Network Access Control Market

Network Access Control Market Insights:

The global network access control market is experiencing a rapid growth, and is expected to grow significantly with increase in new modes of user interactions across enterprises. Network access control or NAC is the solution that supports access management and network visibility through policy enforcement on users as well as devices of corporate networks. In organizations, exponential use of mobile devices to access their networks cause security risks, it is necessary to have tools that provide the access control, visibility, and compliance capabilities required for enhanced network security infrastructure. The NAC system denies network access to devices that are noncompliant, or give only restricted access of computing resources to them, which avoids insecure nodes to infect the network infrastructure.

Impact of COVID-19 on Network Access Control Market: 

• The pandemic caused enormous challenges for industries across the globe to continue their operations despite of massive offices and facilities shutdowns. 
• Organizations are being forced to adapt to novel working methods using information technology and its essentials such as data centers, departmental servers, cloud systems, and the digital devices of their remotely operating employees which is used to stay connected to each other and to access company’s data. As a result, demand for digital infrastructure is growing rapidly. 
• Exponential use of information technologies has become more lucrative and bigger target for cybercriminals. 
• Cybersecurity efforts of organizations need to be upgraded for data security on networks and digital devices that have become vital to companies in recent times. 

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

The bring your own device (BYOD) trend has led to rise in security concerns, as unwanted devices or unauthorized users can introduce network breaches. It contributes toward increase in demand for network access control solutions across organizations. The ease of deployment, improved effectiveness, and reduced system complexity of these solutions is further leading to expansion. In addition, large-scale adoption of Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks is instrumental to significantly drive the market. However, the higher initial investment hinders the growth of the market to some extent. On the contrary, growth in privacy and security concerns around the globe provide lucrative opportunities for the network access control market in next few years. 

The global network access control market trends are as follows:

Emergence of next-generation Network Access Control solutions 

Next-generation network access control solutions offers ability to control and detect endpoints, applications, network devices, and even users.  The next generation NAC solution uses this information to detect & remediate policy violations and security misconfigurations; also, it feeds information to security incident & event management (SIEM) systems and asset management systems (AMS) for event correlation and incident response.

The automated remediation is most important element of next generation Network Access Control.  The hackers are automating their operations; hence, organizations must need to automate responses to keep pace, and next generation network access control solutions help to meet this requirement.

Proliferation of IoT and the convergence of IT/OT networks. 

The IoT proliferation as well as convergence of information technology (IT) & operation technology (OT) networks is expanding the vulnerability of enterprise infrastructure. The network perimeter is now an amorphous grouping of partner integrations and endpoints that must be secured. Organizations are adopting Network Access Control solutions to secure endpoints in both pre-connect and post-connect scenarios, along with automating threat response for reducing the risk. 

Enormous trend of Internet of Things (IoT) devices made it essential for organizations to improve their visibility into what is attached to their networks.
