Worldwide Cloud Firewall Management Market - Drivers' Opportunities' Trends' and Forecast: 2016-2022
The cloud environment is considered by network and security administrators due to the lack of an updated firewall technology. Most of the public cloud firewalls are ordinary and offer little in terms of security configuration controls. With problems arising' developments have been made in the network to overcome the struggle with development & maintenance of network-based firewall rules set in the cloud. Currently' most of the vendors are trying to simplify firewall management and work on automation frameworks and platforms to help with rule management and monitoring. The cloud-based firewall provides secure cloud adoption and also provides inbound and outbound internet access via a secured hosted gateway. It offers scalability with a rise in bandwidth' high availability through a robust infrastructure and backup strategies in case of a site failure' and availability beyond boundaries of any single service provider's network. The cloud firewall management is a very interesting topic among enterprise security architects and employees.

The firewalls were being used for protecting corporate networks from internet attackers or professional hackers. The firewalls use a different set of network layer rules for the determination of the traffic entering and leaving the network. With the bandwidth increasing' firewalls need to work faster and improve. The new technologies being used increase the firewall capability of inspecting traffic faster and more intelligently. This paved the way for the use of anti-virus' VPN' intrusion detection' content filtering' and DLP.
With the changing applications and information being transferred' there has to be proper tracking. Moreover' when the internet became ubiquitous across the organizations' not everyone required access to applications. Hence' the end-user became important to firewalls. Thus' some users chose not to use traditional ports for greater efficiency and getting success in packet transit. With cloud collaboration' the traditionally internal applications will be outside the network. The network will be there in the cloud jostling for user's bandwidth with the external applications - this will increase the flexibility and compatibility within the networks. The cloud firewall management market is still in its initial stage as providers have just started the concept of cloud computing in firewall security solutions. The market for cloud firewall management is expected to reach $2'676.0 million by 2022.
