Growing Implementation of EMM and MTM in the Market for Enhanced Security


The mobile solution can be implemented in an operating system (OS) as well as on individual mobile devices. The security solution deployed over OS is considered under Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), whereas those implemented on a mobile device is considered as Mobile Threat Management (MTM). Deployment of EMM, together with MTM, offers additional features like device configuration, device management, real-time device monitoring, and GPS tracking, among others. 


Therefore, the integration of EMM, along with MTM, is trending in the mobile security market for better safety features. For example, IDC conducted a survey on enterprise mobility decision-makers, in the year 2017, which states that almost half of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the U.S. have deployed mobile device security solutions. The device security solutions such as mobile threat management, mobile scanning, or mobile antimalware, along with enterprise security solutions are mainly adopted by SMEs. Moreover, one-third of the businesses in the U.S. are using EMM and further planning to deploy MTM solution technology in the upcoming years.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Demand for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Anticipated to Drive the Market


Enterprises are offering bring your own device (BYOD) service to support corporate mobility. BYOD is a facility for employees to bring their own mobile devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets to their workstation for work. Additionally, BYOD offers connectivity for mobile devices with a secure network. Increasing productivity and employee satisfaction are the main driving factors for the adoption of BYOD. Conversely, unauthorized data access, data leakage/loss, and malware attacks, among others are major issues faced by organizations while adopting BYOD. 


Therefore, the growing demand for better and enhanced data privacy and security, along with network security, is expected to boost the adoption of mobile device security solutions. Moreover, companies are looking towards the privacy and security of mobile devices as well as network infrastructure, which will push mobile security market growth.


Internet of Things (IoT) and Enterprise Mobility Contributing to the Growth of the Security Solutions


With the evolution of technology, the adoption of portable devices has been augmented in the last decade. The adoption of laptops, tablets, and smartphones for work, education, and personal use are increasing at a substantial rate. Further, the popularity of IoT and enterprise mobility is encouraging people to adopt remote or mobile connectivity infrastructure. As per the report published by Soti, Inc., almost three fourth of the employees in the U.S. will be mobile workers in upcoming years. About 20% of companies that offer workplace mobility have experienced security issues and concerns. 


Mobile malware has enlarged steadily in the last few years with the improved vulnerability of mobile devices, which is further augmenting the demand for mobile security. The report published by Soti, Inc. in 2017 stated that the number of vulnerabilities in IoT is increasing by about 500% every year. The growing cyberattacks on IoT and mobile infrastructure are expected to upsurge the market growth, according to this mobile security market research.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Awareness about Cyber Security and Vulnerability to Hinder Growth


The billions of smartphone consumers are using their smartphones or tablets for utilizing a variety of applications. Many of the users are unaware of the source from where they download the applications and further are unaware of their privacy policies. Many of the people are visiting untrusted websites via laptops or mobiles while downloading insecure applications, which make these devices more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Lack of awareness about mobile device threats and their security solutions are restraining the growth of the market.


SEGMENTATION


By Component Analysis


Network Security and Data Security is Expected to Drive the Market


By component, the market is segmented as a solution and services.


The solution segment is further sub-segmented into identity & access management, data security & encryption, cloud security, network security, endpoint security, web security, and application security.


The network security solution type is likely to dominate the market. Cybercriminals are majorly attacking wireless networks such as hot spots and Wi-Fi. Although, most of the in-secured smartphones when access the unauthorized free public Wi-Fi get confronted by security. According to the State of Enterprise Mobile Security report, published by Zimperium in 2019, a large number of network attacks were faced by the U.K., China, the U.S., Japan, and Republic of Korea. The rising number of such wireless network attacks are intending the companies to deploy the mobile network security solution. Considering the growing number of cyberattacks on mobile devices, governments across the world have strengthened their regulations. Government initiatives for regulating cybersecurity is expected to drive the mobile security market. Whereas, visiting untrusted websites and downloading untrusted applications might cause data theft. As a result, the demand for application security and web security is expected to grow in the future.


The dependency of mobile technology on the cloud-based data storage infrastructure has enabled the cloud service to be a hotspot for cybercriminals to launch attacks. The necessity to secure the cloud infrastructure drives the adoption of security solutions, as per the market analysis. To authenticate identity and access to corporate systems, employees are adopting the identity-as-a-service platform, which is boosting the growth of this market.


Most of the SMEs are preferring cloud-based deployment to adopt mobile safety solutions. The cloud architecture offers flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability in the security model. Additionally, it ensures consistent and fast delivery of newer security technology updates. Therefore, Integrated Security-as-a-Service (ISaaS) is becoming popular day by day. The security as a service model covers identity & access authority, application & mobile security, cybersecurity, and compliance management. Instead of adopting a complete security suite, companies are preferring to deploy cloud-based, affordable, and flexible security service platform. The adoption of these security services is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.


By Operating System Analysis


Increasing Number of Android Users Expected to Augur Market Growth


The market by operating system is categorized into iOS and macOS, Android, Windows, and others.


iOS and macOS security is witnessed to be always leading while comparing to other operating systems (OS). However, the high cost and limited platform usability restrain the adoption of the iOS operating system. On the other hand, Android and Windows operating systems are available with optimized cost and moderate security. The easy availability and affordable cost of the Android and Windows OS render them favorable in the industries. Furthermore, Android and Windows OS offer some in-build security features, along with license-based security deployment. The affordable and easily availability of Android-based security solution is expected to propel the mobile security market growth.
