What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Application Delivery Controller Market's Growth?
The growth of the application delivery controller market is predicted to be fueled by the continually rising number of cyberattacks. A cyberattack is considered a malicious activity meant to infiltrate a computer or network without permission, with the motive to inflict harm. As a defense layer against these cyberattacks, application delivery controllers (ADCs) are often employed. These are typically crafted to boost the performance, availability, and security of applications, and to safeguard data and infrastructure from a myriad of threats. As reported by Checkpoint Software, a US-based cybersecurity solutions firm, in 2023, global cyberattacks rose by 38% in 2022 versus the former year. Moreover, there was a 48% spike in attacks on cloud-based networks per organization in 2022 in relation to 2021. According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, an Australian cyber security agency, nearly 76,000 cybercrime reports received in 2022 marked a 13% increase relative to the prior year. The continual rise in such cyberattacks underscores the growth of the application delivery controller market.
