Container/Kubernetes Security Sector Driving Transformational Growth in Cloud Environments, Global, 2024–2028

Container/Kubernetes Security Sector Driving Transformational Growth in Cloud Environments, Global, 2024–2028


Adoption of Cloud-native Technologies and Rapid Utilization of Containers and K8s Drive Demand

Across industries, the mass adoption of cloud has resulted in rapid utilization of cloud-native technologies such as containers and Kubernetes (K8s). Containers and K8s allow organizations to build and run scalable applications; however, the widespread utilization of these technologies has created an expansive threat surface area and a more complex environment for organizations to manage and secure.

As a result, demand for container/K8 security solutions has increased for their capabilities such as automated container scanning, container image hardening, access policy controls, compliance checks, and real-time monitoring and detection of abnormal behaviors, which can help to ensure that the applications in containerized environments are secure and continuously protected.

This Frost & Sullivan research service provides insights into the global container/K8 security sector by verticals and horizontals. The report provides a global breakdown as well as regional breakdowns for North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America (LATAM), and Asia-Pacific (APAC). The analysis covers factors driving and restraining the adoption of container/K8 security solutions, revenue forecasts, pricing trends, competitive landscape trends, and insights for chief information security officers (CISOs). This study also identifies emerging growth opportunities that stakeholders and players should consider and leverage. The base year is 2023, and the forecast period is 2024 to 2028.
