Security Operation Center Market

Growing trend of BYOD among organizations

The popularity of the BYOD trend is very high in several developed as well as developing countries. The BYOD trend benefits companies in increasing productivity, employee satisfaction, and cost-efficiency. Employees can use a single device for professional and personal purposes and can readily communicate and share files in real-time, even after work hours, regardless of their location, which increases productivity. Therefore, the use of file-sharing software, which encompasses secure file sharing and managed file transfer, has increased in corporate spaces, which is expected to influence the market's growth. Along with BYOD, the concept of BYOA is on the rise.

BYOA is an approach to gain wireless remote access to a company's network for mobile employees and employees working from home. It is an excellent business model, but it has a substantial effect on the traditional IT structure. The risk of data loss is higher, and it exposes the vulnerabilities of the network. Also, malware is a serious threat to enterprises. In fact, Panda Security states that 230,000 new malware samples are created each day. Thus, the risk of a new malware sample infiltrating a company’s network is high as employees use their personal devices at work.

The adoption of BYOD raises security-related issues as the leakage of private information from unprotected and unmanaged devices. Personal devices lack data encryption capabilities or malware that are vulnerable to attack from online threats, increasing the risks of data loss or exposure. Thus, the growing BYOD trend is expected to drive the growth of the Japan & Canada security operations centre (SOC) market during the forecast period.
