Global Security Vendors Focus on Holistic Web Protection Solutions to Fulfill Rising Demand for Optimal User Experience
Investing in more advanced protection tools such as machine learning and auto policy generation will create new growth opportunities, finds Frost & Sullivan
SANTA CLARA, California, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With even low-tech industries embracing digital transformation due to the need to support modern technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Frost & Sullivan expects the market for holistic web protection solutions to near $2.6 billion by 2022, according to its recent analysis. The interconnectedness of networks has multiplied the number of vulnerabilities, compelling businesses to invest in an array of website security solutions to defend against cyber threats. Although these technologies are expected to work in complementary layers, they often function as disjointed patchworks of siloed point products. This has created a strong need to integrate multiple essential security technologies into a single, easily deployable service.

"In the past, implementing web security usually required a trade-off in performance, but with rising customer demand for a completely frictionless user experience, security vendors now offer a unified solution that does not hamper the end-user experience in any way," said Chris Rodriguez, Digital Transformation Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Holistic web protection solutions integrate essential security technologies, including distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, web application firewall (WAF), and bot risk management to ensure end-to-end protection of web applications and related infrastructure."
