The global enterprise firewall market size is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. Growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for advanced network security solutions, the development of a complex IoT threat landscape, and compliance with strict government data security regulations.

A firewall is a security system that controls network traffic according to certain rules. The firewall acts as an intermediate layer between trusted and untrusted networks and filters network traffic according to predefined firewall policies. Firewalls are the main security tool used to inspect the flow of inbound and outbound company data packets. Subject to rules and regulations, and determine whether the data flow is not affected by malicious activities and seek security. Hackers all over the world can access any website or data.
The firewall is an important part of any company to protect it from cyber threats. The firewall protects the critical information flowing within the organization from external and internal threats. Corporate firewalls are located at the edge of the network and enforce security policies by blocking or allowing certain network traffic. Since database security is very important to any enterprise, data firewalls can immediately prevent attacks on the database. The organization needs an application. Generally, the company database firewall cannot collect information such as client IP address, user name, host name, and browser. The firewall can determine whether a specific SQL query is invalid, but it cannot determine who made the malicious query.
