The increasing adoption of cloud computing is anticipated to drive the growth of the security and vulnerability management market in the coming years. Cloud computing refers to the on-demand delivery of computing services - such as storage and software - over the internet, enabling businesses to access resources flexibly without the need for physical infrastructure. The growing popularity of cloud computing stems from its benefits, including flexibility, cost savings, scalability, and access to advanced resources without the burden of investing in or maintaining physical infrastructure. In the realm of security and vulnerability management, cloud computing provides scalable tools and services that enable real-time monitoring, detection, and response to potential threats and vulnerabilities. For instance, in April 2024, the European Commission, a Belgium-based government entity, reported that in 2023, 77.6% of large enterprises utilized cloud computing services, marking a 6-percentage-point increase since 2021. Additionally, 59% of medium-sized enterprises adopted cloud services in 2023, up from 53% in 2021, while small businesses saw usage rise by 3.8 percentage points, reaching 41.7% over the same timeframe. Thus, the growing adoption of cloud computing is fueling the expansion of the security and vulnerability management market.

The security and vulnerability management market is expected to grow due to the increasing number of cyberattacks. Cyberattacks, deliberate attempts to compromise computer systems, highlight the importance of security and vulnerability management in proactively addressing weaknesses. The Australian Cyber Security Centre reported a nearly 13% increase in cybercrime reports in 2022 compared to the previous financial year. The rising number of cyberattacks is a driving force behind the growth of the security and vulnerability management market.

Technological advancements are a key trend. In May 2022, New Relic, a US-based observability company, launched New Relic Vulnerability Management, enabling organizations to identify and address security risks more quickly and precisely. The platform allows comprehensive management of security and risk by aggregating native and third-party security signals across the entire software stack.
