- By combining firewall capabilities with additional security functions, NGFWs are crucial for organizations seeking enhanced protection in today’s increasingly complex digital environments
- North America is expected to dominate the next-generation firewalls market with 35% due to early adoption of advanced cybersecurity technologies and a robust digital infrastructure
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the next-generation firewall market during the forecast period due to the initiative aim to enhance cybersecurity awareness and infrastructure, boosting NGFW adoption
- Large enterprises segment is expected to dominate the market with a market share of 70.70% due to its increasing need to enhance productivity, increase flexibility & agility by ensuring firewall security and protecting organizations from cyber-attack that can potentially disrupt the business processes
