Furthermore, the growing integration of the technologies like ML and AI in penetration testing and the rising inclination towards the adoption of penetration testing-as-a-service (PTaaS) and remote working security assessments are also creating lucrative opportunities for penetration testing market growth in the near future.
The arrival of the COVID-19 worldwide has shown a substantial impact on the various sector of the global economy. The government of numerous regions executes stringent social distancing norms and lockdown in multiple regions to prevent the spread of contagious coronavirus.
Accordingly, many enterprises are inclining toward adopting digital solutions for carrying out business activities during this period. Therefore, the transformation of the business activity from traditional to digital mode is acting as a catalyzing factor for the adoption of penetration testing. Hence, the outbreak of the COVID-19 has exhibited an upsurge in the penetration testing market demand and is anticipated to lead in the forecasting years.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The rising number of data centers is one of the chief driving factors as penetration testing is a significant component that ensures a high level of security in the data center, which may propel the penetration testing market demand across the globe. This test is also beneficial for organizations during security assessments and security audits. Nowadays, data consumption has surged due to the growing adoption of mobile devices, rising industrial automation, and the availability of high-speed internet connections.
The increase in the data volume presents various opportunities for the data center as enterprises are significantly inclined towards digitizing their services and operations, resulting in rising dependence on data centers. Moreover, the rising adoption of the cloud computing platform is further propelling the penetration testing market growth.
The Cloud computing platform presents numerous innovative business opportunities and capabilities to enterprises and industries. Cloud-based storage is gaining massive traction among enterprises and replacing traditional physical servers. The cloud computing platform is accessible at a low cost and can strengthen the business expansion at a nominal investment. For instance, in 2018, Amazon accounted for nearly USD 25 Bn from its cloud services.
Further, Apple is investing about USD 306 million in Amazon’s cloud annually. However, its cloud solutions are more susceptible to getting hacked, propelling the need to get secured from malicious code. Therefore, the factors accelerate the demand for penetration testing to ensure additional security in a cloud computing platform. Hence, these factors spurring the industry demand over the forecasting years.
