Secondary research was conducted to collect information useful for this technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the global security service edge (SSE) market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain using primary research. Different approaches, such as top-down and bottom-up, were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakup and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments of the SSE market.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources were referred to identify and collect information related to the study. Secondary sources included National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of security service edge (SSE) vendors, forums, certified publications, and whitepapers. The secondary research was used to obtain critical information on the industry's value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation from the market and technology-oriented perspectives.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the SSE market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information.

Market Definition
Security service edge (SSE) is a comprehensive cloud-based security solution that converges network and security services to protect access to web, cloud, and private applications, regardless of user location or device. SSE capabilities include access control, threat protection, data security, security monitoring, and acceptable-use control. SSE may also include on-premises or agent-based components.
An SSE solution requires four fundamental security capabilities: zero trust access network (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), secure web gateway (SWG), and firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS).
