North America Network Encryption Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Components (Hardware, Solutions, Software), By Deployment Mode (Cloud-based, On-premises), By Size of Organization (Small, Medium-sized, Large enterprises), By End Use Industry (Telecom and IT, BFSI, Government, Media and entertainment, Others) and By Country(US, Canada) Forecasts, 2022-2030

Market Overview

North America is expected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 9.5% in North America Network Encryption market. Network encryption is a type of security that is applied to an organization's network in order to protect and control data internally. Even when data is stored and shared internally within the same organisation, the data could still be at risk.

When using network layer encryption, data is encrypted as it travels from one node to another, and then it is decrypted once it reaches its destination. This strategy, when carried out accurately, contributes significantly to the success of the "defence in depth" method of data protection by adding an essential layer of encryption to the data at the network level.

There are numerous reasons why data security is critical. Our customers' financial information must remain secure, and their personal information must be kept private in order to comply with regulations as well as to ensure that our customers' privacy is respected. If a company is able to stop breaches before they happen, they eliminate the risk of incurring legal liability, which puts them at risk of being sued, which can be both financially damaging and damaging to their reputation. Data is a significant source of value for businesses, but it is also a source of risk and must be treated as such.

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

• Growing ransomware attacks in North America would increase the demand for network encryption

Growing network security breach and because of that increasing ransomware attacks has become a big concern for the Governments, Corporates & Individuals in North America. Recently, North America has topped the list in ransomware attacks. The frequency, severity, and level of sophistication of ransomware attacks in the United States rose dramatically in 2021 compared to the previous year. This trend is expected to continue as long as profit incentives remain high and outweigh perceived risks of criminal prosecution in the United States.

Since the pandemic, cybercrime has increased as businesses have expanded their remote access capabilities and digital footprints. The Senate report found that ransomware attacks on government entities outnumbered attacks on the private sector. Sectors such as healthcare and finance that contain valuable personal sensitive information, payment data, or intellectual property are frequently targeted.

Once inside the network, attackers have easy access to sensitive data. If the data is encrypted, they won't be able to access it unless they have a decryption key, preventing the data from being compromised. Many encryption tools provide military-grade AES-256 encryption, which is widely regarded as the most secure method of encoding messages at the moment. While an effective data security strategy should prevent businesses from reaching this point, having a backup plan is always useful.

Market Restraints

• Encryption is not working

External attackers have already compromised nearly 95% of all enterprise networks. Only 3% of organisations in the United States felt safe from insider threats.

It has been said that the loss of intellectual property from Fortune 500 companies alone constitutes the largest wealth transfer in the history of the world. Hundreds of millions of consumers' personal information have been compromised. Annual losses to businesses and shareholders, both financial and reputational, amount to tens of billions of dollars. Reasons for why encryption is not working:

• You can’t encrypt systems.
• You can’t audit encryption.
• Encryption provides a false sense of security.
• Encryption is ineffective against the Insider Threat.
• The most serious threat in cyberspace is data integrity.
• These threats or reasons could impact the growth of North America Network Encryption market.
• Implementation of network encryption system is too costly & complicated.

Regional Analysis

The North American region dominated the global network encryption market. As one of the key countries in cybersecurity solutions, the United States contributes to North America's largest market share.

End-to-end encryption has been a major point of contention in the United States between large tech corporations and law enforcement. To combat this, three Republican senators introduced legislation in June 2020 that would require technology companies to provide a backdoor to end-to-end encrypted communication.

Despite the fact that companies such as Apple have always claimed that they are unable to do so because they do not have access to data encrypted with this type of encryption, the bill targeted companies that refused to cooperate with law enforcement to assist in the recovery of encrypted data, even when presented with a lawful warrant.

Segmental Analysis

The North America network encryption market has been divided into three on the basis of components: hardware, solutions, and software. It has been divided into two segments based on deployment mode: cloud-based and on-premises. Again, it has been divided into small, medium-sized, and large enterprises based on the size of the organisation. Further, it has been segmented based on end use industry into telecom and IT, BFSI, government, media and entertainment, and others.

The BFSI segment dominated the end-user North America network encryption market in North America. Banking, finance, and insurance (BFSI) are some of the largest investors and adopters in the network encryption market due to the high rate of network automation and the largest investment in encryption technologies. Increased usage of internet and mobile banking, a high rate of adoption of private networks, growing adoption of cloud and digital technologies, and growing network security concerns due to an increase in the number of cyberattacks are some of the major factors that are driving the adoption of network encryption in the banking, financial services, and insurance industry (BFSI).

• May 2022, IBM has revealed that it has signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), and that it intends to offer a sizable portion of its software catalogue as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on AWS. This news was made public by IBM.
• Quantum computers will crack your encryption—maybe they already have

At Cisco® Talos®, one of the responsibilities of the job is to not only monitor currently active cyber threats but also to forecast those that may emerge in the future. This requires Martin Lee, the technical lead of security research within Talos, to contemplate not only the technologies of the future but also the dangers that they will pose.
