Big Data Security Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

The big data security market is expected to register a CAGR of 17.95% over the forecast period. Security is a significant concern that restricts enterprises from opting for big data deployments on-premise, hosted on the cloud, or in virtual environments.

• When cybercriminals target large data sets, the payoff is frequently well worth the effort required to breach security layers, which is why big data has major potential for businesses and cyber criminals. They have a lot more to gain when they go after such a massive data set. As a result, companies lose a lot more if they are subjected to a cyberattack without adequate security measures.
• Many companies, especially those that deal with huge amounts of data, need traditional data mining and cyber-attack protection tools and techniques.As a result, cybersecurity professionals are increasingly turning to big data analytics. With data being routed through a circuitous path from a data source (such as CRM or sensors) to data storage and analysis, the big data environment is vulnerable and a valuable target for intruders.
• Although enterprises deploy big data platforms using the Hadoop open-source framework or other sources, the frameworks need comprehensive security plans. The inherent mechanisms have limitations that may need to be secured more than just by data encryption; many tech companies are bringing cloud solutions to the market to solve this issue. For instance, in August 2021, McAfee Enterprise announced that MVISION Cloud is a secure access service edge (SASE) offering called MVISION Unified Cloud Edge (UCE). This solution extends the capabilities of Dynamics 365 by utilizing a frictionless API-based cloud-native approach; this demands the security of big data in enterprises.
• The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic benefited the global market. The big data security industry was predicted to rise following the COVID-19 pandemic, as many organizations were forced to switch to working from home and remote working modes due to the fast spread of coronavirus around the globe. As a result of increasing online activity and growth in cyber-attack frequency, masses of new raw data were created, propelling the growth of the big data security market.

According to Cyber Risk Management, the amount of data compromises in the U.S. reached 817 in the first half of last year. During the same period, over 53 million people were harmed by data thefts, including data leaks, breaches, and exposure. In addition to the COVID pandemic, more people are working from home because they don't have the same level of protection or deterrent measures as those who work in an office (e.g., internet security).

• At the application level, a security breach can happen to any company that has a large online presence.Denial-of-service attacks on a company's website or apps are common and can have a big effect on operations all along the supply chain.According to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence study, these attempts are second only to SQL injection in frequency, and in some situations, they are even politically driven.
• Cyberattacks are a digital pandemic sweeping the manufacturing industry, costing organizations millions of dollars in sales and hours from the production cycle. In the third quarter of last year, manufacturing accounted for 68% of all business ransomware outbreaks. Furthermore, Dragos revealed that manufacturers experienced seven times the number of industrial ransomware instances in the food and beverage business. Cyberattacks in the last year forced 44% of firms to temporarily shut down their manufacturing lines.
• For example, Nordex, a large company that makes wind turbines, saw a Conti ransomware attack on their network in April of last year. This caused many of their systems to go offline across all of their branches.The company disabled remote access to systems that controlled wind turbines and IT systems in order to stop the malware from spreading and limit the damage to their internal network.
• Governments across regions like Germany, the US, China, and India are focusing on smart manufacturing techniques by increasing automation and industrial control systems (ICS) (like SCADA, DCS, and PLCs). Using data from sensors and other industrial control devices, these techniques create a connected, automated environment and improve how well things work.
• The same industry trends that make manufacturing more streamlined, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), also exponentially increase the potential for cyber attacks. Such attacks, whether through cyber espionage, distributed denial of service (DDOS), or Web application attacks, can wreak havoc on a manufacturing company's reputation. If the breach is severe enough, a company might never regain its losses due to not taking appropriate data security measures.

The cybersecurity risks to the manufacturing sector include operational downtime due to physical damage, product manipulation, and the theft of intellectual property and sensitive data. Although the growth in industrial 4.0 practices across manufacturing industries provides more scope for big data analytics over the forecast period, security threats are reported to be a major concern for manufacturers. The factors mentioned earlier may discourage companies from incorporating digital capabilities, thus creating scope for big data security solutions.

• Large enterprises, including big tech companies in the region like Intel, increasingly embrace a big data environment. In addition, for Big Data projects, the White House has invested more than USD 200 million to make them vulnerable to threats. Data breaches are also on the rise, so the region's need for big data security is substantial.
• As the demand for big data security is directly proportional to the security of big data, the more big data generated, the higher the demand for the big data security market. Moreover, the region is the biggest start-up hub (with approximately 20,000 active start-ups). The need for Canada's big data security is increasing over the forecast period due to the high adoption rate of big data security and cloud services in major tech companies.
• Industries across the region are adopting big data security. The country's supermarket retail chain uses big data to learn more about its customers and offer value-added services and promotions, such as discounts and rewards. With the big data market expected to double by 2025 in Canada, the region is expected to be a substantial market after the United States.
• With the rise of remote work and the fact that thousands of businesses across the country didn't have the right protections, there were many bad actors in many industries.For example, in May 2021, a data breach at a vendor of Volkswagen came to light, which impacted more than 3.3 million customers in North America and included information about loan eligibility, as well as date-of-birth records and Social Security numbers. Surprisingly, the hacker identified was looking to sell the contents of the database for around USD 5,000.

Furthermore, various market players in the region are involved in various strategies to gain a competitive edge and increase their market share. For instance, in August last year, Microsoft Corp. and Barclays Bank PLC announced that Barclays had chosen Microsoft Teams as its primary collaboration platform, enabling collaboration for over 120,000 employees and service partners in critical locations worldwide. Barclays is consolidating its existing connectivity and collaboration capabilities under the arrangement, with Teams replacing multiple-point solutions previously in use throughout the organization.

High investment in research and development and advanced technological innovations to minimize malicious attacks is the key approach taken by major market vendors to gain a competitive edge. A few major players include Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Broadcom Inc. (Symantec Corporation), IBM Corporation, and Amazon Web Services. The market is highly competitive and consists of several major players—the players with a major share of the market focus on increasing their customer base across different regions.

In July 2022, Seclore announced a partnership with global IT solutions aggregator TD SYNNEX. This partnership will enable enterprises to access complete solutions to solve their data protection challenges with real-time tracking and visibility of both authorized and unauthorized activity on the data to identify suspicious behavior, evolve data security policies, take immediate action on security permissions, and even complete removal to prevent data loss.

Anaconda Inc., which makes the most popular data science platform in the world, recently announced a partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to deliver safe, open-source Python and R tools and packages by integrating and allowing Anaconda's repository over OCI Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Services.Customers can use Anaconda services from OCI without the need for a separate business license.

In November 2022, Kyndryl collaborated with AWS on processes and technologies to support greater visibility, threat intelligence, and faster execution of threat intelligence to minimize and reduce time and money to detect and resolve a major incident and the downtime of a cyber event.
