Global Database Security Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Deployment Model (On-Premises, and Cloud-Based), by Component (Database Security Solutions, and Database Security Services), by Organization Size (Large Enterprises, and Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs)), and by Vertical (BFSI, Healthcare, Government, and Retail), Forecast Period (2023-2030)
The global database security market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Database security is a set of techniques and strategies to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, misuse, or destruction. It involves tools, controls, and measures to establish and preserve database confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The increasing demand by some special industries such as is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Each industry handles different sensitive data specific to its operations. Healthcare deals with patient records, finance handles financial information, and government manages citizen data. Each type of data requires personalized security measures to address its unique vulnerabilities and threats. These sectors are often subject to strict regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in healthcare, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in finance, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) across various industries. These regulations mandate specific data protection protocols, driving the need for compliance-driven database security solutions tailored to each vertical's requirements.
According to the Washington news, in January 2023, the FBI and law enforcement in Europe shut downed a major ransomware operation accused of extorting more than $100 million from organizations across the world by encrypting victims' computer systems and demanding payments to provide a key to unlock them. The ransomware gang targeted schools and hospitals.
The global database security market is segmented on the deployment model, component, organization size, and vertical. Based on the deployment model, the market is sub-segmented into on-premises and cloud-based. Based on the component, the market is sub-segmented into database security solutions, and database security services. Based on organization size the market is sub-segmented into large enterprises, and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBS). Further, based on vertical the market is sub-segmented into BFSI, healthcare, government, and retail.
Among the component, the database security solutions sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market. The database security solution focuses on the core requirements of data protection, which are encryption, access control, and threat detection. These functionalities form the fundamental layer of defense against unauthorized access, data breaches, and malware infections. The database security solutions provide a diverse range of tools and features, which spans data masking, tokenization, vulnerability assessments, intrusion detection, and activity monitoring. Database security solutions can be scaled to accommodate varying data volumes and user bases, from small enterprises to large enterprises. Advanced solutions employ machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for threat, detection, and prevention. This proactive technique helps identify and block sophisticated attacks before they cause damage, making them invaluable for organizations facing evolving cyber threats.
In January, 2023 the healthcare data breach at UCHealth was checked from a third-party vendor, and the UCLA Health breach was tied to the organization's use of analytics tools. UCHealth in Aurora, Colorado reported a third-party data breach to HHS that impacted 48,879 individuals. UCLA Health notified 94,000 individuals of a recent healthcare data breach stemming from its use of analytics tools, such as tracking pixels.
The global database security market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe. Factors supporting the growth includes technical advancements and well-established economy, along with the presence of leading database security companies. The region is a hub for tech giant companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM. These organization require robust database security for their own operations, thus focusing on pushing the innovation of security solutions. One more factor is because of the rapid adaption of cloud services as companies are moving their businesses to various cloud platforms namely Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure.
Among all regions, the European region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. European organizations are increasingly becoming aware of the growing cyber threat environment, with advanced attacks like SolarWinds and Conti ransomware incidents raising concerns. This increased awareness leads to greater prioritization of cybersecurity investments, including active database security solutions to prevent breaches and mitigate potential damage. Europe is experiencing rapid digitalization, with cloud computing adoption accelerating. This shift necessitates specialized cloud-based database security solutions to address new security challenges arising from shared responsibility models and complex attack surfaces.
T-Mobile, a mobile communications brand owned by Deutsche Telekom, experienced a data breach affecting approximately 37 million customer records. The exposed information reportedly included names, billing addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, account numbers, and details like the number of lines per account and service plan features. According to T-Mobile, the breach did not access sensitive information such as social security numbers, payment details, or passwords.
The major companies serving the database security market includes McAfee, LLC, IBM (IBM Security), Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Inc., Trend Micro Inc., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2023 IBM and Cohesity announced New Data Security and Resiliency collaboration. This collaboration aims to address the critical need organizations have for increased data security and resiliency in hybrid cloud environments.
