Webアプリケーションファイアウォール市場動向

サイバー攻撃の増加

データプライバシーとサイバー脅威に関する懸念の高まりが、主に市場の成長を促進しています。さらに、データ侵害の事例が増加していることも、ハイエンドのデータプライバシーを促進するソリューションやソフトウェアの必要性を高めています。フォーブスが発表したレポートによると、2023年だけでも3億5,300万人以上がデータ侵害の影響を受けています。これを受けて、各国の政府当局はデータ漏洩の発生を減らすため、サイバーセキュリティに関するイニシアチブを取り、規制を課しています。さらに、一般データ保護規則（GDPR）やカリフォルニア州消費者プライバシー法（CCPA）などの規制が施行されたことで、企業は強固なデータ管理体制を整えることが求められています。例えば、2023年にはGDPR違反により、Meta、TikTok、X（旧Twitter）などの企業が30億米ドル以上の損害を被った。その結果、データガバナンスフレームワークを確立し、データプライバシー管理を実装し、規制要件へのコンプライアンスを確保するために、多くの企業がウェブアプリケーションファイアウォール（WAF）ソリューションを業務に組み込むようになってきています。さらに、特定の企業や政府の法律がWAFソリューションの採用を必要としており、これがWebアプリケーションファイアウォール市場のシェアをさらに押し上げています。例えば、PCI-DSSは、WAFの使用をサポートする有名かつ重要な基準です。

ハイブリッドワークモデルの採用増加

COVID-19の発生後、リモートワークの状況が急増し、Webアプリケーションファイアウォール市場の需要に有利になっています。在宅勤務の新たな動向は、組織が克服すべき新たな複雑な課題を生み出しています。2024年2月に実施された「リモートワークと報酬パルス調査」によると、従業員の48％がリモートワークの継続を希望しているのに対し、44％はハイブリッドワークモデルを望んでいます。さらに、51％の企業がハイブリッドワークのパラダイムを受け入れているが、完全な常時雇用の選択肢を提供する意向のある企業はわずか5％です。その結果、多くの企業は、在宅勤務システムのエンドポイント保護にセキュリティ対策の重点を置くようになりました。さらに、企業のセキュリティチームは、複数のオンライン・アプリケーションセキュリティの懸念に対処するために、より多くのリソースを必要としており、信頼性の高いWebアプリケーションファイアウォールに対する需要が高まっています。これに対応するため、さまざまな主要な市場参入企業が機能を向上させたWAFを投入しており、今後数年間でWebアプリケーションファイアウォール市場の収益を押し上げると予測されています。例えば、2023年4月、Akamai Technologies Inc.はProlexic Network Cloud Firewallを発表しました。この新しいAkamai Prolexicの機能により、企業や顧客はアクセス制御リスト（ACL）を定義と管理できるようになると同時に、AkamaiのクラウドベースのDDoS保護プラットフォームがネットワークエッジの安全性をより柔軟に高め、攻撃がアプリケーションやデータセンター、インターネットに面したインフラに到達する前に阻止することができます。

クラウドベースのWAFソリューションの登場

クラウドベースのWAFソリューションは、マルウェア、フィッシング、ランサムウェア、新たなサイバー脅威などの脆弱性に対する最善の防御を提供するソフトウェアパッケージとして提供されています。また、ユーザーがVPNに接続していないときでも、ネットワーク（VPN）を保護・防御します。さらに、オンプレミスのインフラを不要にするクラウドベースのデータ管理など、費用対効果の高いデータ管理ソリューションに対する需要の高まりは、Webアプリケーションファイアウォール市場の展望にプラスの影響を与えています。例えば、Cloud Security Allianceによると、北米では約80％の組織が、技術スタックを近代化し、ビジネスアプリケーションにインテリジェンスを注入するためにクラウド戦略を導入しています。その結果、さまざまな市場参入企業がクラウドベースのWAFソリューションの研究開発活動への投資を増やし、企業や個人に回復力のあるセキュリティサービスを提供しています。例えば、2023年6月、クラウド検証プロバイダーの第一人者であるSecureIQLabは、ウェブアプリケーションファイアウォール（WAF）テストの第3バージョン（WAF 3.0）を発表しました。このバージョンには、同社初のAPIセキュリティ・テストケースが含まれる予定です。WAF 3.0は、複雑なサイバー脅威の状況に耐えることができる、市場をリードするセキュリティソリューションの能力を評価します。ベンダーが自社のセキュリティ回復力、運用効率、セキュリティ投資収益率（ROSI）を評価するために、これほど幅広く、深く、透明性の高いWAFのテストを実施したテスト機関は他にないです。このような技術革新により、Webアプリケーションファイアウォール市場の最近の価格は今後も上昇すると予測されます。

According to the report, the BFSI sector exhibits a clear dominance in the market.

Banking, financial service, and insurance companies are highly lucrative for growth in the web application firewall market as they deal with massive customers regularly and require top-notch security and privacy. According to a survey conducted by Fortinet, in India, 82% of respondents have experienced at least a 2X increase in security incidents, and 72% reported more than triple the number of breaches. The top security incidents include phishing, denial of service, data/identity theft, ransomware, and data loss. Alarmingly, only 49% of organizations in Asia have dedicated security personnel, leaving them more vulnerable to security incidents and breaches. As a result, the need for security and data privacy solutions, like WAF, is increasingly rising.
