REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, robust demand for firewall solutions drove the total firewall market to surge 14 percent year-over-year (Y/Y) and approach $3 B in quarterly revenue in 2Q22. Revenue would have been higher had hardware appliance vendors kept pace with demand. Demand outstripped supply for the sixth consecutive quarter.
Additional highlights from the 2Q 2022 Network Security Quarterly Report:
