Market Overview:
The global application security testing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches, and the need for organizations to protect their digital assets. The global application security testing market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is divided into static AST, dynamic AST, interactive AST, and mobile AST. Static ASM is further classified into source code analysis and binary code analysis; while dynamic ASM includes web application scanning (WAS) and network infrastructure scanning (NIS). Interactive ASM consists of fuzzing tools such as American Fuzzy Lop (AFL), Address Sanitizer (ASAN), LeakSanitizer (LSan), MemorySanitizer(MSan), ThreadSanitizer(TSan) etc., which are used for detecting memory leaks or corruption issues in an automated manner by simulating runtime errors; whereas mobileASTincludes Android Application Security Testing Toolkit(CAST)and Appknox Mobile Security Scanner.
Product Definition:
Application security testing is the process of verifying that an application is protected against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
It is important to test applications for security vulnerabilities because organizations rely on these applications to store and process confidential information. If an attacker can exploit a vulnerability in an application, they may be able to gain access to this information or cause damage.
Static AST:
Static analysis of the application is a security testing technique that involves scanning the source code of an application to detect potential vulnerabilities. The process is carried out by a tool or manually, based on which, AST (Application Security Testing) market size and growth factor in Static Analysis Market are expected to grow over the forecast period.
The Application Security Testing (AST) market has been gaining traction among enterprises owing to its ability to identify real-time security flaws in applications and websites.
Dynamic AST:
Dynamic AST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) is a tool that allows security testing of dynamic web applications. It helps in finding vulnerabilities in the application by simulating user actions and checking for responses from the server. The technique is used to test if sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, data encryption keys are being stored securely. Dynamic AST was initially developed by Facebook Inc., and currently maintained by Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).
Application Insights:
The large enterprises segment dominated the global application security testing market in 2017. This can be attributed to the fact that most of the organizations have a dedicated team for application security and are more prone to attacks. Large enterprises also have a larger budget for application security testing as compared to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Furthermore, these organizations generate higher revenue than SMBs due to their superior IT infrastructure and robust business processes. Thus, they are more susceptible to cyberattacks resulting in high demand for an effective cybersecurity defense mechanism against such threats. The SMBs segment is expected register highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing penetration of internet services worldwide as well as rising adoption of cloud computing services across various industries including BFSI, retail etc.
Regional Analysis:
North America accounted for the largest market share in 2017. The presence of major technology players, such as IBM Corporation; Cisco Systems, Inc.; Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP; and Oracle Corporation has contributed to this growth. Moreover, the high adoption rate of advanced technologies and products for application security testing is also expected to drive regional growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast period owing to increasing investments by various governments in developing countries such as India and China along with other South East Asian countries. In addition, growing penetration of mobile devices coupled with an increase in internet users will boost demand further over next eight years (2018 - 2030). Furthermore, increased spending on cloud computing services has led several companies based out of Asia Pacific region into investing heavily in application security testing solutions which will propel market growth further over next eight years (2018 - 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increased demand for application security testing from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) due to the increasing number of cyberattacks on these organizations.
- The growing popularity of cloud-based applications and services has led to an increase in the number of vulnerabilities in these applications, which is driving the demand for application security testing solutions.
- The increasing adoption of mobile devices and BYOD policies among organizations is leading to an increase in the number of mobile apps with vulnerabilities, which is fueling the growth of the application security testing market.
- The need to comply with government regulations and standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, FISMA, and GLBA is driving the demand for application security testing solutions among organizations worldwide.
- The growing awareness about information security among end users has led them to seek out reliable application security testing solutions that can help protect their confidential data from being compromised
