As organizations adopt multiple SaaS applications and rely heavily on APIs for integration and data exchange, the attack surface has expanded, making proactive security measures essential. At the same time, the increasing need for compliance with strict regulatory requirements is pushing enterprises to adopt advanced posture management tools. These solutions help maintain adherence to standards while reducing risks associated with misconfigurations, data exposure, and evolving cyber threats.

"By solution, the SaaS security posture management (SSPM) segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
SSPM solutions segment is emerging as the fastest-growing within the SPM market as enterprises increase their reliance on SaaS platforms for critical business operations. Today, organizations use dozens or even hundreds of SaaS applications, creating complex environments where security teams struggle to gain complete visibility and control. A key challenge lies in the rise of shadow IT; according to a 2024 report, 65% of SaaS applications are being used without centralized IT oversight. This lack of governance exposes organizations to risks such as misconfigurations, unauthorized access, and compliance violations. SSPM solutions address these issues by continuously monitoring SaaS applications, detecting risky behaviors, and automating policy enforcement across diverse environments. As regulatory requirements tighten and SaaS ecosystems expand, enterprises adopt SSPM to strengthen resilience and ensure adherence to security standards. The demand for dedicated SaaS security reflects the growing awareness that traditional tools such as CSPM or IAM alone cannot safeguard the unique risks associated with SaaS environments. SSPM solutions, therefore, play a critical role in helping businesses balance agility with security, making them one of the most dynamic and essential segments in the SPM landscape.
"By application, the risk visibility & exposure management segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
The risk visibility and exposure management segment is witnessing the fastest growth in the SPM market as enterprises seek more profound insights into their security gaps and vulnerabilities across increasingly complex digital ecosystems. Organizations deal with hybrid infrastructures, multi-cloud environments, and SaaS applications that introduce a wide range of exposures, making real-time visibility a top priority for security leaders. According to a survey published in March 2025, nearly 78% of CISOs highlighted the lack of unified visibility across assets and identities as their most pressing security challenge. Risk visibility and exposure management solutions address this by providing contextual intelligence, mapping attack paths, and prioritizing remediation based on business impact rather than isolated alerts. They help security teams shift from reactive to proactive defense by continuously assessing risks and identifying potential exploitation scenarios before attackers can take advantage. The growing adoption of zero trust and risk-based frameworks is also accelerating demand, as these approaches require comprehensive visibility and continuous validation of controls. With the volume of cyberattacks increasing and misconfigurations remaining a leading cause of breaches, enterprises are turning to these solutions to enhance decision-making, reduce noise from fragmented tools, and ensure stronger resilience against evolving threats.
The US is expected to hold the largest market size in the North American region during the forecast period.
The US is expected to hold the largest share in the North American SPM market due to its mature digital ecosystem, high adoption of cloud technologies, and the increasing complexity of its cyber threat landscape. Organizations across industries such as banking, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure invest heavily in advanced security tools to strengthen resilience and meet stringent compliance mandates. The healthcare sector continues to face significant challenges, with IBM's July 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report identifying it as the industry with the highest average breach cost of 10.93 million dollars for the thirteenth consecutive year. This highlights the urgent demand for better visibility, risk assessment, and automated posture management solutions in the US market. The country also leads in regulatory enforcement, with frameworks such as HIPAA, CCPA, and sector-specific cybersecurity guidelines driving the adoption of risk-based posture management practices. In March 2025, a survey revealed that over half of security teams in US enterprises lack continuous visibility across their environments, creating gaps that attackers can exploit. These challenges, combined with rapid digital transformation, a highly regulated environment, and the scale of operations across large enterprises, position the US as the strongest contributor to regional growth.
