Network Security Market Surge in Q2 2025

According to a recent analysis by the Dell'Oro Group, the Network Security market has experienced a remarkable 8% year-over-year growth in the second quarter of 2025, hitting a total revenue of $6.4 billion. This increase is largely attributed to significant advancements in Security Service Edge (SSE) and Application Delivery Controllers (ADC), with both segments demonstrating double-digit growth. Enterprises are increasingly adopting AI-driven application protection and integrating platform strategies to optimize their operations, thereby enhancing their security measures.

In more detail, SSE recorded a striking 19% increase, while ADC saw a phenomenal 24% rise, both figures substantially outpacing the general market's 8% growth rate. Virtual firewalls increased by 27%, in contrast to a slight contraction in physical appliances, which dipped by 5%. This shift highlights a decisive move towards cloud solutions and software-oriented controls, showcasing how enterprise spending is evolving. Mauricio Sanchez, Senior Director of Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell'Oro Group, explained that buyers are favoring companies that provide AI-aware inspection capabilities and consolidated management consoles.

The data provides further insights into the trends shaping the Network Security market. It suggests that revenue from cloud and software-based network security solutions is expected to grow by 20% in 2025. Meanwhile, the forecast for hardware appliances suggests a slight decline of 2%. This trend points to a greater reliance on virtual and SaaS-based solutions, which already captured 78% of new spending.

The total market size for Network Security is predicted to surpass $26 billion in 2025, fueled by the ongoing shift towards zero-trust security mandates, the rise of AI workloads, and the continuing expansion of cloud services. In the realm of Application Delivery Services, the revenue from virtual ADC solutions soared by 49% year-over-year, while SaaS Web Application Firewalls (WAF) grew by 21%. These results emphasize how demand is increasingly shifting towards innovative, cloud-conscious security frameworks,
