Cloud Security in Banking Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The market for cloud security solutions in the banking sector is set to grow at a CAGR of 33.1% for the forecast period (2021 - 2026). More and more financial institutions are using blockchain technology or are in the process of implementing blockchain capabilities as it provides a very high level of safety and security when it comes to exchanging data, information, and money.

Key Highlights

• An increase in cybersecurity threat is driving the market as for banks. This threat is particularly imposing, as breached data exposes the opportunity for immediate and future theft. Cloud computing provides a very high level of data protection, especially for sensitive data that includes customer information.
• Cost reduction, scalability, and efficiency by cloud computing are driving the market. Due to the constant decline in the absolute cost of IT equipment, many financial institutions have changed other production factors with IT. The essential idea of cloud computing is to deliver IT services, such as computer infrastructure or storage in a utility, thus, making these services ultimately more flexible and cost-efficient.
• Additionally, meeting the customer demands immediately and the scalability of computer resources save the time of IT specialist and business users from engineering the system for peak load. Banks can handle the issues associated with security and privacy of data by building a hybrid cloud where important data keeps on private cloud and computing power resides in the public cloud.
• However, vulnerability to attack is still a challenge as in cloud computing, every component is online, which exposes potential vulnerabilities. Even the best teams suffer severe attacks and security breaches from time to time in a bank, which is a restraint to the market.

Key Market TrendsCloud Email Security Software to Grow Significantly Over the Forecast Period

• The banking industry is one of the top targets of hackers using phishing attacks to breach security. According to Kaspersky Lab, in 2018, the number of users attacked with banking Trojans was 889,452, which was an increase of 15.9% in comparison with 767,072 in 2017, globally.
• Recently, in May 2019, the UK banking giant, TSB, experienced one of these phishing-related emergencies. The messages were crafted to resemble authentic communications and informed recipients that TSB Bank accounts had been suspended due to “recent technical and security issues” and account verification is needed by which 1,300 customers reported their bank accounts had been robbed of everything they owned.
• Owing to this rise in mail phishing in banking, where fraudulent e-mails can look like they come from a real bank e-mail address, the need for security has gained significant importance. Cisco Advanced Phishing Protection deploys as a lightweight sensor via the cloud or on-premise, where the sensor receives all messages considered clean by the secure email gateway and determines if the message is malicious or not in the banking.

North America to Account for Significant Share

• North America is holding the highest share as the most number of data breaches in banks occur in this region. In July 2018, hackers used phishing emails to break into a Virginia bank in two separate cyber intrusions over eight months, making off with more than USD 2.4 million total. With rising cyberthreat, the need for cloud security software in North American banks is increasing which is driving the market.
• Most banks have begun to explore the cloud’s potential as a business building asset for transforming their operating and delivery models, clarifying requirements and governance issues and addressing regulatory and security issues in this region.
• Retail banks have been quick to explore cloud options. Accenture worked with a large bank in the United States to create a cloud architecture that would automate the conversion of data from multiple sources into useful insights for making business decisions and providing more security.
• Bank of America chooses the Microsoft Cloud to support digital transformation and help deliver new business efficiencies, support digital culture change, and meeting customer needs. Additionally, Bank of America is one such institution that won the best cloud initiative category at 2019 AFTAs for project Greenfield. The bank is aiming to host around 80 percent of its applications in its private cloud to secure all the customer data and give high cybersecurity.
