Unified Threat Management Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Cases of Data Breach to Favor Market

The rise in digitalization has encouraged several businesses across various industry verticals to digitalize their business in order to gain competitive advantage, enhance operational workflow, and reach more targeted audiences. However, the adoption of digital solutions makes critical data vulnerable and accessible to potential data breach incidents, leading to a rise in the number of data breach cases and incidents. A data breach is a security incident where an unauthorized party gains access to any business-sensitive and crucial information. Data breach incidents can impact business performance due to loss of critical information, financial losses, loss of trust of customers, and others. A few of the data breach incidents and related information are mentioned below:

• In June 2023, a major data breach case took place as a Telegram bot uploaded the data of millions who registered on the COWIN app. The data leak included mobile numbers, Aadhar card IDs, passports, and other critical customer information.
• In July 2023, IBM Security released the Cost of a Data Breach report for 2023. The report indicated that the global average data breach cost reached US$ 4.45 million in 2023, a 15% increase over the previous three years.
• In May 2023, Deutsche Telekom AG's brand T-Mobile experienced its second data breach case for 2023, where over 800 customer's PINs, full names, and phone numbers got leaked.

Adopting unified threat management solutions and services can help businesses boost their network security. This solution provides multiple security features via a single platform, which can help to get an advanced level of cost-efficient security solution. Thus, the rise in the number of data breach cases generates the demand for enhanced levels of security solutions, such as unified threat management, thereby fueling the market growth.

Growing Focus on Hybrid Unified Threat Management

Digital transformation continues to act as the main driver of organizational change. It also has a significant effect on security teams. As enterprises migrate to or from cloud environments, UTM tools find it difficult to fully cover the attack surface that enterprises encounter. The traditional UTM is unable to cover everything from cloud presence, on-premises, and SaaS products to code repositories and endpoint security. In order to protect themselves from all sides, companies add numerous more single-function tools to their UTM packages. In the coming years, businesses will increasingly adopt hybrid UTM solutions.
