Global Container Security Market: Overview

A container is a standard package of software. It bundles an application code along with the associated libraries and configuration files as well as the dependencies that are required to run the application. This enables IT professionals and developers to effortlessly deploy the applications. Container security provides security to such containers to ensure they are running as planned including software supply chain, infrastructure protection, runtime, and many more. Such a security platform also offers enhanced transparency as well as complete visibility into the container activity. This helps to identify threats & vulnerabilities and execute appropriate regulatory policies.

Global Container Security Market: Growth Factors

The rising number of threats and cyber-attacks, growing demand for microservices, and rising adoption of digital transformation are some of the key factors that are fueling the growth of the global container security market. Moreover, the rising number of open-source vendors that provides container security platform is also contributing to the growth of the market. In addition to this, there is growing acceptance of cloud-based technologies by small & medium as well as large enterprises. Also, there is a great demand for cloud computing which includes cloud security, hybrid cloud solutions, and cloud services & solutions like IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS.

Moreover, the IT processes have also become more responsive and innovative with the development and migration of the applications to the cloud. Considering all these factors, there is a huge demand for container security which is ultimately driving the growth of the global market. Additionally, adherence to several regulations & compliances and a rising number of new players due to progressions in ready security and compliance platform is also spurring the growth of the global market. Furthermore, the increasing investments by the major players in R&D for better innovations and technological advancements may lead to good opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, lack of technical expertise, as well as the lack of knowledge about container security and technologies, may restrain the growth of the global container security market.

The covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the strict lockdown in most of the countries. Offices are been shut down and the employees are working from home during the pandemic. Around 80 percent of the organizations have implemented a work from home rule for their employees and around 20 to 30 percent of the offices may continue to work from home in 2021 as well. This has resulted in the transition of network utilization. Moreover, there is increased data in motion through emails, video conferencing, and remote applications that have resulted in the overloading of critical infrastructure. Furthermore, there is also an increase in cyber-attacks and vulnerabilities. Thus, the ability of the container security platform to provide vulnerability management and runtime protection to the cloud workload is resulting in the huge demand for container security thereby boosting the growth of the global container security market.
