Edge Application Security Global Market Report 2025

The edge application security market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.36 billion in 2024 to $2.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the widespread adoption of smartphones and mobile applications, increased deployment of internet of things (IoT) sensors and beacons, rising use of location-based marketing and retail analytics, maturation of edge computing implementations, and growing regulatory focus on public safety and emergency services.

The edge application security market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.54 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for personalized and context-aware services, increasing deployment of edge computing and low-latency infrastructures, growing consumer preference for location-enabled experiences, and expansion of industry partnerships and managed service offerings. Key trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence (AI)-driven threat detection at the edge, hybrid edge-cloud security frameworks, proliferation of managed security services, micro-segmentation and network slicing, and edge-native security for industrial and smart city applications.

The rise in cybersecurity threats is expected to propel the growth of the edge application security market going forward. Cybersecurity threats refer to malicious attempts to access, damage, or disrupt computer systems, networks, or data. The increase in cybersecurity threats is driven by the growing centralization of digital asset storage, which creates single points of failure that are highly attractive to hackers. Edge application security helps address these threats by protecting data and applications at the network edge, making it essential for decentralized infrastructures. It improves threat visibility through real-time monitoring and AI-driven defenses, enhancing overall data security and system resilience. For instance, in July 2024, according to Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., an Israel-based cybersecurity company, cyberattacks on corporate networks increased, with a 30% rise in weekly attacks in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and a 25% rise from the first quarter of 2024. Therefore, the rise in cybersecurity threats is driving the growth of the edge application security market.

Key companies operating in the edge application security market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as artificial intelligence-driven threat detection, to enhance real-time threat identification and strengthen edge network protection. Artificial intelligence-driven threat detection refers to the use of AI and machine learning algorithms to automatically detect, analyze, and respond to potential security threats in real time. For instance, in June 2024, AI EdgeLabs, a US-based cybersecurity company, launched the AI Security Assistant (AISA), an artificial intelligence-driven threat detection tool. The platform automates alert categorization, provides detailed analyses of endpoint detection and response alerts, and generates AI-driven playbooks to guide security analysts. It integrates directly into its security platform and is designed to accelerate and simplify the work of security teams. Features include natural language querying for threat hunting, automated alert summarization, and one-click guided remediation, enabling seamless investigation and response to cyber threats with minimal operator intervention.

In January 2024, SonicWall Inc., a US-based cybersecurity company, acquired Banyan Security Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, SonicWall aims to strengthen its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) portfolio, enhance zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities, and expand its edge application security offerings to better protect distributed workforces and cloud-based environments. Banyan Security Inc. is a US-based zero-trust and secure access service edge (SASE) company specializing in edge application security solutions.

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.

This edge application security 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.

Edge application security refers to the protection of applications and data operating at the edge of a network, closer to end-users or connected devices, rather than centralized data centers. It safeguards edge environments from cyber threats by ensuring secure data transmission, maintaining application integrity, and enabling real-time threat detection. It reduces latency risks while ensuring compliance and privacy at distributed edge locations.

The key components of edge application security are solutions and services. Solutions are integrated software and hardware systems designed to protect digital assets from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber threats through real-time monitoring, detection, and response capabilities. They are deployed through on-premises and cloud models and cater to both large enterprises and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Key applications include network security, data security, endpoint security, web and application security, and others, serving end users such as banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, retail, manufacturing, information technology (IT) and telecom, government, energy and utilities, and others.

The edge application security market includes revenues earned by entities through threat monitoring and response, vulnerability assessment, incident management, security consulting, compliance management, and managed security services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
