devices along with the Internet, on the other hand, business entities are finding it hard to protect their
databases and other corporate resources from the cyber-attacks. As there is increased use of multiple
devices, keeping a track and managing each and every devices is becoming a herculean task. Moreover,
from the past incidents it has been proved that employee negligence or accidental revealing of access
information or other similar has costed dearly for many of the businesses across the globe. Containing the
ever increasing endpoint device attacks and at the same time providing quick access to corporate networks
through these devices is the main challenge that many of the organizations are facing these days. And,
presence and emergence of advanced forms of endpoint security solutions are proving to be the right
answer to these underlying challenges.
While businesses have been using several individual security solutions like the anti-virus, anti-spyware and
similar others. The efficiency and effectiveness of these solutions have been tested frequently and most of
the time these solutions single handedly cannot face every threats or attacks. So, the security experts
believe possession of individual solutions cannot solve the problems of cyber-attacks. Instead, they suggest
that businesses should look towards comprehensive endpoint security solutions that can protect laptops,
mobiles, tablets, servers and other endpoint devices Businesses are now moving towards wholesome
endpoint security solutions which will continue to elevate the market in the coming years.
Endpoint security solutions are now being implemented both at the server side and also at the client side as
the corporates are not ready to take even the slightest of the risks that would eventually harm their
corporate IT resources. The market for enterprise endpoint security solutions is and shall continue to grow
only if the solution provider companies come up with upgrades that can avoid complex attacks and also
prove to be cost effective.
Several of the IT product based companies, Network Security companies, IT security companies and cloud
service provider companies dominate the service provider market and many of the new start-up companies
are also entering the arena by introduction of cloud based Enterprise Endpoint Security solutions.
Enterprise Endpoint Security Market Growing Steadily

users, the startling adoption rate is expected to be recorded in the Asia-Pacific region. Those solution
providers who possess vital market share in developed countries like the USA , Canada, UK, Germany, Japan
and others, are now turning towards the Asia-Pacific market and especially concentrating on emerging
economies like India.
Cloud based Enterprise Endpoint Security Solutions Gaining Traction
As most of the large organizations have been using traditional endpoint security solutions, the market share
for this solutions remains high. However, with businesses moving towards cloud and with the introduction
of cloud based versions of endpoint security solutions, businesses, especially medium and small level
companies are expected to extensively start adopting them. This is expected to provide the necessary boost
to the cloud based endpoint security provider companies.
Enterprises are the major consumers, Financial Services are the top adopters.
Enterprises are the major consumers of these solutions as they are the most frequently targeted end-user
segment of all. These businesses also consists of large number of employees who use Internet along with
multiple devices to reach out to their customers. This has prompted them to adopt Endpoint security
solutions which can reduce the risks associated.
Among the verticals, Financial Services companies have emerged as the major users of these solution. Many
of banking, insurance and other finance related companies across the globe are facing innumerable attacks
every day-in and day-out. To counter these, many of these businesses have been implementing these
solutions. Businesses in this vertical are known to seek advanced forms of Endpoint Security solutions as
well. Apart from this, other verticals that are emerging as the major consumers include Healthcare
companies, public sector, retail and IT & Telecom industry.
The Underlying Challenges
Despite adoption of enterprise endpoint security solutions, the miscreants are found to be one step ahead
from the solution provider companies. As a result, the existing endpoint security solutions have failed to
protect corporate resources from attacks. This has been the worrying factor to most of the businesses and
the solution provider companies. In order to make sure that the businesses do not lose their faith on these
solutions, the provider companies should constantly upgrade their security definitions and be up-to-date
with their products. Many of the companies are working towards this and introduction of cloud based
versions is a step towards making these solutions more feature rich and effective. While the research and
development teams should be up on their toes with introduction of new solutions, the sales and marketing
teams should look for penetrating new geographies with partner programs or similar others.
