Security-as-a-Service Market is expanding rapidly with GLESEC introducing Orchestrated Data Leakage Detection and Protection Service to address dynamic requirements of every organization
Security-as-a-Service is a growing
industry in the field of Information Technology Security Management. It was
originally developed to replace the concept of expensive in-house security
solutions, replacing them with web-based solutions offered by security vendors.
Over the years, the demand for cloud-based security has increased
significantly. Organizations from different industries are increasingly
adopting cloud computing solutions, to enhance their routine operations and
boost efficiency. Recently, in June 2021, Quick Heal Technologies launched the
cloud-based security management platform Seqrite Hawkk, a next-generation
cybersecurity solution aimed at empowering enterprises to secure digital
transformation. Hence, such factors can stimulate growth of the
security-as-a-service market.
In the recent past, the trend of
bringing your own device (BOYD) has emerged in various industries. Many
organizations are encouraging employees to use their own devices namely
laptops, PC, or phones for the office’s work. This particular policy is useful
for smaller companies, which allows employees to work from home. As a result of
this, the adoption of security services has increased, in order to protect
confidential data from being tampered with. Hence, such factors can augment
growth of the security-as-a-service
market. Recently, in May 2021, GLESEC, a cyber-security firm, launched
its Orchestrated Data Leakage Detection and Protection Service to address the
dynamic requirements of every organization.
Some of the advantages of
security-as-a-service include the fact that it removes the need for a dedicated
security expert who may not have the IT background or skills required to
manage, support, and deploy the software. As far as regional impact is
concerned, North America seems to be gaining significant traction in the
security-as-a-service market. This is due to the fact that there is an increase
in cybercrime cases and data breach incidents across the U.S. On contrary, Asia
Pacific is exhibiting a positive outlook due to rapid adoption of cloud
computing services in the region.
Furthermore, most vendors offer
security solutions that are integrated with other business elements such as
customer relationship management (CRM) systems and e-commerce security
solutions. As such, a security vendor who offers VAS providers can integrate
their services with a cloud service provider's existing offerings and provide
businesses with a completely integrated, and scalable business network. Despite
these advantageous factors, there are certain challenges that can potentially
impede growth of the security-as-a-service market. For instance, some
cloud-based applications are vulnerable to cybercrimes, which could hinder the
adoption of SaaS. Besides, the rise in IT infrastructure complexities can
further impede growth of the security-as-a-service market.
