Ransomware Protection Market Size:
The Ransomware Protection Market is expected to grow from US$29.100 billion in 2025 to US$71.549 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 19.71%.
Ransomware is a type of malware, which encrypts the files and folders present on one’s desktop or laptop to prevent access to important files by the victim. Ransomware protection is very important in today’s digital age as the personal files, pictures, documents, and financial information of people are all easily accessible to hackers. There are different types of Ransomware prevalent in the market such as Crypto malware, Lockers, Scareware, Doxware, RaaS, Mac Ransomware, and Ransomware on mobile devices.
Ransomware Protection Market Trends:
The global ransomware protection market is expected to witness significant growth as there is an increase in the demand for ransomware protection across industries making it a necessity in recent years. The inception of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Etherium, has increased the demand for ransomware protection solutions, as the majority of the ransom is demanded in the form of cryptocurrency due to its untraceable nature. The industry is impacted by technological developments and has witnessed the advent of ransomware protection solutions for mobile devices as well as Personal Computers.
Ransomware uses encryption to lock people out of their own data. From the inception of software, there have always been attackers searching to exploit innocent people through their encrypted attacks. To curb this problem, Ransomware attaches itself to their data and prevents access to outsiders until the victim pays a ransom. This results in creating a cyber-hostage situation. In recent years, many companies have shifted to using cloud services to store their important information; this has created an opportunity for attackers to target any vulnerability.
The ransom results in creating distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks until the ransom is paid or the data is lost permanently. For instance, in October 2018, Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific airlines were involved in one cyber breach incident where unauthorized access to the personal details of 9.4 million passengers was accessed. This caused huge losses to the airline and resulted in tarnishing its credibility. Despite the increased awareness about cyber-attacks and cyber-breaches, employees continue falling victim to social attacks. According to Verizon’s Data Breach Index Report, 2018, Financial pretexting and phishing amounted to 98% of social incidents caused by ransomware. Of the 93% of all breaches that were investigated, emails were found to be the entry point of 96%, of such cases. Companies globally are nearly three times more susceptible to suffering breaches through social attacks rather than via actual vulnerabilities.
This further emphasizes the need for ongoing employee cybersecurity education. This has led companies to look towards ransomware protection solutions and has also provided a significant rise in the solutions demand in the Global Ransomware Protection Market. To cater to the increasing demand for ransomware protection amongst companies, key market players such as McAfee Corp. has devised specialized antivirus and VPN solutions.
Ransomware Protection Market Geographical Outlook:
Countries like North America and Europe have been early adopters of new technologies as ransomware attacks were on the increase, and they hold a significant share of the market. The Asia Pacific market is projected to show an increase in growth during the forecast period and the industries in these regions are expected to grow rapidly. In the United States, the demand has been increasing as there have been several incidents of data encryption with the motive of generating a ransom for the decryption of the data.
The U.S. government has given priority to ransomware protection in its security agenda. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been working towards the country’s digital defence, CISA has also warned organizations against ransomware attacks exploiting Microsoft Exchange's severe vulnerabilities.
The major segments to be affected by ransomware threats are healthcare, financial services, and government organizations. For instance, In March 2021, In India, The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) was a victim of a ransomware attack. The ransomware ”SYNack” impacted the applications and database servers hosted on Cloud DC and DR (ESDS) and local servers hosted at MIDC HQ in Mumbai by encrypting the data stored in these servers.
