Cloud security posture management (CSPM) automates the detection and remediation of threats in cloud infrastructures such as Software as a Service (Saas), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS).

New York, July 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Cloud Security Posture Management Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Component, By Cloud Model, By Organization Size, By Vertical, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06289220/?utm_source=GNW
CSPM can apply best practices for cloud security across hybrid, multi-cloud, and container systems universally, and can be used for risk visualization and assessment, compliance monitoring, incident response, and DevOps integration. Numerous different networks might connect and disconnect from a cloud.

Security posture is termed as an organization’s total cyber-security strength and its ability to identify, avoid, and respond to the always-changing threat landscape. Security teams should be capable of understanding the attack surface, with efficient, real-time visibility into security flaws and risks, along with the track of the present position and effectiveness of security controls that have been placed, and prevent, detect, and remediate threats in order to have a robust security posture.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a way that brings these new technologies together by allowing infrastructure to be managed and provisioned with the use of machine-readable definition files. This API-driven approach is critical in cloud-first environments because it allows for quick infrastructure changes while also making it easy to program in misconfigurations that make the environment vulnerable.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a huge increase in the number of people using internet for employment, education, and leisure. Other crucial areas, such as banking, finance, and insurance, as well as retail and government, have seen large increases in user traffic on their websites and online portals. This expansion has resulted in a significant increase in bandwidth demand, as well as an unexpected increase in the number of cyber-attacks like Ransomware, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), and other threats.

Market Growth Factors

Less Visibility Over It Infrastructure And Growth In Configuration Errors

The likelihood of misconfigurations has increased dramatically as cloud adoption has grown. Cloud security and posture management aid monitoring through automation, allowing security workers to resolve issues as soon as it is notified. For example, as per a CheckPoint analysis, the most significant danger in 2020 will be a cloud platform setup problem (68 percent), followed by unauthorized cloud access (58 percent), insecure interfaces (52 percent), and account theft (52 percent) (50 percent). Recently, Capital One, an American financial organization, had a misconfigured threat detection on SQL databases, leaving the cloud vulnerable to vulnerabilities and data breaches.

Migration To The Cloud Allows For Management Of Cloud Security Posture

The cloud sector has gotten a huge boost because of increased agility and faster delivery of new apps and services. Traditional businesses are under enormous competitive pressure as a result of technological improvements. Most firms migrate their old IT infrastructure from on-premises to the cloud in order to become faster, more agile, and more competitive. Migration of traditional data center activities to the cloud can result in higher expenditures, limited capacity of IT team equipment, and a loss of vision, all of which raise the need for cloud security posture management. During the pandemic, there was a dramatic spike in the adoption of cloud services and services across different industrial verticals.

Market Restraining Factors

Scarcity Of Competent Experts To Handle And Secure Cspm Solutions

When it comes to the actual use of CSPM solutions, specialists or personnel must have the necessary technical skills and knowledge to execute, process, analyze, and secure the cloud solutions. While executing and handling operations, organizations hiring security specialists lack the necessary expertise to analyze and discover advanced security holes. According to the Fortinet and Cyber-security Insiders 2021 Application Security Report, a shortage of experienced employees is the main barrier to securing cloud-based infrastructure for 46 percent of the questioned firms. This is a significant issue in the security business.

Component Outlook

On the basis of the Components, the cloud security posture management market is bifurcated into Solutions and Services. The services segment garnered a significant revenue share in the cloud security posture management market in 2021. The CSPM services segment includes deployment, consulting, maintenance, and managed services (as-a-service). Services aims to educate and create expertise, deliver timely solution upgrades, and support clients in combining them with other information technology (IT) solutions. With the growing usage of CSPM systems, the demand for assistance services is projected to rise as well.

Vertical Outlook

On the basis of Vertical, the cloud security posture management market is bifurcated into Government, BFSI, IT and ITeS, Healthcare and life sciences, Retail and Commerce, Education, and others. The BFSI segment acquired the highest revenue share in the cloud security posture management market in 2021. The requirement for CSPM solutions is expanding in response to the banking industry’s demand for cloud computing. While the industry was a pioneer in the case of essential financial systems, where security, privacy, and asset management are still top of mind. To accelerate innovation and better serve customers, companies in these industries are rapidly adopting cloud-native technology and DevOps automation.

Organization Size Outlook

By the Organization Size, the cloud security posture management market is divided into large organizations and SMEs. The Small and Medium-sized enterprises segment garnered a substantial revenue share in the cloud security posture management market in 2021. The best feature of CSPM solutions is that it is cost-efficient and most small and medium-sized firm are increasingly adopting cloud security posture management. The cloud security posture management system is easy to be implemented by small and medium enterprises.

Cloud Model Outlook

On the basis of the Cloud Model, the cloud security posture management market is segmented into Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service. Infrastructure as a Services segment acquired the highest revenue share in the cloud security posture management market in 2021. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is referred as a pay-as-you-go cloud computing service that offers on-demand compute, storage, and networking capabilities. Alongside platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and serverless, IaaS is one of the four categories of cloud services. The infrastructure as a service (IaaS) layer is the foundation of the cloud computing model. Iaas providers include Linode, DigitalOcean, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace, Microsoft Azure, Cisco Metapod, and Google Compute Engine (GCE).

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the cloud security posture management market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.North America emerged as the leading region in the cloud security posture management market with the largest revenue share in 2021 and is expected to continue this trend over the forecast period. Despite its strict rules, the United States provides numerous chances for CSPM providers to serve a diverse spectrum of consumers in a variety of industries. To sustain operational functionality, and business continuity, and prevent misconfiguration, North American organizations have taken multiple steps forward into cloud adoption and are progressively adopting cloud data protection methods like data encryption, DLP, data integrity monitoring, and data threat protection, and CSPM.
