With organizations pushing for BYOD and an increase in adoption of mobile devices, the Global WLAN Security Market is slated to post a CAGR of 20.01 percent from 2014-2019.
The Global WLAN Security market thrives on the growing demand from WLAN-savvy organizations where data transmission requirements can scale up to a whopping 600 Mbps.
Key Insights by Market Analysts
While showcasing trends that fuel adoption of WLAN Security, TechNavio analysts observe:
The use of mobile devices, along with better access to wireless services at increased speeds, has made content sharing easier and faster. Organizations are providing employees with WLAN access through their adoption of BYOD policy.
Though such measures enable flexibility to work within organizations, it also brings forth the need to secure business critical data by implementing WLAN Security.
Data Security is the Main Concern
Increased adoption of WLAN mandates the adoption of WLAN Security. While WLAN helps in accessing data over the cloud or on demand at high speeds, networks remain susceptible to threats.
Networks can be accessed through a number of devices, thus increasing the possibility of cyber-attacks. Such lapses have resulted in data thefts, causing catastrophic losses for organizations. It can severely impact organizations especially if the data is valuable and sensitive, or related to financial information or confidential employee-related data.
How Can WLAN Security Save Enterprises from Loss?
WLAN Security does not allow connections to any external or unrecognized device onto the network. This feature is much sought after as it prevents the possibility of insecure data being transferred over the network.
Authorized visitor WLAN Security ensures network connection only for devices with authorization from the network administrator. As the access is given only to authorized users, the network is secure. But, as the network contains external data, there is also a chance of fraudulent data entering the network. Authorized visitor WLAN also controls network access for preventing such attacks.
Future of WLAN Security Market
The EMEA and APAC regions are expected to witness growth because of government regulations along with a surge in SME activities in these regions. As the more Governments and SMEs move toward WLAN adoption, the WLAN Security market up for encouraging times ahead.
In the near future, The Global WLAN Security market will ride on the adoption of mobile devices and the need for high-speed data transmission across networks. And, as data transmission networks are prone to cyber-attacks, installation of WLAN Security remains imperative.
