SSL VPN Market Overview:
Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) facilitates access to restricted network resources through an authenticated and secure pathway by encrypting the network traffic. This protocol obtains an improved level of compatibility with configurations and client platforms over traditional protocols irrespective of geographic locations. SSL VPN operates through three major modes of remote access, including clientless or web VPN, thin-client or port forwarding, and tunnel mode or full network access. Advantages of SSL VPN include secure connection with remote endpoint device without any additional client software installment, ease of use, improved performance, accessed via standard web browser, and others.
The global SSL VPN market is segmented based on mode of remote access, component, organization size, and geography. As per mode of remote access, the market is categorized into clientless mode, thin-client mode, and tunnel. On the basis of organization size, it is bifurcated into large and small & mid-size. Geographically, the SSL VPN market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Top Investment Pockets
The following graph signifies the growth potential of the global SSL VPN market. The tunnel mode occupied the largest market share in 2016, owing to increase in enterprises using SSL VPN to secure data from unauthorized accesses on remote places.
Increase in Demand for Secure Remote Access for Employees, Customers, & Business Partners
Companies seek to offer secure remote access for business partners, employees, and customers to protect their data from possible external threats. The challenge is to provide access through critical legacy applications in a modest way. SSL VPNs provide a plug-n-play alternative to conventional modes of secure remote access for mobile users or for partners/customers. This has fueled the demand for SSL VPN technology among various organizations across the world.
Growth in Number of Cyber-attacks
Organizations are expanding their businesses at a notable pace, owing to technological advancements, supportive government legislations, and high internet penetration worldwide. However, this has made the company data highly vulnerable to external threats such as spyware, malware, viruses, Trojans, and others. Number of cyber-attacks or hacking attempts have significantly increased over the last few years, which has urged organizations to adopt secure and more private ways to offer remote access to a company’s private data. Thus, SSL VPN is a viable solution, and hence has witnessed significant adoption over the years.
Vulnerability of SSL Protocol to External Threats
SSL VPN protocol offers security to remote access of data through a standard web browser. However, without installation of security software on endpoint devices, the security through SSL VPN can be vulnerable to external threats. Data can be hampered or hacked by an intruder without appropriate preventive measures such as antivirus software. This has limited the capabilities of SSL VPN to protect the sensitive data and offer full network security.
Surge in Demand for Cloud-based Security Solutions
Increase in need for low-cost, convenient, and flexible security solutions and rise in awareness about IT security have fueled the adoption of cloud-based SSL VPN solutions and services among end users, owing to easy availability of the products and improved performance.
