Software-Defined Security Market Research

by Global Market Research Analyst

Software-defined security (SDS) is a security model in which specialized software controls and manages information security in a computing environment. In software-managed, policy-driven, and governed security, most critical security controls are automated and monitored by software, such as intrusion detection, network segmentation, and access control.

A key concern is how to implement and introduce advanced security mechanisms to protect their assets and networks. A Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller has the capability of knowing the network topology and infrastructure. It also provides visibility into the traffic. As SDN logic and its architecture have evolved, controllers now offer integrated security functions as well. Among these functions are routing, firewall policies, and service chaining. These are implemented through the controller and controlled by software and applications.

According to the market database, this approach might utilize Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) concepts as a complementary approach. With the application of service chaining, the SDN controller may direct traffic flows dynamically to the appropriate network elements if and as needed. Security-Defined Software (SDS) is the overall model.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country, Connect Digital Security, a U.K.-based managed security services provider, had an advantage with secure remote access technology. As a result, the employees could pick up their machines, walk out the door, and work from home the next day. They could do anything remotely that they could do sitting at their desks in the office. Secure remote access technology connects geographically dispersed enterprise users to the resources they need to perform their jobs without endangering network security. According to the market database by 2022, 67% of employees will have the capability of working remotely. As employee mobility and device hopping increase, security leaders must ensure sensitive data isn't compromised.
