Description
Global cybersecurity company AlgoSec has published its annual report analyzing the current network security landscape for 2024 and 2025 [2], focusing on key trends and technologies [2]. The report highlights significant shifts in cloud platform adoption [2], firewall deployment [2], Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SDWAN) [2], Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) implementation [1] [2], and the role of AI in security [2].
Key findings include:
-
Security Visibility Gaps: 71% of security teams report struggles with visibility [2], impacting threat detection and response due to insufficient insight into application connectivity and security policies [2].
-
Firewall and SDWAN Adoption: Despite complexities in multi-vendor strategies, firewall adoption continues to grow [2], with Palo Alto Networks leading the market [2]. SDWAN adoption has seen a notable increase, with Fortinet’s market share rising from 19.1% in 2024 to 25.8% in 2025 [2].
-
Zero-Trust and SASE Momentum: Awareness of zero-trust principles is at a peak, with 56% of businesses implementing it to some extent [2], while an additional 20% are still in the learning phase. SASE adoption is also on the rise [2], with Zscaler holding a 35% market share and Netskope gaining 15% [2].
-
AI and Automation in Security: AI-driven tools are enhancing real-time threat detection, although challenges related to implementation and privacy persist [1] [2]. Automation is increasingly prioritized [1], particularly in application connectivity [1] [2], to reduce risk and downtime [1] [2].
Eran Shiff [2], VP of Product at AlgoSec [2], emphasized the importance of securing network infrastructure as businesses expand into hybrid and multi-cloud environments [2]. He noted that the focus on automation, orchestration [1] [2], and risk mitigation is intensifying as critical security priorities.
Conclusion
The report underscores the critical need for enhanced visibility and integration of advanced technologies in network security. As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid and multi-cloud environments [2], the emphasis on automation and orchestration becomes paramount to mitigate risks and ensure robust security frameworks. The ongoing evolution in firewall, SDWAN [2], and SASE adoption [2], coupled with AI advancements, will shape the future of cybersecurity, necessitating continuous adaptation and strategic planning.
