DACH region emerges a hotbed of growth opportunities due to financial institutions’ focus on security, finds Frost & Sullivan

With enterprises increasingly seeking a single solution for proactive security for all their endpoints, security vendors have begun to integrate mobile threat defense (MTD) solutions with endpoint detection and response systems. The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) regulations are expected to drive the $347.4 million European MTD market towards $759.8 million by 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.6%.

“In the current regulatory environment, MTD vendors are looking to offer visibility into the security posture of the company’s iOS and Android devices while respecting the privacy concerns of end users,” said Jarad Carleton, Cybersecurity Global Program Leader at Frost & Sullivan. “For this, they are employing emerging technologies such as deep learning and neural networks, as well as engaging in partnerships with unified endpoint management (UEM), endpoint protection platform (EPP), and endpoint detection and response (EDR) providers to deliver comprehensive solutions.”

Switzerland and Austria are expected to grow rapidly, too, due to their well-established culture of privacy as well as financial institutions’ desire to secure mobile endpoints.”

The MTD market is likely to undergo a transformation before the end of the forecast period. The most successful vendors will be the ones that look to grab the growth opportunities presented by:

• Offering a unified solution with MTD and UEM capabilities.
• Partnering with leading cybersecurity vendors that have the resources to develop an integrated endpoint security monitoring and management (ESMM) platform.
