Security Testing Market Trends

• The surge in web and mobile-based business is driving the market growth

Enterprises are adopting technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and BYOD, which have increased the attack surface. Enterprises allow employees to bring their own devices, such as laptops and smartphones, to access company data and provide company-specific web and mobile-based applications. These devices function on the private network of the respective user, which is susceptible to various cyberattacks due to insufficient security. Business-sensitive data will be leaked and misused if any of these devices or applications are hacked. Timely security testing of such devices and applications for checking vulnerabilities can help prevent and mitigate potential cyber threats. The cybersecurity statistics of Veronis revealed that the breached data from sources, such as loT and smartphones, are increasing drastically. The same study suggested that most companies have unprotected data and poor security testing practices, making them vulnerable to data loss. According to Symantec, in 2018, 1 in 36 mobile devices had high-risk apps installed, an average of 10,573 malicious mobile apps were blocked daily, and many devices experienced an average of 5,200 attacks per month. According to CSO Online, 61% of organizations have experienced a lot of security incidents, and as per NETSCOUT, IoT devices are typically attacked within five minutes, mainly through malicious servers. These statistics highlight the need to secure endpoints to prevent data loss and, in turn, financial loss. These statistics are also making enterprises realize the importance of better security. This factor drives the Market CAGR.

Additionally, the initiatives by the government and digitalization will lead to plenty of growth opportunities. In the last few years, the transformation of enterprises to digitalization has been immense. According to mart insights, over 31% of companies are already adopting digitalization.
