Key Management Software Global Market Report 2024

Description

Key management software (KMS) is a tailored software solution designed to create, store, distribute, and oversee cryptographic keys for encryption, decryption, authentication, and other cryptographic operations within an organization's IT infrastructure. This software provides enterprises with centralized control and visibility over keys, empowering them to enforce security policies, comply with regulatory standards, and safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access or breaches.

The primary offerings of key management software are available as cloud-based and on-premises solutions. Cloud-based key management software operates entirely over the internet, managing encryption keys and security protocols on remote servers maintained by a third-party provider. It finds application across various domains including disk encryption, file and folder encryption, database encryption, communication encryption, and cloud encryption, serving a diverse range of end-users, including small and medium enterprises as well as large enterprises.

The key management software market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides key management software market statistics, including key management software industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a key management software market share, detailed key management software market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the key management software industry. This key management software market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The key management software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.47 billion in 2023 to $1.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.1%. The expansion witnessed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the escalating frequency of data breaches and cybersecurity threats, the widespread adoption of cloud computing and storage solutions, increasingly stringent regulatory compliance mandates, the proliferation of internet of things (IoT) devices, heightened awareness regarding data privacy and protection, as well as the surge in digital transactions and online services.

The key management software market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.97 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including heightened concerns regarding data security, the increasing adoption of cloud-based services, stringent regulatory compliance mandates, a growing emphasis on encryption technologies, the expanding utilization of internet of things (IoT) devices, and the rising demand for centralized management of cryptographic keys. Key trends expected during this period include increased adoption driven by integration with cloud services, a surge in demand for compliance solutions, expansion in the healthcare and financial sectors, a focus on automation and AI-driven solutions, and the emergence of blockchain-based key management systems.

The anticipated growth of the key management software market is attributed to escalating concerns regarding data security. These concerns encompass apprehensions and precautionary measures aimed at safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access, manipulation, or compromise. The surge in data security apprehensions is primarily fueled by the widespread incidence of cyberattacks, including malware, ransomware, and phishing attempts, posing significant risks to data integrity. Key management software emerges as a pivotal solution to address these concerns, facilitating the secure generation and storage of encryption keys essential for protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access or decryption. For example, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre in February 2023, the number of cybercrime reports surged to 76,000 in 2022, marking a 13% increase from the preceding year. Similarly, the Internet Crime Complaint Center reported 847,376 cybercrime complaints in March 2021 in the United States alone, reflecting a 7% rise from 2020, with estimated losses exceeding $6.9 billion.

Prominent players in the key management software market are actively engaged in pioneering innovative solutions to gain a competitive edge. Notably, the development of key orchestration platforms stands out as a strategic focus area aimed at augmenting the functionality and efficiency of key management software. These platforms play a pivotal role in centralizing control, automation, and orchestration capabilities for cryptographic key operations. For instance, Unbound Security, an Israel-based software company, introduced Unbound Security CORE in March 2021, a key orchestration platform designed to streamline cryptographic key management across diverse environments. This platform enhances business agility by virtualizing cryptographic infrastructure, ensuring robust security for critical data, identity management, and financial transactions. By minimizing risks, enhancing control, and fostering digital innovation through the elimination of hardware dependencies and leveraging cryptographic advancements, such platforms bolster the competitiveness of key management solutions.

In January 2021, Entrust, a prominent US-based information and technology company, completed the acquisition of HyTrust, an undisclosed transaction. This strategic move underscores Entrust's commitment to bolstering its digital security offerings by integrating a crucial management layer for encryption, cryptographic keys, and cloud security policies. The acquisition of HyTrust enables Entrust to cater to organizations' evolving data protection and compliance requirements as they navigate their digital transformation journeys. HyTrust, renowned for its HyTrust KeyControl solution, specializes in delivering robust key management solutions tailored to meet the stringent security demands of modern enterprises.
