Cloud Native Application Protection Platform Market Industry Drivers: What Is Driving Revenue Growth?
The escalating occurrences of cloud-based cyberattacks and security breaches are anticipated to drive the advancement of the cloud-native application platform market in the coming period. These attacks and breaches involve malicious actions and unauthorized entry incidents aimed at cloud computing environments, platforms, services, or data. The increasing prevalence of cloud-based cyber-attacks and security breaches stems from the widespread adoption of cloud computing services by companies of all sizes, which has expanded the attack surface and provided more targets for cybercriminals to exploit. Cloud-native application platforms often integrate built-in security features and best practices, such as encryption, access controls, and authentication mechanisms. By leveraging these inherent security capabilities, organizations can ensure that their cloud-native applications are protected against common security threats from the outset. For instance, in December 2023, according to Eurostat, a Europe-based government agency, in 2023, 45.2% of EU enterprises purchased cloud computing services, marking a 4.2 percentage-point increase from prior years. Therefore, the rising instances of cloud-based cyber-attacks and security breaches are propelling the growth of the cloud-native application platform market going forward.
