DDoS Protection and Mitigation Market Trends

DDoS Protection and Mitigation Market Drivers

Increased Frequency of Cyberattacks

• The ascendance of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks has caused organizations to counteract from servers, websites, and their applications, as an alarming pace in using DDoS protection and mitigation solutions. Continuing advances in sophistication of cyberattacks put businesses at risk to their ability to maintain their operations, and threaten their customer data; prompting an enormous interest in having solid measures in place to ensure the continued availability of online services and secure infrastructures.

Rising Adoption of Cloud Services

• The rapid growth of cloud computing as well as the transition to hybrid infrastructures have put businesses at much higher risk of experiencing DDoS attacks. To protect cloud-based assets, businesses are investing a lot of resources in highly specialized DDoS protection solutions, so they can ensure the availability of their service, improve their scalability, and protect themselves from interruptions, which might lead to a loss of revenue of reputation.

DDoS Protection and Mitigation Market Restraints

High Cost of Advanced Solutions

• Investing in advanced DDoS protection solutions involves significant expenses for hardware and software. When it comes to small businesses or small organizations that may have limited budgets, high costs may prevent the organization from convincing them that DDoS attacks are part of IT risk exposures they need to address, or affordably invest in advanced DDoS protection solutions that would allow them to focus on system uptime.

Complexity in Configuration and Management

• Many DDoS protection systems require specialized expertise to deploy and manage! Organizations that don't have well-informed IT support can be understandably discouraged from using such solutions, or end-up deploying improperly and leave systems vulnerable to attack. In addition to these concerns, ongoing service expectations and financial demands may be too much for organizations who don’t have their IT priority served by a qualified and devoted team.
