Description

The ASEAN SCM market maintained a solid growth momentum, which was greatly driven by the need to fight evolving threats through email and Web gateways, particularly in the wake of the outbreak of ransomware attacks in the late of 2017. There has been an increase in state-sponsored attacks, financially motivated criminals, phishing campaigns, BEC, ransomware, and malware attacks through email and Web channels, which prompted businesses and government organizations to invest more in security measures to protect these gateways. Despite recording solid growth during the year, the growth momentum for legacy email and Web filtering solutions has slowed down over the years due to the lack of innovation. More importantly, organizations are now looking at email and Web security as security measures to protect their organizations’ critical data. Customers are now either looking at integrated security appliances that offer email and Web filtering capabilities or shifting their attention to other advanced security solutions, such as sandboxing, AEDR, or more cost-effective cloud-based services.

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