Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Cloud-Based Cyberattacks

The adoption of cloud computing has gained massive traction in recent years with key players such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Cloud computing has altered how enterprises use, store, and share data and information. However, anything that operates digitally will inevitably become a target of cyber actors. The shift of organizations toward cloud computing has created new avenues for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities, compromise data, and wreak havoc on organizations of all sizes. Data stored in the cloud environment is more vulnerable than data on on-site servers. Misconfiguration, compromised user accounts, API vulnerabilities, malicious insider activity, and others are among the major causes of cloud computing cyberattacks. In recent years, the number of attacks on cloud platforms has increased rapidly. Cloud-based cyberattacks accounted for 20% of all cyberattacks in 2020, making cloud-based platforms the third most-targeted cyber environment. In January 2020, Microsoft announced that one of its cloud databases was breached in December 2019, which resulted in the exposure of 250 million entries, including email addresses, IP addresses, and support case details. Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) is an automated cloud security solution that mitigates the risk of data breaches in public cloud environments by implementing cloud security. Thus, the rise in cloud-based cyberattacks propels the cloud infrastructure entitlements management market growth.

Stringent Government Regulations

Various industry and government regulations require businesses to adhere to strict security controls. In such a scenario, cloud infrastructure entitlements management is a crucial aspect of an organization's cybersecurity strategy. In industries such as healthcare, finance, and government that handle sensitive data, organizations of all sizes must comply with complex regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOX to protect the sensitive data of consumers and businesses. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to heavy fines and damage to the organization's reputation. For instance, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), established in 2018, imposes fines ranging up to US$ 21.68 million (EUR 20 million) or 4% of the company's global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Similarly, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations fines can range up to US$ 1.5 million per violation. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) imposes fines from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations fines can range up to US$ 134,937 per violation, whereas the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations can require a fine of a total of US$ 25 million or more. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can fine up to US$ 50,000 per day per violation. Companies worldwide have faced huge fines due to the violation of these regulations. For instance, according to a survey of 500 organizations worldwide by Kaspersky, the average loss of a company from a violation is US$ 551,000, of which the average loss of small and medium-sized companies from a violation is US$ 38,000. Thus, organizations are required to implement cloud infrastructure entitlements management solutions to comply with stringent government regulations such as PCI DSS, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX, and GDPR, providing lucrative opportunities for market growth.
