Surge in BYOD and Mobile Workforce
BYOD policies have exposed roughly 4.7 billion mobile endpoints that sit outside traditional firewalls, prompting rapid deployment of mobile-device-management tools that partition corporate data from personal apps.[1] IBM, “Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Solutions – MaaS360,” ibm.com Identity compromise now appears in 70% of attacks, so firms lean on zero-trust frameworks that verify device posture before allowing network access. Executives increasingly view cybersecurity as a board-level priority, with 91% describing it as a strategic asset rather than a compliance exercise. AI features embedded in modern endpoint suites perform real-time behavioural analysis to flag risky actions across a diverse device ecosystem.
Escalating Sophistication of Ransomware-as-a-Service
Service-based ransomware lowered the barrier to entry, triggering a 50% spike in infections during early 2024. Healthcare breaches now cost USD 10.1 million on average, forcing hospitals to adopt extended-detection-and-response platforms that correlate endpoint and network telemetry. Double- and triple-extortion tactics also target backups, compelling enterprises to redesign data-recovery plans. Analysts expect ransomware damage to surpass USD 265 billion annually by 2031, funnelling more spend into proactive endpoint defences.
Proliferation of IoT Endpoints Across OT Networks
Industrial firms are connecting sensors, PLCs, and human-machine interfaces that traditionally ran unpatched for decades. Compromises of supervisory-control-and-data-acquisition nodes in energy and manufacturing illustrate the risk. Specialist vendors now ship lightweight agents that deliver deep-packet-inspection visibility without disrupting production. Supplier contracts increasingly require proof of endpoint security certification, embedding cyber controls into procurement processes.
Wider Adoption of SASE Bundling EPP/EDR at Edge
Secure-access-service-edge designs fold networking, zero-trust access, and endpoint security into one cloud platform, a market predicted to exceed USD 25 billion by 2027. EPP and EDR modules delivered via SASE ensure that policies follow users regardless of location, while integrated threat intelligence shrinks response times. Vendors compete on AI enrichment that speeds detection and automates playbook execution.
