Data Exfiltration Market


Information & Communications Technology
Information Security

The growing need for security against increasing bot traffic, along with the rise in the number of smartphone users has led enterprises to adopt data exfiltration solutions for the protection of their sensitive information. Moreover, the Small and Medium-size enterprises (SMEs) are gaining a high traction in the market, as they are more targeted by internal and external data breaches. With the adoption of data exfiltration solutions, organizations can effectively maintain and secure their critical information from data breaches. Data exfiltration solutions help organizations optimize employees’ productivity, protect sensitive data, applications, and comply with stringent regulations.

Data exfiltration solutions include various preventing solutions, such as encryption, antivirus/anti-malware, firewall, Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/ Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and User Activity Monitoring (UAM). The antivirus/anti-malware solution is expected to dominate the data exfiltration market and is estimated to have the largest market share in 2018. The UAM solution is expected to play a key role in changing the marketspace and to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, as global organizations are highly proactive toward improving their employees’ productivity and protecting sensitive information from data breaches and malware attacks.

The IT and telecom is the fastest growing vertical in the global data exfiltration market, as the vertical has to meet stringent legal and regulatory compliances associated with information security. SMEs continue to deploy data exfiltration solutions, as they are facing malware-based and DNS data exfiltration.

Data Exfiltration Market

North America is estimated to hold the largest market size in 2018. The increasing need for organizations to reduce the misuse of the internet and enhance their employees’ productivity, and addressing the incidents of attacks on enterprises’ IT infrastructures are expected to drive the data exfiltration market. Furthermore, rapid economic growth in the major countries, along with regulatory reforms and economic stability, is expected to drive the market in Asia Pacific (APAC). In the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, enterprises in a range of verticals, such as Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), government, education, and manufacturing, are expected to increase their investments in data exfiltration solutions and services.

Security vendors are offering data exfiltration prevention solutions via encryption, antivirus/anti-malware, firewall, IDS/IPS, DLP, and UAM. As the frequency of security breaches has increased over the past 5 years, organizations have increased their IT security investments to protect against advanced threats. However, for many enterprises, including SMEs, these investment costs are a matter of concern. For a strong and advanced security, the cost of innovation is still high. Hence, many organizations view budgetary constraints as a barrier to the adoption of advanced data exfiltration solutions and services.

The increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions and services among enterprises would provide significant growth opportunities to data exfiltration solution vendors. There are several established players, such as Symantec (US), McAfee (US), Palo Alto Networks (US), Fortinet (US), Cisco (US), GTB Technologies (US), Zscaler (US), Sophos (US), Trend Micro (US), Check Point Software Technologies (US), Juniper Networks (US), FireEye (US), Digital Guardian (US), Barracuda Networks (US), Forcepoint (US), iboss (US), Alert Logic (US), Hillstone Networks (US), Clearswift (UK), CoSoSys (Romania), Securonix (US), Dtex Systems (US), HackerOne(US), and A1Logic (US).
