By vertical, the BFSI segment accounts for a larger market share
BFSI is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world. As a result, businesses in this sector are under constant pressure to protect their sensitive data from cyberattacks. API security is a critical component of any BFSI organization's cybersecurity strategy.
The increasing adoption of cloud-based and microservices-based architectures in the BFSI sector drives the demand for API security solutions. The growing number of connected devices and the rising popularity of mobile banking are also contributing to the growth of the API security market in the BFSI vertical.
By deployment mode, the cloud segment accounts for a larger market share
Cloud-based API security solutions can be scaled up or down quickly to meet the changing needs of an organization. It is essential for businesses that experience spikes in API traffic, such as during peak business hours or marketing campaigns.
Cloud-based API security solutions are often more cost-effective than on-premises solutions. Cloud providers typically offer a pay-as-you-go pricing model, meaning businesses only pay for the resources they use.
Cloud-based API security solutions are typically more straightforward than on-premises solutions. This is because cloud providers usually offer a user-friendly dashboard that makes it easy to manage API security policies.
