Quantum-Safe Software-Defined Perimeter Market Report 2025

The quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2024 to $1.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.3%. During the historical period, growth was driven by the rising demand for secure cloud access, heightened regulatory requirements for data protection, increased use of unsecured public networks, greater dependence on third-party vendors, and a higher incidence of advanced persistent threats (APTs).

The quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.9%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by increasing focus on quantum-resistant security approaches, higher demand for secure remote access solutions, wider adoption of identity-centric security frameworks, greater emphasis on compliance with data privacy regulations, and growing concerns about long-term data confidentiality. Key trends anticipated include the adoption of post-quantum encryption, development of identity-first security architectures, innovations in access control mechanisms, expansion of zero-trust implementation strategies, and deployment of hybrid cryptographic models.

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.

The growing adoption of cloud-based solutions is also expected to boost the quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market. Cloud-based solutions deliver computing power, storage, and applications over the internet, removing the need for on-site infrastructure. The rise in cloud usage is driven by remote and hybrid work models, which require flexible, scalable, and accessible services. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud platforms, sensitive data becomes more exposed, creating demand for quantum-safe SDPs that use encryption resistant to quantum computing threats. For instance, in December 2023, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office, reported that 45.2% of enterprises purchased cloud computing services in 2023, up from 41% in 2021.

Companies in the quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market are focusing on next-generation firewalls to enhance network security against quantum threats. Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) combine traditional firewall functions with deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application awareness, and threat intelligence to protect against sophisticated cyberattacks. For example, in July 2025, Fortinet Inc., a US-based cybersecurity company, launched FortiOS 7.6 with quantum-safe capabilities to secure sensitive data against emerging quantum computing threats. The platform supports robust encryption algorithms, secure key distribution, protection for FortiGate NGFWs and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solutions, and enables a smooth transition to post-quantum security, addressing risks such as harvest-now, decrypt-later (HNDL) attacks.

Major players in the quantum-safe software-defined perimeter market are Microsoft Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, Broadcom Inc., Palo Alto Networks Inc., Fortinet Inc., Thales Group, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., Unisys Corporation, Zscaler Inc., Cloudflare Inc., Entrust Corporation, BlackBerry Limited, Cato Networks Ltd., Versa Networks Inc., SP Telecommunications Pte Ltd., ISARA Corporation, Arqit Quantum Inc., Quantum Xchange, PQShield Ltd., and evolutionQ Inc.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.

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.
