Top Impacting Factors
Increase in complexity & volume of data breaches and brute force attacks
Increase in number of data breaches and brute force attacks owing to rise in digitalization is one of the driving factors of hardware encryption. Brute force attacks are increasing at a rapid pace; therefore, resulting in a strong need for encrypted devices. Most of the companies have started manufacturing encrypted keys/chips with algorithm of 128-bit symmetric key, 256-bit keys that has more security. It is expected that manufacturers would come up with higher algorithm bit keys and generate a higher demand for the same in applications such as healthcare, BFSI, military & aerospace, and few others.
For instance, in September 2023, Arqit Quantum Inc launched Arqit WalletSecure. Arqit sells a core Symmetric Key Agreement Platform-as-a-Service which can be used for any encryption task and provides a Symmetric Key Agreement upgrade for digital assets used by banks for international payments and for use in global trade finance and NetworkSecure provides a Symmetric Key Agreement upgrade for firewalls and has already been integrated with the products of two market leading firewall vendors. Such hardware-encrypted devices protect number of security threats and offers an effective way to secure privacy of sensitive personal as well as corporate data which fuel the growth of the encryption software industry.
Increased compliance regulations
The increasing government, as well as state regulations on data privacy and compliance, require enterprises to tighten their data security measures. With the growing number of stringent regulations, organizations need to put in place effective data security technologies, to abide by the applicable laws and ensure that sensitive data or personally identifiable data (PII) about customers is always protected.
Furthermore, developed geographies such as North America and Europe already have federal-level regulations requiring mandatory compliance with data privacy laws, and developing geographies such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, are enacting and implementing more concrete data protection legislation.
In addition, various countries across the globe have implemented different laws to protect sensitive information which is more susceptible to identity theft or fraud. For instance, the Canadian government launched the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) to protect individuals' privacy rights and requires organizations to obtain consent for the collection and handling of personal data. The obligation to comply with the increasing complexity of such laws has become a key driving force for the adoption of encryption.
Restraints
High capital investment
Large capital investment required for installation as well as maintenance of hardware encryption devices is the major factor impacting negatively on the growth of the market. The overall installation cost of hardware encryption devices comprises annual maintenance cost, licensing cost, technical cost for password reset, staging cost, pre-provisioning cost, user excess operating cost, and others. Also, updates of the hardware system are only possible through device substitution, which makes it difficult for implementation and increases capital investment.
Limiting the use of encrypted devices in some of the countries
In some countries, using a laptop with encrypted products has become a malpractice, since encryption products are often used for illegal purposes and various terrorist & extortion activities. U.S. has imposed stringent export and import regulations, which have strictly prohibited carrying encrypted devices, while travelling. This could lead to the device being confiscated leading to the person carrying the device being penalized. Thus, it acts as a restraint for the encryption software market growth.
Opportunities
Widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and cloud services
Internet of Things (IoT) device collects and exchanges data over the Internet either with dedicated control units or cloud services. Devices with weak encryptionsoftware industry based IoT security are vulnerable to cyberattacks, which put the privacy of organizations and individuals at high risk. Hardware encryption technology used for IoT devices provides the highest level of IoT device security. IoT devices secured by using hardware-based encryption cannot be changed by using any attack, which provides high IoT device security. There is an increase in penetration of IoT devices owing to the adoption of hardware based encrypted devices, which is opportunistic for the market. For instance, the U.S. is a global leader for IoT spending and is expected to spend almost $194 billion in 2019.
Furthermore, use of cloud computing have led to an increase in data breaches owing to which many enterprises are adopting encryption software to secure their data. In addition, hardware component in the encryption hold sensitive corporate information or customer data, a stolen or lost drive can become a data breach and a privacy violation. Due to which, there is an increase in the need for adopting encrypted devices among the customers.
