Global Security-as-a-service Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The Security-as-a-Service market reached US$ XX million in 2021 and is expected to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.20% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Security as a service (SECaaS) is a cloud-based delivery model for security technologies previously found in enterprise data centers or regional gateways. Since it provides secure access to applications and services regardless of where they are hosted or where users connect, security as a service has become an important business enabler in the increasing cloud and mobile world. With applications in the cloud and users connecting from anywhere, tying security to the data center makes no sense.

SaaS applications are rapidly replacing on-premises software for a variety of reasons. As they are accessed via the internet, they provide far greater availability and accessibility regardless of where users connect. Because it can be updated continuously in the cloud by the vendor, SaaS has lower upfront costs and easier management. SaaS is also scalable so that subscriptions can be adjusted per the number of users.

Market Dynamics

Increasing cybercrime and the associated rise in the demand for cyber security are major market drivers for the global security-as-a-service market. However, excessive installation, deployment and maintenance costs could be a major market restraint.

Increasing cybercrime and the associated rise in the demand for cyber security

According to data, cyber-attacks are the fifth most dangerous risk in 2020 and have become the new norm in industries and businesses. In 2022, cyber threats will continue to rise, with IoT cyberattacks expected to double by 2025. Furthermore, according to the World Economic Forum's 2020 Global Risk Report, the detection (or prosecution) rate in U.S. is as low as 0.05 %.

Since the threat of cybercrime has increased by 600%, every sector has had to embrace new security and vulnerability analysis solutions, which reduces the time required to detect cyberattacks. As a result, security and vulnerability management solutions and services are rapidly increasing, fueled by organizations' growing critical need to prevent cyberattacks. As a result, rising cybercrime and increased demand for cyber security may be cited as significant market drivers for the global security and vulnerability management market.

Excessive installation, deployment and maintenance costs

Institutions store extremely sensitive data and use vulnerability management solutions to safeguard it. However, implementing security and vulnerability management software and services can require a significant financial investment. For instance, tenable Nessus Pro with a commercial license starts at around US$ 3,000 per year, whereas Tenable.sc pricing starts at around US$ 13,000 for 500-1,000 IP assets.

Tenable.io pricing starts at US$D 2,380 per 65 assets for one year. While large organizations can afford to cut costs, small and medium-sized businesses that lack the financial resources to implement costly security and vulnerability solutions will be unable to implement these products. As a result, exorbitant installation, deployment and maintenance costs may limit the growth of the global security and vulnerability management market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Adopting rapid digital transformation strategies in response to COVID-19 has resulted in an immediate increase in the number of access points and endpoints, which has resulted in a rapid increase in event log data, followed by other issues such as performance, accessibility, security and increased IT costs, necessitating security and vulnerability management solutions and services. COVID-19 has increased the importance of centrally managing multiple cloud resources in organizations. As a result, there is an increased demand for security and vulnerability management solutions and services to ensure the safety of cloud services, applications and infrastructure.

However, due to benefits such as scalability and external expertise, cloud-based security and vulnerability management solutions and services were in high demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The exponential increase in data flow resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak complicates and lengthens the analysis process, emphasizing market security and vulnerability management products. Nonetheless, because the current work culture model is widely accepted globally and the chances of reverting to the previous one are remote, the market prospects for security and vulnerability management are expected to improve even after the pandemic is completely eradicated.

Segment Analysis

The global security-as-a-service market is classified based on component, enterprise size, application, end-user and region.

Growing digitalization in the BFSI sector increases the demand and market share of security-as-a-service in the respective sector

Banking, finance and insurance (BFSI) are data-driven industries with numerous data sources. Cash payments, ATM money transfers, new accounts, online banking and card transactions are all data sources. Banks and financial institutions can obtain information from various sources, including transaction details, support line data, emails, social networks, external feeds and loan data.

The BFSI vertical requires a large-scale safety and intrusion prevention solution due to the daily volume of data for digitizing their procedures and ensuring the smooth operation of their businesses. Minor flaws can result in massive losses for the IT company and other businesses. As a result, the BFSI vertical constantly incorporates advanced security-as-a-service solutions and services to improve overall security, dominating the end-user segment.
