The growing need to unlock widespread Zero Trust adoption indeed benefits the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework. Both Zero Trust and SASE are complementary approaches that address modern cybersecurity challenges and can work together to enhance overall security and access control. The growing need for Zero Trust adoption highlights the importance of identity-centric access controls, data protection, and dynamic security measures. As a result, SASE becomes a more appealing solution as it aligns with these principles and complements Zero Trust in providing a robust and adaptive security framework for the modern enterprise. Organizations which are seeking to enhance their cybersecurity posture are considering the benefits of adopting both Zero Trust and SASE strategies in tandem.

Moreover, as the organizations face stricter compliance requirements, they are turning to SASE as a comprehensive solution to address security, privacy, and access control challenges. Many countries and regions have implemented stringent data privacy and protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. These laws require organizations to implement robust security measures to safeguard personal data. SASE, with its centralized security policies, encryption capabilities, and identity-based access controls, helps organizations comply with these regulations by securing data both in transit and at rest.

Segment Analysis

The global Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) market has been segmented based on Offering, Component, Organization Size, and Vertical.

Based on offering, the global Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) market segmentation includes Network as a Service and Security as a Service. The Security as a Service segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing around ~56 % to the market revenue.  Security as a Service provides organizations with cloud-native security solutions that integrate seamlessly with cloud environments and deliver a comprehensive set of security services. By leveraging SecaaS within the SASE framework, organizations can achieve a unified and scalable security approach that protects their network, data, and applications while enabling secure access from anywhere.

Based on Organization Size, the global Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) market segmentation includes SME’s and Large Enterprises. SME’S are anticipated to grow at the highest during the forecast period. SASE is helping SMEs in many different ways such as putting their vital business apps within a safe, vendor-managed perimeter to lessen their vulnerability to online dangers, ability to scale up and down the security of remote user access with integrated multi-factor authentication and single sign-on. Further, access to corporate resources might be permitted or prohibited via managed or unmanaged devices depending on visibility and control. External Internet traffic is scanned at the network level to guard against malware, bots, and IoT compromise. Data integrity and safety are ensured by controlling sensitive data access in the cloud through a single secure platform.

Based on the Component, the global Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) market segmentation includes software-defined wan (SD-WAN), cloud access security broker (CASB), secure web gateway (SWG), firewall as a service (FWaaS), and zero-trust network access (ZTNA). Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA, anticipated to grow at the highest during the forecast period. ZTNA focuses on identity as the primary factor for granting access to resources. Users and devices are authenticated and authorized based on their identity and specific attributes before accessing applications and data. ZTNA is especially valuable for securing access for remote and mobile users who may be connecting from untrusted networks. By continuously verifying user identities and devices, ZTNA ensures secure access regardless of the user's location.

Based on Vertical, the global Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) market segmentation includes government, BFSI, retail & E-commerce, IT And telecommunication, healthcare, and others. By Vertical, the BFSI segment holds the majority market share in 2022 contributing 58.3 % of the market share.
