The High Tide of Cloud Driven IT Transformation Coupled With the Focus on Security Spurs the Cloud Security Gateways Market

Growing adoption of cloud IT strategies and the resulting rise in data leakages and security and privacy issues is poised to drive the global market for Cloud Security Gateways to reach US$1.4 billion by 2024. The emergence of cloud computing has unleashed disruptive changes in businesses and their IT departments. The cloud revolution, which began over a decade ago has finally run its course, with virtually every company today being cloud enabled. By enabling a model of a utility computing, the cloud represents the ultimate in disruptive innovation. Cloud-delivered enterprise solutions by offering a simpler, cheaper, and more effective alternative to legacy models of enterprise computing, will be almost a sacrosanct need for companies to survive in the market. However, as companies flock to deploy the cloud in its various flavors – private, public and hybrid, data security and privacy issues are gaining in importance.  The ubiquity of cloud applications and use of mobile devices for accessing corporate data residing in the cloud is forcing companies to re-evaluate their security policies. Data is no longer at rest behind the corporate firewall like in traditional IT, but is rather stored on third party servers, travels across third party networks and finally resides on employee owned mobile devices. The traditional corporate network perimeter security technologies are therefore falling apart creating a strong business case for cloud security gateways (CSGs).

Also called as Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs), CSGs are defined as security policy enforcement solutions comprising of single sign on, encryption, tokenization, logging, API control, vormetric encryption and key management, that help protect cloud based resources. CSGs act as a gatekeeper for organizations accessing cloud resources, allowing them to extend the reach of security policies beyond their on-premise infrastructure. As full-scale cloud security tools, CSGs can effectively deal with various data risks posed by cloud computing  such as data breaches, data loss, data leakage, cloud service abuse, cloud account and/or service traffic hijacking, insecure interfaces & APIs, denial of service (DoS), threat from malicious insiders, and insufficient due diligence etc.  CSG typically deliver a reliable solution for access governance, information protection, advanced threat protection, and workload protection in enterprise cloud IT environments.

Few of the major factors driving growth in the market include growing cloud IT investments; inadequate security cover provided by cloud service providers (CSPs) and the need to fill the security gaps left open by CSPs for enterprises to resolve; unchecked/ undisclosed government surveillance against the backdrop of increased movement of sensitive corporate data into the cloud; growing diversity in cloud deployment among enterprises and the need to transition to the cloud confidently; and ballooning BYOD trend and the resulting threat of shadow IT. 

As stated by the new market research report on Cloud Security Gateways, The United States represents the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 38.3% over the analysis period, led by factors such as rise in the number of cloud ready Asian countries, spurt in the number of SMBs which are primarily adopters of public cloud services, and strong adoption of cloud IT technologies.

Major players in the market include AT&T Inc., Bitglass, Check Point Software, CipherCloud, Cisco Systems Inc., Forcepoint LLC, Fortinet Inc., Global Velocity Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., ManagedMethods Inc., McAfee Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Netskope, Oracle Corporation, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint Inc., Sophos Plc, Symantec Corporation, Thales eSecurity Inc., Trend Micro Inc., and Trustwave Holdings, among others.
