Data Center Security Solutions Downgraded
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – July 27, 2023 – According to a recently published report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, enterprise spend on network security technologies focused on campus, branch and user edge deployments will offset the increased weakness of data center security solutions.
“During the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic, spending on data center security solutions, such as high-end firewalls and web application firewalls, accelerated as enterprises put their digital transformation initiatives into high gear but now have been decelerating and are expected to do so for the next couple of years,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell’Oro Group. “Instead, we see an increased focus towards the campus and ensuring employees have the best possible online experience, whether in the office or remotely. While security service edge (SSE) has been and is expected to remain strong for remote work, we raised our forecast for mid- and low-end firewalls that are being deployed on-premises,” added Sanchez
