Content Delivery Network Security Market Analysis
The Content Delivery Network (CDN) Security Market is expected to register a CAGR of 26.57% during the forecast period. CDNs have been used to improve web performance through localized caching for the last two decades. The growth in mobile engagement and the demands for enhanced digital experience delivery are now pushing CDN providers to expand their performance-enhancing techniques to address the challenges of dynamic content, mobile, and video, as well as serving as the first line of defense against security threats.
- DNS protection is in high demand for e-commerce websites and government agencies, among other industries, to defend against emerging security vulnerabilities. Early adoption of advanced technologies, and the growing domination of popular social media and OTT platforms, have led to significant demand for CDN security growth throughout the forecast period.
- 5G is expected to fuel the demand for CDN security services. The deployment of 5G infrastructure will result in greater bandwidth, triggering a more significant demand for high-quality video services. Moreover, according to the Visual Networking Index's forecast of global Internet traffic, the proportion of smartphone users increased to 50% in the previous year from 23% early last year, with 79% of mobile traffic in video format.
- Another trend buoying this growth is the gradual shift from traditional CDNs to cloud-based CDNs. This use of cloud-based services is expected to drive the development of the CDN security market. Also, the growing penetration of connected things and enterprise mobility trends, coupled with the need to alleviate increasing cyber-attacks, such as DDoS, among enterprises, is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the CDN security market.
- A lack of adequate standards and processes may hamper the identification and control of video material. The increased use of video streaming services for movies and ads is to account for the rise in cyberattacks and viruses, forcing some significant organizations to establish their own CDN security to meet their needs.
- During COVID-19, the market was positively impacted. Several business operations shifted almost entirely to the web; people around the globe are now working, studying, shopping, and watching movies online. The increasing instances of DDoS and application layer security attacks drive the market growth after the pandemic.
