Network Probe Market Overview:

The overall network probe market is expected to account for a valuation of USD 1004 Million in 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.47% during the forecast period. The base year considered for the study is 2020, and the market size forecast is given for the period from 2022 to 2030.

A network probe is an ideal network monitor and protocol analyzer, allowing users to monitor network traffic in real-time and identify the source of any network slowdowns in seconds. It will indicate which protocols are active on the network, which hosts are sending and receiving data, where the traffic originates, and when all of this exists. Network Probe provides a quick summary of the network's most active protocols, communicators, receivers, hosts, and conversations. A probe is an action, or an object, used in telecommunications to gain information about the state of the network. For instance, an empty message can be sent to see if the destination exists. Ping is a standard utility for sending such a probe. A probe is a program or other device implanted at a critical junction in a network to monitor or gather data about network activities. It is an attempt to obtain access to a computer and its data through a known or likely weak point in the computer system, as it is related to computer security in a network.

COVID-19 Analysis

Global trade has been flipped upside down as a result of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has unavoidably resulted in an increase in the usage of digital technologies owing to social distancing conventions and statewide lockdowns. People and organizations worldwide have had to adapt to new ways of doing business and dwelling. As technology advances, more businesses and educational institutions are embracing work-from-home options (WFH). As a result, network administrators rely on network monitoring tools to help quickly recognize device or connection failures and issues such as traffic bottlenecks that limit data flow to remotely monitor the devices on a network. These systems can send email or SMS alerts to administrators in the event of an incident and offer reports via network analytics.

Market Dynamics

The major factors driving the growth of the network probe market are the growing adoption of cloud and IoT and the increasing demand for continuous network probes due to the rise in network complexities and security concerns. However, the lack of technical granularity is expected to hinder market growth to a certain extent. Nevertheless, growth in the demand for network monitoring tools among SMEs is expected to present lucrative growth opportunities for the market players.

Drivers

• Growing Adoption of Cloud and IoT

The modern digital world is immersed in the Internet of Things-powered technologies. Smart devices and sensors can collect and translate data into business insights faster, cheaper, and more accurately than before. Many firms have understood the tremendous value of leveraging IoT technologies to drive business decisions, and many key business processes typically include some element of IoT technology. Enterprises using IoT at scale will need to develop a strategic plan to address the cyber risks connected with the technology while also remaining compliant with ever-increasing regulatory requirements. Some of the top security challenges in IoT can be effectively managed with the broad coverage of security capabilities, such as device operating system patching, improper encryption mechanisms, device default factory settings, device shadow, device event logging, and distributed denial of service attacks, among many others. The cloud network probe service is used to monitor the quality of VPC network connections, such as latency, packet loss rate, and other essential metrics. The cloud probe can capture all network traffic based on the constraints set by the network administrator. If the network administrator activates the promiscuous mode, the cloud probe records all network traffic. If promiscuous mode is deactivated, the cloud probe only records traffic entering and exiting the system on which it is hosted. The increased deployment of IoT devices will make them targets for attacks.

Restraints

• Lack of Technical Granularity

Traffic volumes are exploding in data centers due to the rising efficiency and density of highly virtualized cloud computing infrastructures. A single application or storage server can now create bi-directional flow rates in over tens of billions of packets per day, with an aggregate daily traffic in many cloud data centers quantifiable in petabytes and beyond, owing to connections at speeds of 10Gbps, 25Gbps, and 50Gbps. Multi-path 100Gbps ethernet spine and leaf topologies are becoming the norm to handle these loads. Traditional techniques of recording and evaluating traffic flows demand a drastic change in density and performance for data aggregation and visibility because of the massive volumes of traffic. Moreover, network probes are not designed to provide a high level of visibility and control. The network probing tools are unable to access certain dark areas in the network. There would be a waste of time and revenues if there were any network issues. Organizations can use granularity-level deep extreme analysis to detect problems and high-risk communication in real-time.
