Global Cybersecurity Mesh Market Size, Share, & COVID Impact Analysis, By Deployment Type (On-Premise, Cloud, Hybrid), By Layer (Security Analytics and Intelligence, Distributed Identity Fabric, Consolidated Policy and Posture Management, and Consolidated Dashboards), By Industry (IT, BFSI, Healthcare, Energy and Utilities), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Cybersecurity mesh or cybersecurity mesh architecture is a cyber defense approach that independently protects every device with its perimeter, such as network securing tools or firewalls. Several security practices implement a single perimeter to safeguard the complete IT environment, although a cybersecurity mesh or CSMA makes use of a holistic strategy.

Enterprises functioning in a distributed cloud ecosystem end up with several constant upgraded tools, overpowering security teams till it affects security, which increases requirement for a new tool or solution to safeguard the IT environment.

For instance, according to Gartner's Top Cybersecurity Trends 2022, enterprises implementing mesh architecture would minimize the financial effect of individual security occurrences by an average of 90% by 2024.

• In June 2023, Eviden announced the launch of Alsaac Cyber Mesh, a modernized cybersecurity detection and response that is empowered by generative AI mechanisms. Alsaac Cyber Mesh provides an advanced end-to-end response, recovery, and detection solution that is developed on cybersecurity mesh architecture with predictive analytics.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Cybersecurity Mesh Market

The pandemic, unfortunately, generated limitless opportunities for hackers to prey upon susceptible, suddenly distantly working employees. It weakened security postures that permitted hackers to infect businesses across various industries with ransomware and cyberattacks, resulting in data breaches. As the post-COVID-19 impacts made remote working with hybrid workflows a popular model for enterprises, they looked to enhance the capabilities and capacity for distant working; implementing a cybersecurity mesh becomes an effective way to safeguard the asset's security and protection from advanced cyberattacks.  

The enterprises continuing to have a distributed network across different geographies can define security parameters over identities and devices, paving the opportunities for scalable and flexible cybersecurity mesh solutions in the market. Hence, the cybersecurity mesh is evolving as the effective practical approach to secure access and use of business applications from unsecured networks and personal devices.

Segmentation

Analysis by Industry

Cybersecurity mesh has a wide range of applications in several industries, such as IT, BFSI, healthcare, energy, and utilities, and others.

Implementation of cybersecurity mesh in the BFSI sector has maximum opportunities and demand in the market, as a cyber-attack in this sector opens various ways for spiteful attackers through various channels. The BFSI sector comprises various insurance companies, mutual funds, commercial banks, smaller and larger financial institutes, and non-financial firms. Also, there is larger involvement of money transactions with higher sums and other financial statements between organizations. Such factors increase the probability of cyberattacks and other ransomware attacks. The data is highly sensitive, and hence the chance for the adoption of cybersecurity mesh solutions in the sector is maximum. Such factors influence the growing demand for cybersecurity mesh solutions in the BFSI market.
