by The global Application Security Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.71 Bn or Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Application security refers to the process of identifying, tracking and remediating security risks associated with software applications. It helps ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of applications by securing them from threats such as vulnerabilities, exploits, credential theft, and injection flaws. The growing advanced persistent threats have increased the need for organizations to monitor and protect their applications from external attacks and internal risks. Application security products offer features such as scanning tools to detect vulnerabilities, access management for apps, authentication and authorization controls for users, API security among others. With digital transformation initiatives and cloud migration gaining rapid momentum globally, application security has become an important aspect for organizations to ensure the safety and security of their web and mobile applications.
Market key trends:
Rise of cloud computing is one of the key trends boosting demand for application security solutions. As more enterprises migrate their workloads and infrastructures to the cloud, security of cloud-based apps has become a top priority. Application security vendors are integrating cloud-specific capabilities in their offerings to enable effective security for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications and web-facing cloud apps. Another major trend is the increasing usage of public application programming interfaces (APIs) by businesses to connect different systems. However, without proper API security controls in place, these interfaces can expose sensitive data and critical business logic to security threats. Leading application security providers are enhancing their API security testing and runtime protection modules to address this growing need.
