Penetration Testing Software Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Type (Cloud-Based and On-Premises), Enterprise Size (Large Enterprises and SMEs), and Application (Web Application, Network Infrastructure, Mobile Application, Social Engineering, and Others)

The global penetration testing software market is expected to grow from US$ 1,411.9 million in 2021 to US$ 4,045.2 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2021 to 2028.

Compliance is one of the most critical issues that an organization must address, as any failures can have far-reaching consequences. Not only do government-required regulations and industry standards' bodies often require compliance for organizations to meet or maintain certification, but client organizations may also require verifiable conformity to conduct business. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a Pass/Fail approach to many security aspects, as excellence has fallen victim to expediency. As a result, penetration tests are sometimes misunderstood as check-the-box activities to meet expectations. On the other hand, penetration tests can help to improve security posture when done correctly.

Furthermore, Penetration testing software market is required by regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), SOC2, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), OWASP, and Network and Information Security (NIS), and failure with such regulations results in substantial fines imposed on enterprises. According to RedScan, enterprises are required to develop a procedure for regularly testing and reviewing the efficiency of technological and organizational measures to maintain data processing security under GDPR Article 32. Obtaining information on technical security vulnerabilities, evaluating exposure to these vulnerabilities, and taking appropriate steps to address the associated risks in a timely way are all requirements of ISO 27001's objective A.12.6.1. Penetration testing is also required annually or after any significant modifications to infrastructure, according to PCI DSS 3.2 Requirement 11. As a result, strict rules requiring regular penetration testing boost the demand for penetration testing software market.
