Security testing is a process that identifies loopholes and weaknesses in the security mechanisms and helps protect data and maintain the functionality of an information system. It includes network, system software, server-side application, and client-side application securities, which assist developers in fixing security threats. It provides integrity, confidentiality, authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation. It also safeguards data, applications, software, and resources against threats, risks, malicious attacks, and vulnerabilities. Besides this, it aids in detecting possible security risks that can lead to information loss and damage the reputation of an organization. As a result, small, medium, and large-scale industries are increasingly adopting security testing solutions across the globe.

Security Testing Market Trends:
Rapid digitization and the emerging trend of automation across different industry verticals are resulting in increasing cases of cybercrimes. This is escalating the need for security testing to avoid security breaches and unauthorized access to confidential data. In addition, the rising trend of remote working models continues business processes and maintains social distancing. This model offers network connections to multiple devices with different security controls, thereby increasing security concerns. In line with this, the widespread adoption of internet of things (IoT) devices and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is stimulating the growth of the market. As IoT-connected devices are an integral part of our daily lives, these devices must undergo testing and establish a minimum baseline for security. Furthermore, rigorous government regulations are resulting in the increasing adoption of security testing solutions and services, which is strengthening the growth of the market. Moreover, the burgeoning e-commerce industry is encouraging organizations to incorporate security testing solutions that help monitor vulnerabilities and reduce the threat landscape.
