North America Dominates Global Cloud Security Demand and Revenue Pools

North America was the leading region in the global cloud security market for 2014, a factor attributed to the large scale and early adoption of cloud services by industries in this region.

BYOD Cultures Spurs Demand for Tighter Security Services and Policies in Companies

"The IT and telecom industries and their associated enterprises are swiftly adopting cloud platforms for all sorts of functions and processes. The advantages of using cloud computing far outweigh the negatives and risks of it as far as small and medium sized businesses are concerned, but that does not allow cloud service providers to be lax on security measures. To counter the growth issues of loss of data integrity and data theft, data security providers are stepping up to the plate. The need for cloud security today is being compounded by the growing demand for flexible operations as well as the massively popular bring-your-own-device culture," states a TMR analyst.

Client Skepticism Continues to Hamper Uptake of Cloud Security Services

Two of the key factors inhibiting the cloud security market at the moment, are the lack of awareness among companies and clients regarding the need for security services such as data loss prevention. The second factor is the as of yet skeptical nature of clients that are in the know, regarding the use of cloud computing platforms. Several companies, regardless of economic nature, are showing a high level of aversion to using third party applications and servers, despite knowing the savings in space and cost they could gain. This is consequently hindering the uptake of cloud security services.
