Network Security Companies

The network security market is projected to grow from USD 84.50 billion in 2025 to USD 119.70 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during the forecast period. The market is driven by the increasing need to secure highly distributed branch environments, operational technology (OT) networks, and API-driven application ecosystems. As enterprises modernize networks with virtualization, containers, and edge computing, they require advanced segmentation, micro-segmentation, and workload-aware security controls to limit lateral movement. The surge in identity-centric attacks is also pushing organizations to adopt identity-based access enforcement, continuous authentication, and adaptive threat prevention.

The network security market is led by some globally established players, such Cisco (US), Palo Alto Networks (US), Fortinet (US), Check Point (US), Trend Micro (Japan), Verizon (US), IBM (US), Broadcom (US), Juniper Networks (US), Akamai (US), Netskope (US), Microsoft (US), CrowdStrike (US), Zscaler (US), Cloudflare (US), AWS (US), OpenText (Canada), Hillstone Networks (US), Barracuda Networks (US), and Huawei (China). These market players have adopted various strategies, including product launches, partnerships, contracts, expansions, and acquisitions, to strengthen their market position. Organic and inorganic strategies have enabled market players to expand globally by providing advanced security and vulnerability management solutions.
