Global Penetration Testing Market: Overview

Penetration testing is also called ethical hacking or pen testing. It is a basic framework to check the computer, network, and associated web applications and hunt security vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to damage the system. It helps in enhancing the existing security procedures in information systems and supporting applications. It also helps in exploiting the weakness in the system safely. Such assessments can assist in validating the efficacy of defensive measures implemented for security purposes.

Global Penetration Testing Market: Growth Factors

The advancing cyber-attacks result in reputation and financial losses for organizations. However, the high penetration rate of smartphones, along with growing internet penetration, is one of the major factors responsible for advancing cyber-attacks in today's world. In addition, the stringent rules and regulations along with compliances mandate common penetration testing practices are also likely to fuel its adoption rate. Regulations like NAS, OWASP, PCI DSS, SOC2, SOX, and GDPR mandate the adoption of penetration testing frequently. For instance, according to RedScan, the organizations, as per GDPR Article 32, are likely to implement frequent testing processes for evaluating the effectiveness of the organization's measures and technicalities to ensure the safety and security of data processing. The cyber security sector is expected to foresee the surge in the trend of cloud-based penetration testing, which is also known as penetration testing-as-a-service (PTaaS).

Solutions offer IT professionals the resources that are required to undertake and act upon continuous penetration tests. It includes a regular testing cycle and limitations. The continuous testing and remediation in penetration testing-as-a-service (PTaaS) states that in order to successfully combat and fight the massively transforming security stances of the organizations, there should be rigorous and ongoing testing management programs. All of these scenarios are projected to spur the growth of global penetration testing market during coming period. Manual and automated technologies are adopted in penetration testing to systematically compromise mobile devices, network devices, wireless networks, online applications, endpoints, and several other potential sources of exposure. Organizations all around the globe are rapidly digitizing their services and operations, thereby scaling up the reliance on data centers. Also, the processing and manufacturing sectors are highly appreciating the concept of industrial internet of technology (ioT) to enhance their operational efficiency that will significantly result in massive data collection and will also positively impact the growth of the global penetration testing market.

However, the spike in the number of data centers is highly thriving the global penetration testing market exponentially. In addition, the cloud computing platform is offering new avenues for businesses to extend their capabilities. Also, the wireless penetration testing method is significantly gaining traction among users due to the growing trend of bring your own devices (BYOD) in organizations. In addition, the spike in the adoption of connected devices is making them more prone to advanced persistent threats and vulnerabilities, therefore compelling users to adopt such wireless penetration testing solutions to avoid data leakage and cyber-attacks.
