South Korean Secure Content Management Market, Forecast to 2022

Ransomware Attacks and Regulatory Compliance Drive the SCM Market

The South Korean Secure Content Management (SCM) market witnessed a YoY growth rate of 7.1%. With the increased awareness of spear phishing and ransomware, the adoption of email security and Web security solutions has increased in South Korea. Email is the most used tool to penetrate systems and spread malware for spear phishing and ransomware. As most of the businesses use emails to do work and communicate with others, spammers spread spams through emails; this trend has been witnessing an increase every year. In addition, botnets such as Necus are spreading spam on a massive scale in South Korea. As ransomware has become a big concern in South Korea, the awareness of anti-ransomware and database protection solutions has increased. With the rising ransomware awareness, the adoption of email security and Web security is also expected to increase. The integrated security solution vendors also provide email security and Web security features in their solutions, which is seen as a roadblock to the market, as SMBs increasingly prefer these solutions due to budget constraints.

In addition, to the market growth analysis, the study highlights the key driving forces for the SCM market. Some key drivers include the increasing risks associated with email and Web gateways which are driving the need for SCM solutions. In addition, industry and local compliance continues to drive the investment in SCM for data protection and content management. Moreover, the increasing adoption of mobility in workplace requires organizations tighten their control over online content to enhance productivity and to prevent threats.
