This has led to the growth of the market.
• Also, as organizations accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, they need to quickly make changes to their core business applications without compromising security across on-premise, SDN, and cloud environments. To manage this process, IT and security teams must be able to see the whole network infrastructure and have fine-grained control over it.

Such factors are expected to increase the growth of security and vulnerability management software and services.
• BYOD trends have become more and more common in workplaces as a result of the advent of mobile devices and high-speed Internet. For example, according to Dell, about 60% of employees use a smartphone for work. Such trends are further increasing the market growth for user authentication.
• The cyber-world is likely to see an increase in the occurrence and spread of new threats and attacks as more devices are getting connected to the Internet. The WannaCry and Petya attacks, which affected over 150 countries worldwide, have highlighted the vulnerability of devices as endpoints.
• In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations of all sizes have undertaken initiatives for the quick establishment of remote working schemes to enable staff to work from their homes in order to prevent infection. This means setting up remote connectivity systems and security apparatuses such as VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), Citrix Virtual Desktop servers, remote desktop connections, file sharing, FTP servers, and several more. This presents some challenges as well as opportunities for the vendors.
