Greater China Distributed Denial-of-Service Protection Solutions Market, 2020

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation that Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) protection solutions refer to appliance- or cloud-based solutions capable of detecting and mitigating a broad spectrum of DDoS attacks with high accuracy to ensure network and business services availability and continuity. A growing number of time-sensitive online tasks and applications is stimulating demand for DDoS protection. Industries such as gaming, e-commerce, media, cryptocurrency, and online banking, increasingly prioritize network and web services availability to enhance customer satisfaction, long-term loyalty, and trust, raising the vulnerability to DDoS attacks. The growth of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and commercialization of 5G promoting efficient IoT deployments are also increasing the risk of DDoS attacks in terms of frequency, volume, and sophistication using compromised connected devices. DDoS attacks continue to increase in size, ranging from short, persistent bursts to terabit-level attacks.

Attack vectors typically fall into volumetric, protocol, and application attack categories. A hybrid DDoS protection approach with both on-premises and cloud-based mitigation capabilities are increasingly critical to address the different attack types and sizes. The complexity and frequency of DDoS attacks are driving organizations to increase investment in cybersecurity, especially DDoS protection solutions that provide enhanced visibility and reporting to protect against the broad spectrum of attacks.

Automated and AI-enabled DDoS detection and mitigation capabilities that reduce the manual SOC intervention will see higher demand in the market.
