The security as a service market is witnessing a significant surge due to the rising need to protect the enterprises and consumers from cyberattacks that lead to data breaching and financial losses. The rise in the utilization of cloud services due to its multiple features have led to a complete transition of the way data is stored. Additionally, the high risk and cost to manage the on-premise security solutions, advancement of the technical infrastructure, and cost-effective plans by the key players fosters the market growth. However, the free services given by some companies restrain market growth.

Impact of COVID-19

The pandemic has compelled a lockdown in many countries globally. Social distancing and quarantine have dragooned the companies to offer complete work from home facility, further driving the utilization of security software to stay protected from the increasing cybercrimes. As stated by the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, the number of phishing attacks has grown from 0.1 million to 0.5 million from January to March 2010, further driving the demand for security services.
