Who Are the Major Contributors to the Penetration Testing As-A-Service Market Growth?
The growing cyber threats and attack sophistication are expected to propel penetration testing as a service market growth going forward. Cyber threats refer to malicious acts aimed at damaging or stealing data, while attack sophistication refers to the complexity and advanced techniques used in these cyber-attacks. The growing cyber threats and attack sophistication are driven by increased digitalization, advanced technology, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and the rise of organized cybercriminals targeting critical infrastructure. PTaaS offers scalable, cost-effective solutions to enhance security and meet compliance requirements in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. For instance, in March 2024, according to the National University (NU), a US-based private nonprofit university, globally, there were 5.4 billion malware attacks in 2022, with cyberattacks happening every 39 seconds. Further, in 2023, ransomware fueled over 72% of attacks, eCrime leak site victims increased by 76%, and 75% of identity attacks were malware-free. Therefore, the growing cyber threats and attack sophistication is driving the penetration testing as-a-service market.
