Top Impacting Factors
Surge in web and mobile-based business-critical applications requiring higher secure endpoint protection
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, enterprises are allowing employees to work from home with their own devices, such as laptops and smartphones to access company data as well as also provide company-specific web and mobile-based applications for usage. These external devices work on (often) relatively unsecured personal network of the employees, making them susceptible to various cyberattacks due to insufficient security; thus, companies are adopting network security testing solutions to provide enhanced security and to reduce various types of cyberattacks, which propels the growth of the market.
In addition, growing cyberattacks, in-house data thefts, and other theft issues among the organizations drives the growth of the market. Furthermore, an increase in the adoption of network security testing in large and medium size enterprises for providing higher secure endpoint protection for various mobile and other devices across the enterprises drives the growth of the market.
Increase in number of cyber-attacks and fraud cases
The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a considerable proportion of routine activities and businesses to shift their operations online. In addition to this, the growing adoption of digital media and communication networks across the organization and the growing need to reduce cyber-attacks and fraudulent cases across the globe drive the growth of the market.
Furthermore, reducing cybercrimes is the key goal for many organizations, according to a study published in Cybercrime Magazine, in February 2022, total damages and ransoms collected by hackers and cybercriminals around the globe amounted to more than $6 trillion in 2021. The study also claims that these costs could grow every year and reach up to $10.5 trillion in the coming 5 years, growing at the rate of 15% each year. In July 2021, a major game publisher, Electronic Arts Inc. was hacked with more than 780 GB of their data stolen and held at ransom. This stolen data included source code for their upcoming game titles including FIFA 21 and others. Such factors are influencing the global network security testing market growth.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The global network security testing market has witnessed stable growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to the dramatically increased digital penetration during the period of COVID-19-induced lockdowns and stringent social distancing policies, which further fueled the demand for remote operational tools such as network security testing tools. Moreover, the lack of skilled IT professionals and highly skilled hackers has led to a surge in cyber-crimes and security breaches in organizations.
In addition, different enterprises adopted security testing solutions due to the rise in the number of data breaches and lack of security within the organization to prevent unauthorized access to enterprise information using the loopholes in the security systems. As a result, the rise in the number of data and security breaches during the COVID-19 pandemic in enterprises drives market growth.
Furthermore, the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, caused many organizations to adopt remote working tools. According to an article published by TechTarget, in December 2020, more than 67% of organizations that adopted work-from-home policies post the outbreak of COVID-19, plan to keep their remote working options available for their employees even after the period of the pandemic. Such factors propelled the growth of the global network security testing solutions market during the period.
