1. What Is the Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) Market?
The Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) Market covers technologies and services used to protect digital identities, systems, networks, applications, devices, or data against unauthorized access and cyber threats. Core capabilities are defined by the security function represented by zero-knowledge proof (zkp), including policy enforcement, detection, authentication, monitoring, prevention, or response as applicable to the market. Organizations deploy these capabilities across enterprise IT environments, cloud infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and connected assets to reduce security exposure and manage access or threat activity. Key market configurations include Software, Hardware, Services, Cloud. The scope covers commercial offerings used from development or production through deployment, operation, maintenance, or end-user application, where applicable.
