Major trends in the forecast period include zero trust network access control, post quantum identity authentication, dynamic access policy enforcement, cloud based perimeter security, secure microsegmentation architecture.

The rising frequency of targeted cyberattacks is expected to drive growth in the quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market. Targeted cyberattacks are deliberate attempts to hack specific individuals, organizations, or systems. The increase in these attacks is fueled by the expansion of digital attack surfaces, as the growing number of connected devices and cloud platforms provides more entry points for malicious actors. Quantum-safe software-defined perimeter (SDP) solutions protect networks by using quantum-resistant encryption to secure access and prevent unauthorized intrusions. For example, in February 2023, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., an Israel-based cybersecurity provider, reported a 38% increase in cyberattacks in 2022 compared to the previous year, with organizations experiencing an average of 1,168 attacks per week.

Companies in the quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market are emphasizing next-generation firewalls to strengthen network security against quantum computing threats. Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) integrate traditional firewall functionalities with deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application awareness, and threat intelligence to defend against advanced cyberattacks. For instance, in July 2025, Fortinet Inc., a US-based cybersecurity firm, introduced FortiOS 7.6 with quantum-safe features to protect sensitive data from emerging quantum threats. The platform offers strong encryption algorithms, secure key distribution, safeguards for FortiGate NGFWs and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solutions, and facilitates a seamless transition to post-quantum security, mitigating risks such as harvest-now, decrypt-later (HNDL) attacks.

In May 2025, Keyfactor Inc., a U.S.-based provider of digital trust, identity management, and cryptographic lifecycle management solutions, acquired InfoSec Global Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Keyfactor intends to enhance its quantum-safe security capabilities by incorporating advanced cryptographic asset discovery, real-time risk monitoring, and automated remediation to accelerate enterprise adoption of post-quantum cryptography. InfoSec Global Ltd., based in Canada, offers cryptographic agility management solutions that enable organizations to inventory, manage, and secure their cryptographic assets across complex IT environments.

This quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

A quantum-safe software-defined perimeter (SDP) is a security framework that enforces strict, identity-based access to protect network resources. Operating on a zero-trust principle, it permits connections only after verifying users or devices and establishes secure, temporary communication channels.

The core elements of quantum-safe SDPs include solutions and services. Solutions combine software-defined perimeter architectures with post-quantum cryptography to defend networks and data against both current and future quantum-enabled cyber threats. They can be deployed on-premises or in cloud environments and are suitable for organizations of all sizes, from SMEs to large enterprises. Applications include network security, data protection, access control, and compliance management, with primary end-users spanning banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, government, IT and telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, and other sectors.

The quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as quantum-resistant encryption integration, zero-trust network access, access management, and secure application access. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market also includes sales of cryptographic hardware modules, secure remote access devices, quantum-safe network switches, and secure application delivery controllers. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers.
