COVID-19 impact analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of cyber security industry. This is attributed to emergence of COVID-19; the use of cyber security services will enable enterprises to address security issues and facilitate secured information access while working remotely. In addition, owing to increase in internet traffic, the danger of cyber-attacks has grown significantly in numerous enterprises, necessitating the implementation of cyber security services. Innovations and advancements in cyber security solutions, such as cloud security and AI-integrated solutions as well as an increase in the number of cyber-attacks since the outbreak of the pandemic, have fueled market development. For instance, according to a report from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 security consulting group, the average ransomware payment climbed 82% to a record $570,000 in the first half of 2021 from $312,000 in 2020. Thus, increase in ransomware or cyber-attacks augments the demand for cyber security solution & services, thereby fueling the growth of the global cyber security market.

Top impacting factors

Rise in malware and phishing threats among enterprises

Malware, such as viruses and Trojans, has substantially expanded its ability to enter, control, and harm whole electronic information networks. Malware is frequently used by cyber criminals to obtain control of devices or equipment in order to make money. This is done so that the machine may be immediately used to undertake fraudulent transactions or criminal operations. 

Furthermore, because to the criticality of data created in these businesses, industries such as BFSI, healthcare, and government are particularly exposed to such assaults. As a result, an increase in the risk of malware and phishing attacks is a major element driving the cybersecurity market forward. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of malware attacks on major businesses' databases has increased, necessitating the need to tighten data base security, driving the worldwide cybersecurity industry. 

Furthermore, market vendors are coming up with innovative solutions to combat against such malware and phishing attacks, thereby driving growth of the global market. For instance, in March 2021, Tech Mahindra announced the launch of a new cloud security offering called ‘CLOUDEFENDER.’ It is a cloud-based attack mitigation service. The solution is powered by cybersecurity and application delivery solutions provider Radware and is an expansion of Tech Mahindra’s global partnership with the company to provide a full suite of cloud-based cyber security services. 

Increase in adoption of IoT and BYOD trend

Devices and applications have become more vulnerable to advanced persistent threats (APTs) as a result of the growing IoT and BYOD trend among businesses. Furthermore, as the number of mobile devices within enterprises grows, IT staff will find it more challenging to control and trace data flow in diverse systems. As a result, businesses are using cybersecurity systems to secure sensitive data by monitoring, classifying, and resolving various types of threats, fueling market growth. For instance, according to a report in 2021, cyber criminals have manipulated the COVID-19 crisis to launch 667% more phishing attacks and are actively trying to take advantage of security vulnerabilities, which, in turn, augments the growth of the market. Moreover, over 15% of employees accessed sensitive data from non-work devices in 2020. In addition, many businesses are aware that BYOD’s benefits in the workplace far outweigh any potential risks. Potential security threats can be neutralized in most situations. There are many benefits of having a BYOD policy, increased productivity, employee satisfaction and reduced company costs; thus, increasing the adoption of cybersecurity.
