The increasing occurrence of ransomware and targeted cyber extortion incidents is projected to drive the expansion of the security and privacy support services market in the future. Ransomware and targeted cyber extortion involve malicious cyber activities where attackers infiltrate systems, encrypt or steal sensitive data, and compel victims to pay ransom, often threatening data exposure, operational disruption, or reputational harm. The rise in such incidents is largely driven by accelerating digitalization, which broadens the attack surface and increases vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. Security and privacy support services are applied to detect, prevent, and respond to ransomware and cyber extortion threats by protecting data, identifying system vulnerabilities, and enabling rapid recovery from incidents. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a US-based central hub for reporting cyber-facilitated crimes, total cybercrime losses reached a record $16.6 billion in 2024, largely driven by fraud, while ransomware complaints increased by 9% compared to 2023 as the leading threat to critical infrastructure, and extortion losses rose from $23,093,451 in 2023 to $24,901,693 in 2024.
