The digital security control market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of behavioral biometrics, adoption of device recognition and ip verification, increased web-based authentication software usage, rising commercial sector implementation, development of advanced security management platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include multi-factor authentication (2fa, 3fa, 4fa), biometric security enhancements, hardware security token innovations, anti-phishing and threat detection software, network surveillance and security management systems.

The growing number of cyber threats is expected to drive the expansion of the digital security control market in the coming years. Cyber threats refer to potential risks or dangers to information systems, computer networks, and digital infrastructure, caused by malicious actors or events in the digital space. The rise in cyber threats is driven by various factors, including the rapid growth of digital technologies, the increasing sophistication of cybercriminal methods, and the monetization of cyberattacks. Digital security controls play a crucial role in managing these threats by safeguarding digital assets, detecting harmful activities, and providing timely and effective responses to security incidents. For example, in July 2024, Check Point Research (CPR), a cybersecurity company based in Israel, reported a global increase in cyberattacks, with weekly attacks on corporate networks rising by 30% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, and by 25% compared to Q1 2024. On average, organizations are facing 1,636 attacks each week. As a result, the growing threat of cyberattacks is expected to drive the demand for digital security controls.

Major companies operating in the digital security control market are concentrating on developing advanced offerings, including AI-enabled threat monitoring, to strengthen enterprise cybersecurity and improve operational efficiency. AI-enabled threat monitoring is a technology that uses artificial intelligence to continuously identify, analyze, and respond to cyber threats in real time, helping to lower risks and minimize false alerts. For instance, in August 2025, Embee Software, an India-based IT services and consulting firm, introduced the Cyber Defense Center, a cloud-native, AI-powered security ecosystem integrated with Microsoft Sentinel and Seceon. It is a comprehensive solution that delivers a unified view of an organization’s security environment by combining Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) with Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR). The platform provides 24/7 monitoring by security experts, threat intelligence, and proactive threat hunting, ensuring continuous protection against evolving cyber threats with minimal impact on operations.

In December 2023, Thales, a France-based company that designs, develops and manufactures electrical systems, acquired Imperva for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition will help Thales expand its reach in the data security market and enter the application security market. Imperva is a US-based cyber security software and services company, operating in digital security solution.

Digital security controls (DSC) refer to a set of measures and technologies implemented to safeguard digital assets, information, and systems from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and potential risks. The purpose of digital security controls is to safeguard digital assets, information, and technology infrastructure from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and potential risks.

The main services of digital security control are two-factor authentication, three-factor authentication, and four-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to provide two different authentication factors to verify their identity before granting access to a system, application, or digital resource. It uses hardware such as a smart card, sim card (subscriber identity module), biometric technologies, and security tokens, and include software such as anti-phishing, authentication, network surveillance, security management, and web technologies. These are used in mobile security and telecommunication, finance and banking, healthcare, and commercial.

The digital security control market includes revenues earned by entities by providing services such as security assessments and audits, vulnerability management, network security, and endpoint security. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The digital security control market also consists of sales of antivirus and anti-malware software, firewalls, multi-factor authentication (MFA) tools, encryption tools.
