Market overview of the cloud intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) market
Technavio’s market research analyst has estimated the global cloud intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) market to grow at an impressive CAGR of over 27% by 2020. The augmented adoption of mobile and connected devices is a significant factor that will result in the strong growth of this market during the forecast period. The rising need for continuous or uninterrupted connectivity between a corporate network and the employee has compelled corporations to implement the “bring-your-own-device” policy, which allows the use of personal portable devices like smartphones, tablets, and PCs to gain access to confidential work information. Since these devices are not secure, it is easy for hackers to gain unauthorized access to corporate data. This increase in the instances of fraudulent activities has forced enterprises to adopt cloud-based IDP solutions as it helps to secure their networks and provide secure access to confidential information.
In terms of geography, the Americas will be the largest market for cloud IDP solutions during the forecast period and will account for an impressive market share of more than 44% by 2020. Factors such as the availability of an adequate IT infrastructure, the presence of many global financial institutions and large companies, compliance regulations, and the increased adoption of technologies among organizations will lead to the steady growth of this market in the Americas.
