Gartner has released its latest market forecast for the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) market, projecting it will reach $25 billion by 2028. Single-vendor SASE adoption is growing at a 43% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), as organizations seek to consolidate their security and networking stacks.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) remain the top drivers of market growth, with organizations prioritizing VPN replacement and secure internet access for hybrid workforces.
The forecast notes increasing competition between established network security vendors and cloud-native startups, with price competition intensifying in the mid-market segment.
