2018 to 2022 DDoS Protection Market Outlook Compared to 2023 to 2033 Forecast

The DDoS protection demand is estimated to grow by 15.3% CAGR between 2023 and 2033 in comparison to 12.3% CAGR during 2018 to 2022 as the adoption of traditional firewall was more in the historic period.

Although traditional cloud-based DDoS protection solutions, including those provided by ISPs or CDNs, are designed to stop large volumetric DDoS attacks, they struggle to eliminate other types of DDoS attacks designed to evade their efforts.

In earlier days, cloud-based DDoS protection solutions were able only to protect entire IP ranges. It was difficult to extend this protection to specific cloud environments and assets, down to the level of individual IP addresses.

Now, with advanced DDoS protection solutions that offer protection for individual IPs, allows the users to register a public IP or domain name, add the DDoS service to their DNS configuration, and enable immediate protection of that specific IP.

Thus, the evolving nature of DDoS attacking technologies is compelling DDoS protection solution providers to have a proactive defense system in place for network and application level security.

Cloud-based DDoS protection solution segment in global DDoS protection market is estimated to have the leading market share of 55.0% in 2022. Owing to high adoption of network security solutions among enterprises, North America region is currently dominating the global market.

Will the Rising Number of DDoS Threats across IoT Ecosystem Boost the Market?

The internet of things ecosystem is made up of multiple servers, gateways, devices, and other endpoints. As the corporate environment changes, so do the security requirements. Furthermore, as IoT gains popularity in a variety of industries such as healthcare, connected cars, and smart manufacturing, the breadth of its applications expands. The network in use becomes more complicated and the number of devices in the linked ecosystem multiplies.

As IoT devices become more prevalent in our lives, so will the possibility of unforeseen botnets infiltration, wreaking unexpected havoc. IoT devices are being widely used in a variety of applications including smart city projects, vehicular connection, and autonomous cars, smart transportation, smart grids, and smart homes.

The number of IoT devices is rapidly expanding and numerous business verticals are creating new technical use cases based on IoT devices. They are vulnerable to high-intensity distributed denial of service (DDoS) assaults.

As a result, strong DDoS security solutions are necessary to defend the entire infrastructure from DDoS assaults caused in IoT devices. Satori, WireX, and Reaper are three more prominent botnets. With the growing threat environment of IoT devices, the DDoS protection market is expected to rise rapidly throughout the projected period.

Tackling DDoS with Deep Learning Mechanism

Deep neural networks (DNNs), which generally mimic the operations of their biological counterparts, consume enormous volumes of data and identify meaningful patterns, which they then convert into complicated mathematical representations. This model may be used to categorize new incoming data or to anticipate the next item in a series.

A well-trained deep learning model will be able to collect complicated features of safe and malicious traffic that would otherwise go unnoticed by a human analyst by evaluating massive amounts of data. As with other deep learning applications, establishing a viable DDoS detection model is heavily reliant on adding up a sufficient amount of high-quality training data.

The neural network was trained on a large dataset of both normal and malicious table entries before being tested against five different types of DDoS attacks, including various traffic flooding attacks and slow-connection HTTP attacks, in which attackers try to bog down a server by sending it extremely long requests. These factors are estimated to significantly contribute towards the growth of DDoS protection market in the near future.

Country-wise Insights

Why is Demand for DDoS Protection increasing in India?

High Number of DDoS Nodes in India Makes it a Highly Lucrative Market

The DDoS Protection demand in India is expected to account for nearly 44% of South Asia & Pacific market share through 2022. India is among the top countries with most DDoS botted nodes only after China and Mirai is a malware or top Botnet that infects smart and networked devices.

In India, the cyber-attacks were made on several industrial sectors such as wired/ wireless telecom carriers, investment banking, hosting & related services, e-commerce, and data processing, among others. As per the findings by the American-Israeli cyber security firm Radware, the frequency of DDoS attacks in India saw a steady increase from January until June in 2021, followed by a drop in July. But the attacks were up again in August, which saw record packet volume.

Thus, organizations in India have to continue updating their DDoS protection plan that consists of organic mitigation capacity along with opting to partner skilled commercial DDoS mitigation service providers.
