Total SASE Networking and Security Spend Tops $4 Billion
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – March 22, 2022 – According to a recently published report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, the convergence of WAN enterprise networking and security fueled strong growth in SASE related networking and security technologies.
“The pandemic made remote work and cloud-based applications necessary, and by doing so, accelerated the obsolescence of the classic hub-and-spoke networking model,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Research Director, Network Security, and SASE & SD-WAN at Dell’Oro Group. “Rather than thinking of networking and security as separate problems to solve, they are now being thought of as a continuum and driving together cloud-friendly networking and security technologies into SASE,” added Sanchez.
Additional highlights from the 4Q 2021 Network Security Quarterly Report:
- Over 30 vendors compete in the SASE market, but the top ten took in nearly 80 percent of the revenue.
- Full-year 2021 market revenue for SASE networking consisting of SD-WAN technologies exceeded $2 billion.

- Unified SASE–a subset of the total SASE market consisting of solutions that implement SASE networking and security as an integrated platform–grew nearly 50 percent year-over-year for full-year 2021.
