Greater China Secure Content Management Market, Forecast to 2022

Ransomware Attacks and Regulatory Compliance Drive the SCM Market

The Greater China SCM market experienced a double-digit YoY growth rate of 14.2%. With the growing complexity of the threat landscape, email remains a highly targeted attack vector, with employees being vulnerable to attacks on an organization’s security. The outbreak of Wannacry in 2017 urged enterprises to invest in email security to protect against common attacks through email, be it ransomware, phishing, spear phishing, or even Business Email Compromise (BEC). The importance of Web content management/Web filtering was increasingly emphasized in the light of addressing an organization’s security challenges and the need to prevent legal liability due to failure to comply with regulations. BFSI, government and service provider vertical which rely much on email for either corporate communication or marketing were the key revenue contributors in the email security segment, as a result of the evolving and rising volume of attacks in these sectors. Manufacturing, government and BFSI were the key revenue generators in the Web security segment, as they are increasingly appreciative of the need to ensure a healthy in-house network environment and to reduce the risk of losing critical data and sensitive information.
