Global Security and Vulnerability Management Market - Segmented by Size of Organization, End-User Vertical (Aerospace, Defense, Intelligence, BFSI, Healthcare, Manufacturing), and Region - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The global security and vulnerability management market is expected to register a CAGR of 10%, over the forecast period (2018-2023). Security and vulnerability management is the practice of identifying, classifying, and mitigating vulnerabilities in networking software or hardware. It has become an integral part of enterprise security in recent years. As the current cybersecurity threat landscape is uniformly evolving, organizations need to be proactive in their threat and vulnerability management efforts. The efficiency of vulnerability management depends on the organization’s ability to keep up with current security threats and trends. Recent security attacks have increased the need for a robust cybersecurity management system, which is centered on a tough policy and applies many technologies to achieve defense. Coupled with rapid growth in the number of cyber-attacks, the demand for strict acquiescence and security packages to protect confidential data across different verticals, such as government, banking, retail, and manufacturing, is increasing and is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Increasing Number of Cyber Attacks is Driving Market Growth

The increasing incidences of technically complex attacks have raised the need for businesses to ensure that adequate cybersecurity frameworks are in place to counter such threats, and they also need to increase their cyber resilience, particularly, their ability to detect and remediate breaches and other cyber incidents. These cyber-attacks include attacks that directly target business systems and individuals, which could potentially lead to huge financial and personal losses. Smaller organizations experience high proportion of cyber-crimes related to malware, web-based attacks, social attacks, phishing, etc. Large organizations experience high costs related to denial of service, malicious insiders, and malicious code. Hence, the increasing number of cyber-attacks are driving the growth of the security and vulnerability management market.

BSFI Holds the Largest Market Share

The BFSI sector has faced several data breaches and cyber-attacks, owing to the large customer base that the industry serves. Data breaches lead to an exponential rise in costs and loss of valuable customer information. For instance, Taiwan’s Far Eastern International Bank incurred a loss of around USD 60 million by a malware. Also, with greater customer expectation, growing technological capabilities, and regulatory requirements, banking institutions are pushed to adopt a proactive approach to security. Further, the growing trend of e-commerce has driven banks to establish secure channels for third-party payments. This sector is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period.

North America Holds the Largest Market Share

Technological penetration, along with increasing security concerns among banking and other verticals, is propelling the growth of the North American security & vulnerability management market. Mobile penetration in North America is high and solutions are used for making an effective approach for potential verticals in data recovery, which lead to efficient and coordinated detection of threats. North America, over the years, has taken giant leaps in terms of technological advancement, with companies making approaches to add value to the market. North America held a major share in 2017 and is expected to continue to prove its prominence during the forecast period.
