North America Data-Centric Security Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Component, Deployment Mode, Organization Size, and Verticals

The data-centric security market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 1,739.74 million in 2022 to US$ 6,443.72 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 24.4% from 2022 to 2028.

The COVID-19 outbreak accelerated the shift from office environments to remote work scenarios (work from home), emphasizing data-centric security more. In 2020, organizations had to navigate a wave of IT architectural change and move to a remote work environment. The employee's sudden and unexpected move to home offices has accelerated enterprises' need to move to the cloud to keep their business running. Integrating meeting solutions, cloud servers, and security quickly became commonplace.

• Based on the survey conducted by Barracuda, 53% of respondents said the COVID-19 crisis prompted them to accelerate their plans to move all their data to a 100% cloud-based model. Hence, the plan to move all data to a 100% cloud-based model increased the emphasis on data-centric security in the cloud, as companies are highly concerned about sharing crucial data with unauthorized internal users.

Furthermore, according to a McAfee Enterprise and FireEye report, 81% of businesses experienced an increase in cyber threats during the pandemic, and 79% experienced downtime due to cyber incidents during the peak season, thereby increasing the demand for cybersecurity solutions. In addition, several medium- and large-sized enterprises increased their annual data security spending. CSO's 2021 Security Priorities Report shows that 44% of security leaders expect their budgets to increase in the next 12 months. There is a slight increase from the 41% budget increase in 2021 compared to 2020. Hence, owing to the new and unforeseen breaches, organizations are evolving from traditional infrastructure-centric security measures with multiple layers of defense to a data-centric approach that protects the data. Data-centric security solutions enable organizations to collaborate while maintaining high levels of security and transparency and revoking access to sensitive data accidentally shared via email. Thus, the factors mentioned above are driving the market growth.

Market Overview

The North American data-centric security market is spread across the US, Canada, and Mexico. The region invests heavily in data security solutions to prevent intellectual property theft and compromise systems that monitor and control the country's defense systems and capabilities. To keep pace with modern defense advancements, countries like the United States have developed new technologies, such as unmanned vehicles, hypersonic weapons, etc. These advancements rely heavily on data and connectivity, making them vulnerable to breaches and attacks. The adoption of data-centric security solutions is likely to grow with the increasing internet penetration in the region. In addition, expanding wireless networks for mobile devices has increased data vulnerability, making data security an essential and integral part of every regional organization. As a result, there is a growing necessity for the region to focus on developing countermeasures to protect critical information. The US federal government is in a unified effort to launch one of the largest federal change initiatives, accelerating the adoption of data-centric securities that help drive market growth.
