Market Trends of ASEAN Cyber Security Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the ASEAN Cyber Security Market according to our research experts:
Cloud Expected to Witness Significant Market Share
- The increasing realization among enterprises about the importance of saving money and resources by moving their data to the cloud instead of building and maintaining new data storage is driving the demand for cloud-based solutions, and hence, the adoption of on-demand security services. Owing to multiple benefits, cloud platforms and ecosystems are anticipated to serve as a launchpad for an explosion in the pace and scale of digital innovation over the next few years.
- Security has been a critical consideration at each step of the cloud adoption cycle, as IT provision has moved from on-premise to outside of the company's walls. SMEs prefer cloud deployment as it allows them to focus on their core competencies rather than invest their capital in security infrastructure since they have limited cybersecurity budgets.
- Furthermore, the deployment of public cloud service extends the boundary of trust beyond the organization, which makes security a vital part of the cloud infrastructure. However, the increasing usage of cloud-based solutions has significantly simplified enterprises' adoption of cybersecurity practices.
- As cloud platform services see an increase in use, there has been an explosion in the number of unmanaged risks in the mission-critical digital industry. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) automates cloud security management across the diverse cloud infrastructure. Due to this, there has been an increased acquisition activities in the segment.
