Market Growth Factors

Escalating Cyber Threat Landscape and Attack Sophistication

The growth of the market can be attributed to the escalation of advanced cyber-attacks. According to SonicWall's 2025 Annual Cyber Threat Report, the volume of ransomware and IoT attacks grew by 259% and 124%, respectively. respectively, in Latin America, which is driving demand for endpoint security offerings in the region. Due to the high volume of attacks, organizations are investing heavily in layered defenses such as endpoint detection and immutable backups. This commoditization of ransomware lowered barriers to entry for ransomware attacks using advanced persistent threat (APT), social engineering, and zero-day exploits that targeted government and financial services sectors.

Stringent Data Protection Regulations and Compliance Requirements

This is because laws requiring privacy by design, breach notifications, and monitoring, such as Brazil's LGPD or Chile's Law 21.459, and regulations like the 2024 Security Incident Reporting Regulation or Data Protection Officer Regulation in Brazil make companies spend more on compliance. To avoid these financial and reputational risks, organizations are incentivized to use compliance-driven cybersecurity solutions, with private security companies increasingly pressured to be compliant.

Accelerating Cloud Adoption and Digital Transformation

As more enterprise cloud migration and digital initiatives bring security to the fore for distributed hybrid environments, demand is growing for cloud-native security solutions for serverless and containerized workloads. The acceleration of remote work and the rise of digital banks have led to increased breaches and vulnerabilities. The identity and access management and managed security services subsegments are predicted to grow at more than 13% annually. This cost-effective, scalable, pay-as-you-go cloud model offers enterprise-grade security, automated compliance, runtime defense, and multi-cloud visibility as a service for SMBs and small business units.
