Global Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Market Overview

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are cyber-attacks that are executed by a state or a nation or a group of criminals with the intention to steal data or to surveil the system, for a prolonged duration. The unauthorized user gains access to the host system or network and stays there, undetected, for an extended time span. APT Protection systems offer solutions against these attacks as they are a set of integrated technologies, used for the detection and elimination of threats, from the host system and network.

The increased adoption rate of cloud computing, enhanced demand for system integration and stringent government regulations for cyber security are some of the major factors that are augmenting the growth of the APT Protection market, globally.

Growth Factors

The increased adoption rate of cloud computing, enhanced demand for system integration, stringent government regulations for cyber security and the rising prevalence of cyberthreats and cyberattacks are some of the major factors that drive the growth of the APT Protection market.

Cyberthreats and cyberattacks are widely diverse in nature. Owing to their diversity, they exhibit persistent threat to all form of digital data and activities. Due to the large threat that they present, governments across the world have stringent laws and regulations to protect and maintain the digital safety of their population. This enhances the utilization of APT Protection systems in various sectors, ranging from small scale to large scale business enterprises.

Furthermore, with increased internet penetration, the demand for big data analytics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and system integration has been on the rise. These features require safe and secure solutions for their smooth and efficient functioning.

Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Market: Report Scope

Solution Segment Analysis Preview

The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) segment held a share of over 30% in 2020. This can be accredited to their features as IDS detects the presence of potential threats, in real time and based on these real time alerts, IPS works on strategies to evaluate and eliminate the risks and threats.

Subsequently, the Sandboxing segment and the Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) segment contribute to the APT Protection market, majorly. This is attributable to their distinguished ability of providing protection against a multitude of cyberattacks. Sandboxing, upon detection of threats, isolates them, thereby, preventing the host system. NGFW prevents the host system from advanced malware and application layer attacks. It also blocks unnecessary traffic, based on administrator protocols.

Owing to these features, IDS, IPS, Sandboxing and NGFW have found applications in a wide range of sectors such as information technology, ecommerce, retail, telecommunication and manufacturing industries, among others.

Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Market End-use Industry Segment Analysis Preview

In Global Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Market Report, The defense segment is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of over 17% between 2021 and 2028. This is attributable to the fact that intelligence organizations across the globe, operate in aggressive environments. Due to this, they need encrypted solutions for their communication systems, defense strategies and technologies. Additionally, there has been a rise in the frequency of cyberattacks, thus, the Defense segment relies on APT Protection systems for the protection of their data, systems, technologies and communications.

Subsequently, the Healthcare industry is expected to become one of the largest consumers of the APT Protection markets, during the forecast period. This is attributable to the rise of cyberattacks in the Healthcare segment. The healthcare industry registers a number of cyberattacks that include malware execution, data breaches, phishing, among others. These attacks disrupt their services and hinder patient care. These factors increase the adoption of APT Protection systems in the Healthcare segment.

Regional Analysis Preview

The North America region held a share of over 25% in 2020. This immense share can be credited to the presence of prominent players such as McAfee, Fortinet, FireEye, Cisco and Raytheon Technologies, in the region.

Additionally, the North American region has a huge Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector. It stores tremendous amount of data from credit cards, debit cards, transaction histories and web interactions. It is imminent to protect this data and this makes the BFSI sector one of the largest consumers of the APT Protection market.

Furthermore, the region has a large number of developed economies that invest in Research and Development (R&D) activities, for a wide number of applications. Subsequently, the region has been experiencing increased investments in security solutions for small and large-scale businesses.  The boom of R&D and small and large-scale enterprises in the region is expected to enhance the APT Protection market.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to reach a CAGR of over 20% between 2021 and 2028. The region is expected to become one of the largest APT Protection markets globally, during the forecast period. This massive growth can be credited to factors such as the presence of large number of developing economies, stringent government regulations, increased adoption of Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data Analytics, in the region.

Due to the presence of large number of developing economies, the region is investing in businesses such as retail, telecommunications, ecommerce, finance and technology. These sectors are among the top consumers of the APT Protection market. Additionally, government policies dictate protection of customer privacy which enables the enhanced usage of APT Protection systems in these sectors. Furthermore, the region is experiencing increased penetration of internet users. This presents a large number of security concerns that are tackled with the help of APT Protection system.
