Market segmentation of the data loss prevention application in APAC by type

• Network security            
• Endpoint security

The market share for endpoint security is negatively affected by the market share of network security. Endpoints such as desktops, workstations, smartphones, and tablets can be secured by using data loss prevention (DLP) applications that can be used for monitoring activity and detecting potential threats to data. Further, DLP applications can be used in removable devices such as USB sticks and DVDs that require data encryption for threat detection and data loss prevention.       

Increased demand for hybrid cloud-based solutions

Traditionally, DLP services were being provided by the vendors in the region as an on-premises application and managed application. On-premises DLP application required high investment by the organization, whereas, managed DLP services incurred a lower cost for organizations.

This trend eliminates organizational dependence on skilled workers, and it is expected to lower costs. Hybrid cloud-based DLP solutions follow the pay-per-use model, making it less expensive as compared to traditional full license security solutions.
