Global Security Policy Management Market – Analysis and Forecast (2025-2030)

Component (Solution and Services), Organization Size (Large Enterprises and Small & Medium Enterprises), Application (Network Policy Management, Compliance and Auditing, Change Management, and Vulnerability Assessment), Industry (IT & Telecom, Healthcare, BFSI, Manufacturing, Energy & Power, Government, and Others)

Industry Overview

The global security policy management market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period 2025-30. Global security policy management refers to the process of implementing, identifying, and administering the procedures and rules that every user must abide by while accessing and using the resources or IT assets of a company.

It is basically a network security policy that is designed to handle security risks and execute remedial measures to alleviate IT security vulnerabilities. At the same time, it also helps in determining the ways to recover from situations when a system is compromised or there is an intrusion in the network. The users are also given strict guidelines as to what they should do and should not. The policy also specifies who can access what type of resources and assets of the company along with the consequences for non-compliance.

Security Policy Management Market Highlights

In short, it is a process to ensure the legitimacy of network traffic and prevent security breaches without sacrificing quality or compliance. It is done with the help of software that provides a set of tools to help maintain compliance and enforce firewall regulations and network security. These tools aid in the identification and removal of redundant or obsolete security rules, as well as the simplification of security operations. Thus, it proactively automates the network security management process across cloud, SDNs, and on-premise firewalls.

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a negative impact on the security policy management market owing fall in global commodity prices and the complexity to connect electronic components. However, post the COVID-19 crisis, the surge in demand for networking and travel, rising demand for smart infrastructure, and increased adoption of robotic applications and sensor-based devices, will lead to tremendous growth in the security policy management market during the forecast period.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Component

According to the components, the global security policy management market is divided into solutions and services. The services segment is further divided into Professional and managed services.

Out of these two segments, the solution segment has a higher market share and is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period. This is because there will be a significant increase among businesses to secure their network as well as internal and external infrastructure to prevent them from malware, Trojan, spam, and phishing and also ensure that their networks are secure and compliant with the industry standards.

Insight by Organization Size

According to the size of the organizations, the global security policy management market is divided into large enterprises and small & medium enterprises (SMEs). Out of these two segments, the large enterprise segments account for the larger share of the market due to greater concern for data security and investments in security and compliance implementation.

However, the SME sector will grow quickly to hold a respectable position in the global security policy management market during the forecast period due to the growing adoption of mobile devices and higher penetration of cloud-based platforms for simplifying security operations and protecting confidential data.

Insight by Application

According to the different applications, the global security policy management market is divided into network policy management, change management, compliance and auditing, and vulnerability assessment. Out of all these, the larger share belongs to the network policy management segment. This is due to the growing intricacies in network infrastructure and cross-communication inside organizations.

Insight by Industry

The most noticeable trends in the global security policy management market include the shifting from traditional homogenous models to hybrid network models. This is mainly due to the higher emphasis on digitalization, industry standard compliance, implementation of wireless network infrastructure, and government mandates.

The SPM platforms help manage policy changes as they provide useful features and capabilities such as version control, change tracking, and approval workflows. They further help in ensuring that the modifications made in the policy are well documented, authorized, and communicated properly.
