The market growth is attributed to the growing use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rising demand for high-security networks in ever-changing technological developments.
Wireless network security involves the implementation of security protection for a wireless computer network. In other words, wireless security ensures high security in various wireless networks used in a computer system. The main function of wireless security is to prevent any illegal or unauthorized access to data in a computer through wireless networks, especially using Wi-Fi.
Network security is widely adopted by businesses as it ensures high protection of their networks from malicious and unwanted access attempts. This way, businesses can protect their confidential data and process their operation with high integrity by minimizing the risks involved in data damage from adversaries.
Several end-user industries adopt network security for various service solutions including consulting operations, managed security services, and security operations. WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 are the major existing wireless security protocols that offer the most secure platforms and ensure Wi-Fi security for various business organizations.
WEP and WPA are the most widely used wireless network security protocols compatible with the most common hardware of a computer. However, firmware upgrade or replacement is required to support WPA2 and WPA3, due to their complex encryption systems.
These wireless protocols are encrypted with complex programs to provide data confidentiality for users. Several organizations prefer wireless communication as it is easy to set up and minimize some of the drawbacks of wired communication structures.
Wireless network protection is cost-effective in contrast with the wired framework and is conveniently accessible. Wireless network security has importance in wireless communication to prevent unwanted network risks. However, a wireless security system has no wires to cut and is harder to bypass or work around.
COVID-19 Impact on Wireless Network Security Market
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic led to a massive increase in the use of wireless network security among government agencies and business organizations. The pandemic brought a dynamic change in the corporate world as organizations had to shift toward digital platforms and solutions to continue their business operations.

Growing use of IoT and Innovations such as BYOD
Growing use of IoT as a major communications network and the rising implementation of bringing your own device (BYOD) among business organizations are key factors driving the market. With the increasing expansion of business operations, the deployment of advanced network technology across industries are significantly rising over recent years.
The increasing use of network technology among end-user industries leads to the rising demand for wireless network security to safeguard sensitive data by encryption.
Increasing Demand for WLAN Security Framework
The high demand for wireless LAN (WLAN) security framework is a vital aspect of boosting the use of wireless network security. The deployment of network security enhances WLAN’s network performance and ensures high safety and speed of data transmission in a safe environment.
In addition to efficiency in data transfer, the WLAN security framework offers a security standard that allows an easy mechanism of entity authentication and access control for large networks.
Existing Restraints
The increasing piracy of wireless network security solutions is projected to hamper the market expansion during the forecast period. There are three major security threats to a wireless network such as advanced persistent threats, malware, and distributed denial-of-service attacks.
If the wireless networks are not secure then credentials including passwords, usernames, card details, and other sensitive data are at risk and face undesirable consequences.
Emerging Opportunities
With the rising investment in innovative devices and technological advancements, market players are developing advanced types of wireless devices such as routers or switches. These tools have high encryption by design to protect data access in case of any security breach in a network system. Thus, technological advancements in wireless security solutions are expected to create lucrative opportunities for market players.
