Insider Threat Protection Market Growth & Trends
The global insider threat protection market size is estimated to reach USD 13.69 billion by 2030, progressing at a CAGR of 17.4% from 2023 to 2030, as per a recent report by Grand View Research, Inc. Advances in emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT), have led to increased adoption of mobile apps and web applications, subsequently creating more complex IT infrastructure that can be vulnerable to insider threat attacks in organizations.
To address potential security challenges, such organizations are implementing security services to detect bugs, as well as analyze the security landscape, while efficiently responding to cyberattacks. The need to fix bugs in web applications as well as mobile apps, and to mitigate data loss risks associated with insider threats, is expected to fuel the adoption of ITP services over the forecast period.
Insider risk management solutions use innovative threat intelligence, machine learning, and behavioral analysis algorithms that detect threats and suspicious activities leading to security breaches. These solutions are designed to detect real-time potential threats on endpoint devices such as servers, memory devices, mobile devices, and other point-of-sale devices, thereby helping the organization enhance its security posture through rapid response capabilities. In July 2022, McAfee, LLC announced a strategic partnership with Telstra, an Australia-based telecommunications and technology company.
The partnership aims to deliver comprehensive protection solutions to safeguard the identity and privacy rights of consumers across applications, activities, devices, and locations. This partnership offered Telstra customers easy access to McAfee’s robust security solutions. These solutions deliver complete security and privacy protection, with integrated applications of Antivirus Protection, Parental Controls, VPN Security, and Identity Protection, among others to secure multiple devices, including mobiles, tablets, PCs, and laptops. Such developments would further drive the market for insider threat protection solutions during the forecast period.
However, the high cost of implementation, operation, and maintenance of insider risk management solutions among small- & medium-scaled enterprises are factors anticipated to hamper the market growth for insider threat protection solutions. The cost of implementing these solutions varies, depending on the size of the enterprise, endpoint devices, and the pricing model of the vendor. Furthermore, these solutions require additional hardware and software components that increase the overall deployment cost.
To overcome this, many vendors have started deploying cloud-based insider threat protection solutions, which are considered cost-effective alternatives to on-premise solutions and can be purchased on a subscription model, thereby saving costs for the customer. For instance, in January 2023, DoControl, a Software as a Service security platform provider, announced the expansion of its SaaS security platform with the launch of its Shadow Apps solution. It discovers, monitors, and remediates to protect organizations from SaaS supply chain attacks. The platform expansion provides complete control & visibility across all applications to close compliance gaps.
