Analysis of Firewall Management Market applications and companies active in the industry: Global Market Insights Inc.
The latest Firewall Management Market analysis and research report talks about major applications of Firewall Management, growth of these segments as well as offers insights into companies active in this industry and their information. Firewall Management Market size is anticipated to witness substantial growth during the forecast time span owing to rising instances of security breaches by unauthorized external agents. Intruders can gain access to a system for malicious purposes such as extraction of sensitive information, remote login, session hijacking, DDoS attack, trojan backdoor, or cookie theft. Furthermore, hackers can hack into an organization’s system and extract its clients’ personal and financial information or use the organization’s connection for launching viruses and worms from that system, leading to the loss of reputation. In June 2017, the PLATINUM hacker group designed and launched a system altering the Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) to bypass the Windows Firewall. It permitted attackers to exploit AMT’s Serial-over-LAN feature to run their code on their operating systems and send files, such as new payloads, to develop and run new versions of their malware.
Increasing number of compliance and regulatory mandates is further driving the firewall management market growth. For instance, the PCI DSS, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have established configuration standards that include a list of requirements for a firewall at each internet connection. High costs and complexity are the major factors restraining the growth of the firewall management market. Firewall management is resource-intensive and includes administration, log monitoring, responsive action planning, and management for security and device health events. It requires a very high level of expertise for the prevention of unauthorized access and expensive breaches and will further increase the overall deployment and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the upkeep of the systems is high as cybercrime is continuously evolving. The complexity of an organization’s network can lead to errors in analyzing the scalability of the security system and hamper the firewall management market growth. Many organizations have multiple vendor deployments as opposed to single vendor
