Global Zero Trust Security Market - 2022-2029

Global Zero Trust Security Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Zero trust security market was worth US$ XX million in 2022 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Zero trust security refers to a high level of security used to protect sensitive organizations from cyberattacks and other malicious activities. Zero trust security means no one is trusted, not even inside employees. Zero trust security uses secure two-step authentication services for anyone trying to gain access. Every person trying to gain access is regarded as a hostile actor unless authenticated. Business and governmental organizations handle and store sensitive data; zero-trust security is primarily implemented by businesses handling and storing sensitive data.

Market Dynamics

The rise in targeted cyber-attacks mainly drives the demand for zero-trust security. High implementation costs for zero-trust security are a key factor in limiting the growth of the global market.

The rise in targeted cyberattacks

Almost all services such as banking, entertainment and retail have migrated to online spaces, expanding the reach and reducing costs for businesses and consumers. Similarly, digitalizing government services has increased simplicity and convenience for citizens. The frequency and intensity of cyberattacks have grown in conjunction with the proliferation of digital technologies.

Hackers and cybercriminals carry out targeted cyberattacks to capture sensitive information. Attackers typically capture the login details of an insider and use them to mimic the person and gain access inside. Targeted cyberattacks result in financial losses, data breaches and loss of intellectual property. A serious cybersecurity breach can precipitate a major national security crisis for militaries and governments. Therefore, the adoption and implementation of zero-trust security are rising among governmental and business organizations. Zero trust security treats all organizations' employees as hostile without proper authentication and prevents access. The rise in targeted cyberattacks is a key driver for the growth of the global zero trust security market.

High implementation costs for zero-trust security

The implementation of zero-trust security requires high capital expenditure. The security system entails the use of proprietary software along with exclusive user license agreements. Hardware for biometric and physical verification may be required, especially as a backup for sensitive governmental and military installations. Furthermore, organizations also sign long-term contracts with cybersecurity service providers for support and upgrades.

Unlike major business organizations and governmental agencies, small enterprises cannot afford the high costs of zero-trust security. The lack of access to cheap credit and limited capital funding for upgrades prevent smaller organizations from adopting zero-trust security solutions. Furthermore, smaller companies do not see any benefits in the trade-off between large capital expenditures upfront and marginal gains to security in the medium and long term. Therefore, the high implementation costs for zero-trust security are a key challenge to the growth of the market.

COVID-19 impact analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic benefited the global zero trust security market. Various governments and regulatory bodies require both public and private companies to implement new practices for working remotely while maintaining social distance amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Many business organizations have adopted remote work and digital practices as their primary continuity means. Because of the widespread adoption of work-from-home opportunities, people are becoming more inclined to use digital technologies (WFH). The global spread of the internet has aided in adopting digital technologies.

Hackers and cybercriminals have taken advantage of the critical reliance on IT infrastructure to conduct data breaches and other attacks. Businesses have implemented zero trust security solutions to prevent unauthorized access and cyberattacks. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the organization and dispatch of human resources for zero-trust security solution field deployment were pushed back. Because of the growing and evolving cyber threats, the market for zero-trust security is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

Segment Analysis

The global zero trust security market is segmented into authentication, solution, end-user and regions. The zero-trust security market is segmented into IT and telecom, BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare, energy and power, retail, government and others. The banking and financial services industry (BFSI) leads within this segmentation.

It has become an industry-wide standard for companies to implement zero-trust security since unauthorized access can result in huge financial losses. Criminals use sophisticated phishing, ransomware and malware attacks to attack banks and financial infrastructure.

Open banking solutions that are common today raise the risk by multiplying the interconnectedness between banks, providers, partners, vendors and customers, introducing systemic risk. Banks are large organizations that deal with large networks of data and applications accessed by employees, customers and partners, making cyber protection more difficult. Zero-trust security allows companies to take a more nuanced approach to managing identity, data and device access.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the leading regional share in the global zero trust security market. The region accounts for the largest market share globally, primarily due to U.S., which has an advanced economy and is leading in IT and other emerging technologies. U.S. is the primary hub for a large number of global corporations.

U.S. is the world leader in several high-tech industries, including information technology, space research, quantum computing, data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and Netflix are all headquartered in U.S. Many leading financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Citibank, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley are based in U.S. Vast amounts of confidential information are stored in these companies' servers.

Furthermore, U.S. government and all of its branches, including U.S. military, store any data, including confidential information and government secrets, on its internal servers. Individuals, corporations and the government are at risk of cyber-attacks that could disrupt the country and lead to massive global shocks. As a result, data security has become a top priority. Zero-trust security has been mandatory in many high-profile companies and governmental organizations. North America is expected to hold the largest regional share in the global zero-trust security market.
