DDoS Protection and Mitigation Market

DDoS Protection and Mitigation Market Size & Growth (2021 - 2026)

The global size of the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection and mitigation market is projected to grow from $ 2.62 billion in 2020 to $ 4.94 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0% over the forecast period.

DDoS protection and mitigation is the process of adequately protecting the server and the target network from a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Cloud-based protection services and engineered network equipment are used to mitigate the incoming threat. This involves the purchase and maintenance of material that would filter incoming traffic and could withstand attacks. It is applicable in the database, network, endpoint and other applications.

DDoS mitigation is a set of techniques or tools used to resist the impact of distribution refusal attacks on the network connected to the Internet by protecting the destination and retransmission networks. DDoS protection and mitigation solutions and services help provide protection and mitigation to advanced and sophisticated DDoS attack endpoints. The strong demand from SMEs for DDoS prevention solutions has encouraged suppliers to introduce cost-effective hybrid and cloud-based solutions. However, local hardware, software and integrated solutions continue to benefit from more excellent traction among large companies. During the forecast period, the market is foreseen to experience strong demand for hybrid solutions that include both on-premises and cloud services.

The DDoS protection and mitigation market is expected to grow steadily over the forecast years. North America currently holds the majority of the market share, while Asia-Pacific should continue to grow in the coming years.

Market Trends:

• According to Cloudflare, the financial cost of a DDoS is significant, because being a victim of a DDoS attack can cost an organization approximately $ 100,000 for each hour that the seizure lasts, which further fuels the demand for protection solutions.
• Also, the proliferation of insecure IoT devices led to an increase in DDoS attacks in 2017, according to Corero. Therefore, the increasing implementation of IoT among all end-users will increase the adoption of DDoS protection solutions.
• In addition, a large number of unplanned data center outages were reportedly caused by cybercrime (DDoS) attacks, further fueling the demand for DDoS protection solutions in data centers. Besides, the growing number of data centers in developing countries, such as India, presents significant opportunities for providers of DDoS protection solutions.

Recent developments:

In 2017, the U.S. departments of commerce and homeland security published a draft report on improving resilience against botnets. Its objective is to strengthen the cybersecurity of government networks and critical infrastructures. Therefore, the implementation of its recommendations is established to stimulate the demand for DDoS protection solutions in government infrastructure.

Neustar Inc. launched SiteProtect NG, its new solution to protect brands against DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. This DDoS mitigation solution is designed to meet the security requirements of all brands, on-premise and in the cloud, to meet the next generation of cyber threats.

Market Growth:

BFSI should have a significant stake

• The BFSI sector is one of the critical infrastructure segments that suffer from multiple data breaches and cyber-attacks, due to the large clientele served by the industry and the financial information at stake.
• Financial services institutions have been identified to be four times more susceptible to cyberattacks than other sectors, which are expected to stimulate demand for such solutions.
• DDoS attacks can make banking websites unavailable, which can damage the reputation, income and trust of customers. In 2017, Lloyds Bank suffered a distributed denial-of-service attack that put its online services offline. The BFSI sector faced the highest attacks in 2017, having faced attacks that are considerably higher than in other industries.
• Therefore, the continuation of this trend in the coming years should drive the adoption of DDoS protection solutions in the BFSI sector.

Drivers and Limitations:

With an increase in the number of multisectoral DDoS attacks, the demand for DDoS solutions should also increase. As a result, this demand could lead to significant growth in the DDoS protection and mitigation market. Strong management should stimulate the market after threat detection.

Factors such as the need to mitigate DDoS attacks targeting networks and applications, the increasing penetration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices, along with increased demand from small and medium-sized businesses are likely to drive DDoS protection and mitigation market during the forecast period. Additionally, due to the increased adoption of hosted DDoS protection solutions, sales in the global DDoS mitigation and protection market are expected to increase during the forecast period. Organizations are rapidly developing their partnership and mitigation solutions worldwide. As a result, the managed services segment is expected to grow at the highest growth rate in the forecast period.
