The global security analytics market is expected to exhibit strong growth during 2021-2026.
Security analytics refers to a proactive security approach that uses big data analytics and machine learning to gather, categorize and analyze data from network devices. It is primarily aimed at managing the security of an organization’s digital infrastructure and prevent advanced threats. It is based on data mining and threat detection algorithms that are focused on providing digital asset metadata, geo-location, threat intelligence and internet protocol (IP) context-related analytical results. It provides real-time alerts from workstations, servers, mobile devices, sensors and other endpoints, monitors network traffic volume and maintains third-party threat intelligence feeds.
The increasing number of cyber threats and security breaches across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. In line with this, the widespread adoption of security analytic tools across organizations for discovering patterns and prioritizing network-based threats to obtain insights for preventing data losses and future intrusions is also contributing to the market growth. The increasing utilization of cloud-based services and big data tools is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Cloud deployment of security analytics offers web-based management and enterprise-wide protection solutions that have enhanced scalability, network security and speed. Additionally, the development of network security analytics that can perform deep packet analysis of the network traffic to identify malware and mitigate it, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, including increasing investments by government and defense organizations to combat advanced cyber threats, along with the development of Next-generation firewalls, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), anti-malware gateways and endpoint security applications, are projected to drive the market further. Looking forward, the analyst expects the global security analytics market to grow at a CAGR of around 13% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
