by The global Enterprise Session Border Controller Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 545.19 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
An Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) is a network element that secures real-time communications (RTC) sessions and interconnects unified communications networks. It controls the session and media layer for enterprises terminating network borders and protects internal networks from external threats. E-SBCs helps enterprises manage their unified communications infrastructure and services through capabilities for comprehensive sessionrouting, security, interworking, and value-added features. They offers centralized enforcement of policy across voice, video, messaging and collaboration. The key advantages of E-SBCs includes securing real-time communications, centralized policy enforcement, interworking of disparate network infrastructures and protecting internal networks from external threats. E-SBCs addresses the increasing need among enterprises for securing their communications infrastructure as they adopt more cloud-based unified communications services.
Market key trends:
The enterprise session border controller market is witnessing significant growth owing to increasing cloud adoption among enterprises. More and more enterprises are shifting their unified communications infrastructure to cloud to gain advantages of flexibility, scalability and lower costs. However, cloud adoption poses security challenges as it exposes enterprises networks and data to threats. Enterprise SBCs play a critical role in securely interconnecting on-premise unified communications infrastructure with cloud-based unified communications services. They provides capabilities for encryption, authentication, firewall, intrusion prevention and ensures only authorized sessions are allowed. Another key trend is the growing demand for securing real-time communications on mobile and remote working models. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated remote and hybrid working and enterprises are looking at solutions to secure real-time communications on mobile and Internet networks. E-SBCs with capabilities for mobile and remote access security are witnessing increased demand. Furthermore, the trend of consolidation of communications infrastructure is fueling demand for E-SBCs which help simplify infrastructure management through centralized policy enforcement across voice, video and collaboration tools.
