Network access control (NAC) solutions help manage and control access to multiple devices, applications, and access methods in an organization’s network. They provide visibility, control access, and protect networks from security threats. With the advent of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies across various industries, the need for secure access control for corporate and personal devices has increased significantly. NAC solutions seamlessly integrate with existing devices, applications, infrastructure, and policies to authenticate users and devices, assess posture, apply security policies, remediate non-compliance, and provide secure access on the network.
The global Network Access Control Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9,397.7 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The growing adoption of BYOD policies across industries is a key trend driving the network access control market growth. Many organizations allow employees to use personal devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets for accessing business applications and services in order to improve workforce productivity and flexibility. However, it poses security challenges as corporate networks are exposed to threats from unmanaged personal devices. NAC solutions enable secure access to corporate resources on any BYOD device by facilitating comprehensive device authentication, authorization, and posture checking on the network perimeter. They provide granular visibility and policy-based access control based on the identity and health status of the connecting device. This significantly reduces security risks for organizations embracing the BYOD model.
