Abstract
This IDC study provides an overview and comparison of options in the network edge security-as-a-service (NESaaS) market. The need to consolidate security technologies into a single technology stack has emerged as a top-of-mind concern in recent years, driven by practical business considerations around tightening budgets, limited staffing, and numerous complex security and regulatory requirements. In response, vendors have raced to fill in the gaps in their portfolios and to unify multiple, existing, discrete security technologies into a single coherent platform. As a result, the NESaaS market has emerged as one of the most important developments for security buyers as well as a focal point for security vendors.
"The NESaaS market is developing quickly and offers a vast complexity of options," says Pete Finalle, research manager for IDC's Security and Trust practice. "In theory, NESaaS could be a simple bundling exercise, but in practice, it is much more involved as vendors race to deliver truly beneficial security outcomes for enterprises."
