Web Application Firewall Market to Reach Valuation of USD 9.57 Billion by 2028 - Increasing Demand for Web Application Firewall Market for electric vehicle charging to Drive the Market Growth

From the period of 2022 to 2028, the Global Web Application Firewall Market is expected to reach USD 9.57 Billion in terms of revenue, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.30%.

The Web Application Firewall (WAF) is intended to improve the security of HTTP or online interactions. To identify and block threats to a system, it generally follows a set of rules. In today's corporate, government, and educational sectors, web-based applications and services have revolutionized the landscape of information delivery and interchange. Because of the cheap availability of information and the variety of web services, web-based services, and the firewall market is being more relied upon for greater integration of internal information systems. Web application firewalls face two major challenges: cost and performance. Because these tools monitor all incoming and outgoing information at the application layer, performance is frequently a concern. Each protocol, such as HTTP, SMTP, and others, has its own proxy program, and new network applications and protocols can take a long time to gain support.

Key Highlights from the Report
