However, there are certain factors that pose challenges to the expansion of remote work security market. For instance, lack of awareness related to the importance of remote work security limits the acceptance of security solutions. Moreover, the inadequate resources to effectively implement remote work security solutions and limited budget allocated by the industry players for remote work security are expected to hamper the market growth in the projected years.
Growth Factors
Growing implementation of work from home policies by the companies boosts the remote work security market
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in introduction of public health measures including mandated and recommended work from home orders. However, even after the crisis, the number of people working remotely has been increasing. With the growing adoption of remote working model, the risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches will also increase. For instance, according to the Hornetsecurity’s Cyber Security Report 2023, phishing is the leading technique used for cyber-attacks. Moreover, the rising use of emails to launch cyber-attacks coupled with an increasing number of unwanted emails are contributing to the high adoption of remote security solutions.
Increasing demand for cloud-based security will lead to the remote work security market expansion
Cloud-based security has become a growing trend in the digital commerce ecosystem over the past few years. Cloud-based solutions can be accessed from any location and are generally easier to operate. The growing demand for flexible and adaptable security measures from various businesses is expected to propel the remote work security market. Moreover, the advantages such as cost-effectiveness of cloud security and less investments in infrastructure are attracting the organizations to adopt this technology. Furthermore, the growing popularity of remote work models is driving the demand for cloud security solutions, which in turn is fuelling the growth of the remote work security market.
Restraining Factors
Lack of awareness related to the security risks of remote working will limit the market growth in the coming years
The increasing popularity of remote work presents a new set of difficulties for the companies who want to protect their sensitive information. However, many organizations fail to understand the need for remote security solutions and potential risks associated with the remote work model. As a result, private information is revealed and susceptibility to cyber-attack increases. Thus, lack of awareness related to the risks of remote work will hinder the adoption of security solutions, thereby limiting the market growth.
