Endpoint security market size worldwide 2024-2028

The global endpoint security market is projected to reach 16.25 billion U.S. dollars in 2024. The market is projected to continue growing, amounting to more than 36 billion U.S. dollars in 2028.

Endpoint security: A definition

  Endpoint security is the process of protecting entry points of end-user devices such as desktops, laptops, or mobile devices from being exploited by malicious actors. Endpoint security systems offer protection from cybersecurity threats and have evolved from traditional antivirus software to now be able to provide comprehensive protection from sophisticated malware. Accordingly, the global information security solutions and services market was estimated at nearly 220 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. This growth is driven both by an increasing consumer awareness and an organizational need to protect sensitive data and enterprise networks. Unsurprisingly, cybersecurity is among the most important IT priorities for companies worldwide.

How does endpoint protection work?

  An Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) works by examining the files that enter a network. EPPs secure entry points through application control – the process of blocking the use of applications that are unsafe or unauthorized – and through encryption. Modern day EPPs have evolved to use the cloud to store a growing database of threat information, reducing the maintenance required to keep these databases up to date, and allowing for greater speed and scalability.
