使用者存取您组织的网路和资源,并阻止恶意流量(例如恶意软体和病毒)进入您组织的网路。例如,HIPAA(健康保险互通性和课责法案)要求以电子格式提交健康资讯的健康计划、医疗保健资讯交换所和医疗保健提供者需要维持合理且适当的管理、技术和实体保障措施,以保护资讯和资讯安全。这是政府为减少网路威胁带来的风险而实施的众多法规之一。这就是其中之一。
预计北美将主导市场。
预计北美将在硬体防火墙市场中占据主要份额。网路犯罪的增加和政府的持续惰性作为正在刺激对硬体防火墙的需求。根据 Palo Alto Networks 2022 年的报告,近 70% 的网路事件是由网路钓鱼和软体漏洞造成的。根据该报告,威胁行为者使用的三大初始存取媒介是网路钓鱼、软体漏洞利用和针对远端桌面通讯协定(RDP)的暴力破解凭证攻击。这凸显了网路犯罪的普遍性以及对强有力的网路安全措施的迫切需要以保护敏感资料和网路。北美是 Palo Alto Networks、Cisco、SonicWall、Juniper Networks 和 Fortinet 等主要企业的所在地。
硬体防火墙产业的成长可能会受到替代技术和解决方案的出现的限制,这些技术和解决方案可能会取代或减少对硬体防火墙的需求。例如,提供可扩展性和弹性的云端基础的安全解决方案,以及用于即时管理网路流量的软体定义网路 (SDN) 控制器,有可能减少对硬体防火墙的需求。这些替代解决方案对市场扩张构成了挑战,要求公司进行调整和形势,以便在不断变化的竞争形势中保持竞争力。
A hardware firewall, also known as a network firewall appliance, is a physical device that is placed between internal networks. Hardware firewalls work by examining data packets and determining whether to allow or block them based on security rules. They are an essential component of network security, protecting unauthorized access, malware, and other cyber threats. Increasing cybersecurity threats, the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) along stringent regulatory compliance has emerged as significant driving force behind the substantial growth of the hardware firewall industry.
Internet of Things refers to the network of interconnected devices, vehicles, appliances, and other items embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity that enable them to collect and exchange data. Hardware firewalls are crucial for ensuring the security, privacy, and reliability of IoT devices and the data they generate. The increasing demand for the Internet of Things coupled with government support has propelled the need for the hardware firewall. For instance, in 2023, The Biden administration launched the US Cyber Trust Mark cybersecurity labelling program for IoT devices to protect American customers. The program aims to raise the bar for cybersecurity across common devices, such as smart refrigerators, microwaves, televisions, climate control systems, fitness trackers, and more.
The rise in cybersecurity threats drives hardware firewall market growth.
A hardware firewall provides a robust and essential layer of cybersecurity defense, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of networks and critical data by protecting networks from a wide range of cyber threats and unauthorized access attempts such as hacking and malware. The rise in cyber threats along with the need to ensure data privacy has accelerated the demand for the hardware firewall market. For instance, according to an article published in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) journal, between 2009 and 2022, 5,150 healthcare data breaches of 500 or more records have been reported to the HHS' Office for Civil Rights, resulting in the exposure of 382,262,109 healthcare records.
Hardware firewalls can help prevent unauthorized users from accessing an organization's network and its resources and block malicious traffic, such as malware and viruses, from entering an organization's network. Compliance requirements and regulations in various industries, such as finance, healthcare, and government sectors have boosted the demand for hardware firewall market For instance, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and healthcare providers who transmit health information in the electronic form to maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for protecting patient health information, highlighting one of the numerous regulatory compliances implemented by the government to mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats.
North America is expected to dominate the market.
North America is projected to account for a major share of the hardware firewall market. The rising prevalence of cybercrime along with continuous government inactivates are stimulating the hardware firewall demand. According to a 2022 report by Palo Alto Networks, phishing, and software vulnerabilities cause nearly 70% of cyber incidents. According to the report, the top three initial access vectors used by threat actors were phishing, exploitation of software vulnerabilities, and brute-force credential attacks focused on remote desktop protocol (RDP) underscoring the prevalence of cybercrime and the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data and networks. North America is home to some of the leading hardware firewall companies such as Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, SonicWall, Juniper Networks, Inc., and Fortinet, Inc.
The growth of the hardware firewall industry may be restrained by the emergence of alternative technologies or solutions that can potentially replace or reduce the demand for hardware firewalls. For instance, cloud-based security solutions offering scalability and flexibility and software-defined networking (SDN) controllers used to manage network traffic in real-time have the potential to reduce the need for hardware firewalls. These alternative solutions pose a challenge to the market's expansion and may require the hardware firewall industry to adapt and innovate to remain competitive in a changing landscape.
