LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Demand for Cloud-based Cyber Security Solutions to Act as a Key Trend

Cloud computing is widely used due to its reliable and flexible architecture. With organizations moving toward a cloud environment, the need for security measures is increasing to safeguard the data from leaks. The hybrid-cloud method involves applications and services that can be configured and hosted locally and can be transferred to the cloud. Most organizations use the hybrid method since it proves to be more secure than affecting the entire thing to the cloud.

DRIVING FACTORS

Deployment of Security Solutions in BYOD Propels the South America Cyber Security Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic enabled companies to include a BYOD strategy as employees migrated to remote locations, resulting in hybrid work environments. Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) and the rising of social media have propelled industries to protect interconnections. Additionally, digital applications connected to the organization are of dynamic vulnerabilities.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Inadequate Budget for Installing the Cyber Security Software to Hinder Market Growth

Cybersecurity software solutions are less comprehensive and have no proper alignment regarding business objectives and security protocols. Moreover, cyber security systems emphasize protecting against external threats more than internal ones. Various reasons, such as lack of experts and professionals in emerging and evolving security solutions, are key detaining factors. The high cost of applying and updating internet security solutions and services hamper the product adoption among Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
