The growing cybersecurity threats are expected to drive the expansion of the data catalog market in the future. Cybersecurity threats refer to potential risks arising from vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, and digital infrastructure. Factors contributing to these increasing threats include the widespread use of IoT devices with insufficient security features, emerging attack methods, and the lack of comprehensive cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and access controls. Data catalogs play a crucial role in supporting compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS by offering visibility into data usage, storage, and access patterns. Organizations can utilize data catalogs to show compliance with regulatory standards, enforce data retention policies, and monitor data access for audit purposes. For example, a report by Check Point, a cybersecurity provider based in Israel, revealed that cyber-attacks are escalating globally. In Q2 2024, corporate network attacks rose by 30% compared to Q2 2023 and by 25% from Q1 2024, with organizations facing an average of 1,636 attacks per week. As a result, the increase in cybersecurity threats is fueling the growth of the data catalog market.

Key players in the data catalog market are actively focusing on developing new technologies, including a new data management service with machine learning capabilities, to gain a competitive edge.
