TOKYO, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Background
Since December 2015, the "Cyber Security Management Guidelines" formulated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) has provided guidelines for security measures that must include affiliated companies, supply chain business partners, and contractors for IT systems management. Corporate cybersecurity is broadly categorized into "Internal Security" and "Web Security", and in recent years it has become a serious issue, especially in the field of "web security", where many problems directly related to corporate management risks occur due to cyber-attacks.
Against this backdrop, the overall security market, which is expected to reach over US$ 5.7 billion *1 by 2022, has the highest growth rate in the field of "Web Security", with WAF (Web Application Firewall) being the strongest driver for SaaS products.
Demand is growing against the backdrop of a succession of diverse cyber-attacks such as DDoS attacks and ransomware, and the demand for new installations is expanding not only among large organizations, which had been the focus of demand in the past, but also among small and medium-sized enterprises, which have been relatively behind in security measures.
