The increasing concern regarding cybersecurity is expected to propel the growth of the regulatory technology market going forward. Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, programs, and data from unauthorized access, breaches, damage, or theft, as well as from disruption or misdirection of services they provide. Cybersecurity is rising due to the increasing digitization of businesses and society, coupled with the proliferation of cyber threats targeting valuable data and infrastructure, necessitating robust protective measures to safeguard against potential breaches and attacks. Regulatory technology is required to prevent cybersecurity because it enables organizations to implement and adhere to regulatory standards and compliance requirements related to cybersecurity, ensuring that adequate measures are in place to protect sensitive data and mitigate cyber threats effectively. For instance, in March 2024, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a US-based federal law enforcement agency, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received 880,418 complaints in 2023, with potential losses exceeding $12.5 billion, representing nearly a 10% increase in complaints and a 22% rise in losses compared to 2022. Therefore, the increasing concern regarding cybersecurity is driving the growth of the regulatory technology market.
