A major driver in the market is increased use of mobile devices such as tablets and laptops, which has made it difficult for identification of cyber threats. With the rising need to integrate networks with mobile devices of employees, demand for security solutions to prevent misuse of confidential data through fraudulent activities has also been on the rise, ASD analysts say.
The high cost related to deployment of cyber security solutions also creates challenges as it takes time to properly implement a traditional cyber security solution, which means any changes needed afterward can be very expensive. Also, it requires additional high-cost IT infrastructure, complex programming, and extra time to ensure quality and integration with other solutions, according to the ASD report.
