Dublin, May 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Data Exfiltration Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The data exfiltration market is expected to register a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period.
\Over the years, As businesses started relying on electronic data and computer networks to conduct their daily operation, the growing pool of financial and personal data is now stored in the clouds, which leave individuals and business organizations exposed to potential liabilities under security breaches. For instance, according to the report by Identity Theft Resource Center in 2019, the number of security breaches were reported 1,473 with 17% increased from 1,257 in 2018 with the business sector accounting 44% with 644 cases.
Also, 2019 accounted for some of the breaches from major players in various industries, including Zynga, Facebook, Adobe Creative Cloud, Capital One Financial Corporation, and have reported, as much as a leak of 218 million data records.
Essentially, the function of computer and network security is protecting the sensitive data inaccessible to unauthorized parties, yet data theft continues to affect organizations, and the nature of the attacks has evolved over the past three years. For instance, according to a recent survey conducted by DNS security showcased that 46% of the respondents had been victims of data exfiltration with 45% had been subject to DNS tunneling that is often exfiltrating data through DNS port 53.
Instances, such as malicious adversaries, remain the primary reason for the growing number of thefts evidently explain the increase in breaches with public disclosure. Also, accidental thefts are reported to have increased leveraging the importance of security training and thereby accompanying the growth of the market.
Additionally, with business operations leveraging the cloud services expose the businesses with new categories of data exfiltration risks, including instances where in-secure access of cloud site features by the administrators, employees would allow hackers to requisition virtual machines, deploy malicious code and thereby initiate outbound transmission of sensitive data.
Furthermore, the compliance of regulation acts, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDR), Federal Information Security Management Act, among others, tends businesses to be more concerned about the theft of intellectual property.
For instance, according to Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2019 by the Government of UK states that a total of 11% of businesses and 6% of charities have a specific cybersecurity insurance policy with SMEs accounting for 31% and large enterprises accounting 35%. Also, 49% of the businesses and 32% of charities either have external cybersecurity providers or prefer outsourcing cybersecurity, which evidently fosters the growth of the market and adoption of open platforms, such as HackerOne.

- Also, employees at SMEs due to lack of security training are prone to human and procedural failures, such as failing to maintain security certifications, which evidently makes it easier for data exfiltration to occur. For instance, the Investigation report on Equifax by the United States Senate state that Equifax's negligence of cybersecurity and human errors caused it to suffer a devastating data breach.
- Additionally, as organizations around the world are addressing the scourge of COVID-19 pandemic since the announcement of lockdown, companies mitigated the spread of the coronavirus by allowing employees to work remotely, but cybercriminals could potentially take advantage of the situation by perpetrating new attacks tied to health care and financial efforts.

- The organizations in the region experiencing data loss across a wide range of formats, content, and methods ranging from documents to databases reported 90% of them were the case of exfiltration of data, which evidently elevates the growth of the market.
- Also, over recent years, countries in the region have been working on the expansion of broadband infrastructure so as to build a stronger ICT industry by embracing and deploying cloud infrastructure and cloud computing that hold potential liability for data exfiltration, thereby fostering the market growth. For instance, according to the World Bank Study on Interoperability Readiness and Demand Assessment of government agencies showcased that government agencies in countries, such as the Philippines, prefer to deploy public services through cloud offerings.
Competitive Landscape
The market is highly fragmented due to the presence of players, like McAfee Inc., Juniper Networks Inc., Cisco Sytems Inc., and other giants, which play a vital role in upscaling the security of enterprises. Market orientation leads to a highly competitive environment.
- March 2020 - HP Inc announced the launch three new security solution that provides threat product for remote workforces as a countermeasure to support countries across the world experiencing lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic. The solutions include HP Proactive Security, HP Sure Click Enterprise, and HP Pro Security Edition. These solutions allow users to run real-time protection with task-level isolation and non-persistent virtual machines avoiding data breach, data exfiltration.
- February 2020- McAfee announced the launch of global managed detection and response (MDR) platform and its strategic partnership with DXC Technology to leverage the MDR solution so as to proactively detect and resolve security incidents of its customers faster. The platform will provide services including Threat Hunting, Forensics and Investigation, and Complete Managed Endpoint Threat Detection and Response.
