Managed Services Market Trends

Increasing Adoption of Cloud-based Managed Security Services MSPS will Contribute to Market Growth

The increasing adoption of cloud-based services is a major global trend. The rising demand for securing IT infrastructure against cyber threats has pushed organizations to adopt Managed Security Services (MSSs) in their business models. Cyber threats are evolving in both enterprises and government sectors, thus forcing MSPs to develop advanced offerings that can detect and address cyber risks. Various companies are focused on adopting cloud-based managed security services to boost their security against various email viruses, Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, and firewall intrusions. Key players are offering advanced cloud-based security services to cater to rising security needs. For instance,

• In May 2023, Ireland-based Ernst & Young Global Limited introduced managed security services for small and medium-sized enterprises facing cyberattack challenges. The company aims to offer cost-effective services to secure cloud-based infrastructure and modern tools.

The adoption of managed security services enables various organizations to handle an incident, monitor & manage ongoing cybersecurity risks, and detect threats. Therefore, the demand for cloud-based services will grow in the forthcoming years.

Managed Services Market Growth Factors

Growing Adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Among Organizations to Aid Market Growth

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is one of the primary components of digital technology and productivity, across various sectors in the current technology-driven business environment. Using a BYOD program enables employees to use their own devices for work purposes, leading to cost savings and increased flexibility for organizations. Syntonic reports that 87% of businesses depend on their employees’ personal mobile devices to access company apps.

The increased use of BYOD has increased the number of intelligent devices in the workplace, such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets. This would raise the risk of data integrity and security as the data moves across smart devices. As a result, many companies are turning to these services to monitor the security of these smart devices, thereby promoting the managed services market growth in the forthcoming years.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of IT Security Professionals May Hamper Market Growth

The lack of availability of IT and cybersecurity professionals is one of the major limitations to the growth of this market. This factor can hinder organizations’ ability to meet their IT security needs. A lack of valued IT security skills can leave organizations open to cyberattacks, resulting in data loss and reputation damage. With the growth of several cybersecurity threats, the requirement for advanced security solutions to deal with cyberattacks is growing exponentially. This highlights the need for cybersecurity training to help close the skills gap, introduce new talent to the work field, and make the organization more secure.

Moreover, many limitations, such as the demand for experienced professionals, ineffectiveness of the managed service model, data privacy & security issues, and requirement for large investments are projected to hinder the market’s growth.
