The security as a service market is projected to reach US$ 34,854.10 million by 2028 from US$ 13,712.87 million in 2022. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Security as a service is a technique to supply security solutions to an organization for data centers or regional gateways. As it helps enable secure access to apps, it has become a crucial approach for enterprises to increase their mobile and cloud deployments. To increase enterprises' application security, various security solutions are deployed. Data loss prevention (DLP), compliance solutions, advanced malware prevention, cloud access security brokers making decisions, and continuous monitoring are just a few of the security solutions offered. Service providers charge organizations a reasonable monthly fee for their services. Due to these benefits, end-use industries are increasingly approaching market players, which is anticipated to fuel the global expansion of the security as a service market. Organizations utilize security as a service extensively because it offers a number of advantages over traditional approaches, including speedier operations, ongoing virus updates, cost-effective solutions, and faster operations.

The global demand for security solutions is also growing due to the rising digitization and the use of cloud-based services across various industries. Many companies have recently adopted business apps, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) guidelines, choose-your-own-device (CYOD) trends, and other technology. Concern over the integrity and confidentiality of organizational data has grown due to these trends. Over 3.7 billion people use email globally, and 269 billion emails are sent daily as a result of the development of electronic marketing methods. This provides huge opportunities for hackers to send spam emails to users to obtain crucial information about them. Most security problems begin with phishing emails used by hackers to mislead victims into giving them access to accounts, logins, or financial information before moving on to technical hacks. Hence, the rising importance of cybersecurity strongly promotes the security as a service market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Security as a Service Market Growth

 

The continuous growth in the number of novel coronavirus-infected patients compelled government authorities to impose stringent lockdowns across the US and other regions in the first 3 quarters of 2020. The manufacturing sector witnessed severe losses due to temporary factory shutdowns while most enterprises were forced to shift towards remote working setups. The rising uptake of work-from-home policy triggered a rise in cyber-attacks and the requirement for protection from the same. Small and medium enterprises were forced to raise their expenditure on network security solutions. In lieu of such effects of the pandemic, the security as a service market size was positively impacted. In the US, a sharp increase was witnessed in phishing and malware distribution using COVID-19-themed lures and the registration of new domain names with coronavirus- or COVID-19-related terms.

The region also witnessed heightened online transactions, which further attracted cyber criminals. Hence, enterprises started focusing on cybersecurity infrastructure to protect customers and employees. This created great growth opportunities for market players. Microsoft reported that between February and May 2020, 19 million phishing and ransomware attacks with a Covid-19 theme were also detected in Asia Pacific. Since several individuals were forced to work from hastily created less secure environments during the pandemic, the growing use of cloud-based services became a hotspot for cyberattacks. Hence, COVID-19 positively influenced global security as a service market growth.
