DNS Security Software Market Driver:

Increasing Adoption of Cloud-Based DNS Solutions Drives DNS Security Software Market Growth

Domain name system (DNS) is essential to the reliability and performance of cloud services and internet applications. A cloud-based DNS can provide even better results than a regular DNS infrastructure. The cloud-based DNS adoption has disrupted the DNS landscape in a good way. Recently, there has been a drastic shift from the traditional DNS to cloud-based DNS to enhance flexibility and improve DNS performance for a better user experience. With the sudden rise in the number of business-critical applications hosted in hybrid-cloud environments, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting the cloud. Thus, various organizations are adopting cloud-based DNS solutions because of their benefits. One of the major benefits of cloud-based name resolution is that it can handle large volumes of traffic and queries without affecting the network performance. Cloud providers have global networks of DNS servers that can distribute the load and respond to requests faster than normal servers. This can benefit users through scalability, affordability, resiliency, and security, specifically by preventing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. As businesses continue to outsource their IT infrastructure, they are adopting a cloud-based DNS to ensure an edge against business rivals.

Cloud-based DNS solution providers control large-scale networks with multiple points of presence (PoP) around the world. They accelerate DNS resolution by automatically pushing queries to the closest PoP, guaranteeing consistent user experiences worldwide. Also, cloud-based DNS solution providers take a multilayered method to security, employing a variety of measures to establish trust and defend against threats. They retain dedicated security experts who closely monitor industry trends and proactively update security systems and practices to prevent malicious attacks and mitigate risks. Cloud-based DNS also exposes numerous opportunities to leverage the DNS infrastructure for global traffic steering and load balancing across hybrid environments. Cloud-based DNS aids in better visibility monitoring and makes configuration changes convenient and easy for organizations. Thus, several businesses believe cloud deployment to be the most effective and convenient deployment platform for DNS security software solutions, contributing to the DNS security software market growth.

DNS Security Software Market Segmental Analysis:

Based on organization size, the DNS security software market is segmented into small and medium enterprises and large enterprises. The large enterprises segment held a larger share of the DNS security software market in 2022. Large enterprises are usually the preferred targets of DDoS attacks. Various DNS security software players are launching products for large enterprises that can prevent damage from DDoS attacks. In April 2023, Akamai Technologies opened two new scrubbing centers in Mumbai and Chennai, India, as part of its global investment strategy. These next-generation centers will provide Indian businesses and global organizations with the strongest DDoS protection and increased performance. Akamai's Prolexic DDoS protection platform, which is now more powerful because of the new scrubbing centers, will safeguard businesses in high-risk sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, the public sector, large enterprises, group companies, gaming, and e-commerce. This will improve attack mitigation response time and performance even further.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face several types of cyberattacks, such as ransomware and DNS tunneling. The increasing frequency of such types of attacks on SMEs is fueling the adoption of DNS security software in SMEs. According to a recent report by Vodafone Business in February 2023, the UK witnessed a notable increase in cyberattacks on SMEs. In 2022, over half of these SMEs (54%) reported experiencing some type of cyber-attack, which marked a significant rise from the 39% recorded in 2020. Moreover, the report indicated that 18% of SMEs lacked cybersecurity software protection. This escalating trend of cyber-attacks underscores the growing vulnerability of SMEs, especially in an era where remote work and digital technology reliance have become more prevalent. Hence, the increase in cyber-attacks is propelling the adoption of DNS security software in small and medium enterprises, propelling the DNS security software market growth.
