Zero trust security is one of the key trends. SDP solutions play a key role in deploying zero trust concepts, which presuppose that there could be threats both within and outside the network. SDP vendors are continually innovating with technologies like micro-segmentation. This further isolates resources, minimizing the attack surface for malicious users. Cloud adoption is propelling the evolution of cloud-native SDP solutions. Increased BYOD trend has boosted the usage of SDP solutions.

IoT device growth has brought in new security risks, which in turn have fuelled the demand for SDP solutions. They secure IoT landscapes by making certain that only those devices that have been authenticated have access to the network, and thus no intrusion is possible. There is a trend towards considering user experience within the SDP solutions. With enterprises embracing a more distributed cloud infrastructure, the old-fashioned & centralized SDP solutions may not be ideal. The trend is shifting with current solutions, and decentralized SDP solutions are now becoming a reality.

Software Defined Perimeter Market Analysis
Discover more about the primary segments driving this market

On the basis of component, the market has been segmented into solution and service. The solution segment held more than 77% market share in 2023. SDP solutions provide end-to-end security features addressing various facets of network security. Contemporary IT landscapes are more complicated with a blend of on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. Their effectiveness in securing dynamic & distributed environments is a strong driver for their adoption.

SDP solutions are engineered to be easily integrated with the current IT & security infrastructure, such as Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, and other network security solutions. For example, in May 2024, Palo Alto Networks introduced new security solutions with precision AI to protect against sophisticated threats and secure AI adoption.

Segmented by end use, the software defined perimeter market is classified as BFSI, government & defense, healthcare, IT & telecommunications, manufacturing, retail & ecommerce, and others. BFSI is anticipated to capture more than USD 5.2 billion by 2032. The BFSI industry deals with extremely sensitive and confidential data such as personal information, financial transactions, and transaction data. Safeguarding this data from breaches and unauthorized access is very important. SDP solutions provide secure security features like micro-segmentation, end-to-end encryption, and strong access controls that make them the best choice to protect sensitive financial information.

BFSI is governed by strong regulatory requirements and compliance standards like GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOX. BFSI is rapidly going digital with high usage of online banking, mobile payments, and digital financial services. This transition demands a reliable network infrastructure that can safeguard against cyber attacks. For example, in February 2024, India’s Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector is preparing to experience a year of dynamic change, fueled by strong technological changes, talent sourcing strategies, and an unwavering focus on diversity & inclusion.
