Advanced Persistent Threat Protection Global Market Report 2024

The advanced persistent threat protection market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $7.53 billion in 2023 to $9.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.3%. The expansion observed during the historical period is primarily due to an uptick in high-profile cyberattacks, enhanced connectivity and digitalization, and the increasing interconnectedness of global networks.

The advanced persistent threat protection market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.9 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to the rise of hybrid work environments, an increase in ransomware and extortion attacks, and enhanced collaboration and threat sharing. Key trends expected during this period include the integration of AI and machine learning, the adoption of zero trust architecture, the sharing of threat intelligence, the implementation of cloud-native advanced persistent threat protection, and the integration of DevSecOps.

The escalating complexity of cyber threats is anticipated to drive growth in the advanced persistent threat (APT) protection market. Cyber threats, arising from increased technological advancements, enhanced connectivity, the professionalization of cybercrime, and widespread unawareness, are malicious activities exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, software, or data. APT protection offers a robust strategy to defend against sophisticated, prolonged cyber-attacks conducted by highly skilled adversaries, typically possessing significant resources. This type of protection is essential for the effective detection, prevention, and response to complex cyber threats. For instance, the Australian Cyber Security Centre reported a 13% increase in cybercrime reports in 2022, totaling 76,000 cases. This highlights the growing sophistication of cyber threats and underscoring the expanding market for APT protection.

Leading companies in the APT protection market are innovating to meet the rising security needs associated with the increasing use of mobile devices in professional settings. An example of such innovation is the Jamf Executive Threat Protection, a cutting-edge detection and response solution specifically tailored to counter sophisticated mobile attacks. Launched by Jamf, a US-based software company, in April 2023, this solution offers comprehensive capabilities to detect and neutralize advanced mobile threats, ensure extended visibility into organizational mobile fleets, identify potential compromises, and construct timelines of suspicious activities for effective response to APTs. This solution addresses the unique challenges posed by mobile threats, especially targeting high-value individuals such as government officials, journalists, and senior corporate executives, enhancing overall mobile security.

In December 2022, Proofpoint Inc., another prominent US-based software company, acquired Illusive, an Israel-based developer of cybersecurity solutions focused on thwarting attacks against enterprise systems. This acquisition is set to enhance Proofpoint’s capabilities in identifying vulnerable identities within organizations, provide deeper insights into privileged access attack surfaces, and bolster protections for Very Attacked People (VAPs), thereby strengthening its overall APT defense offerings.

Advanced persistent threat (APT) protection encompasses a robust strategy and suite of defenses that organizations deploy to guard against sophisticated and sustained cyber-attacks perpetrated by adept adversaries. This protection is designed to secure computer networks, systems, and data from intricate and persistent cyber threats carried out by highly skilled and motivated entities.

The several types of advanced persistent threat protection are security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint protection, intrusion detection system/intrusion prevention system (IDS/IPS), next-generation firewall (NGFW), and threat intelligence platforms. SIEM represents a sophisticated approach to security management by integrating security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM) into a cohesive solution. This technology offers a range of services including professional and managed services, and supports both cloud and on-premise deployments. It caters to various enterprise sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations, across multiple industries such as banking, financial services, insurance, information technology, telecommunications, retail, e-commerce, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, energy, utilities, government, and defense.
