Organizations’ traditional attack surfaces have grown in size due to the many physical and virtual network environments and traffic volume. There is a new network reality with increasing complexity that organizations need to consider due to open and virtual architectures, multi-cloud scale including hybrid clouds, a mix of applications, global access, and outsourced data centers.

Cloud and high-speed Ethernet continue to drive the network security testing market growth. There is a rising need to validate the cloud-scale and the traffic and test between different cloud deployments, web servers, and database servers validating those test scenarios. Companies are looking for simple security solutions. However, the increasing complexity of cyber threats is driving the demand for more sophisticated security testing mechanisms.

This Frost & Sullivan research service analyzes the global network security testing market from 2019 to 2025, with 2020 as the base year, and provides an in-depth look at the dynamics influencing and challenging the market. It covers virtual private network (VPN) testing, next-generation-firewalls (NGFWs) testing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection, intrusion prevention/detection systems (IPS/IDS), and data leakage prevention (DLP), universal resource locator (URL), unified threat management (UTM) testing, and content security filtering functions. The study only includes hardware sales and excludes software, maintenance, and support services.
