Market Trends of File Integrity Monitoring Industry
BFSI Industry is Expected to Witness The Highest Growth
- The BFSI sector is one of the critical infrastructure segments that suffer several data breaches and cyberattacks, owing to the large customer base that the industry serves and the financial information that is at stake. Financial service institutions have been identified to be four times more susceptible to cyberattacks when compared to other industries, which is expected to drive the demand for such solutions.
- Moreover, active directory-based hacking on banking institutions has become the most prevalent recently, according to security provider Bit defender. Also, the need for file integrity monitoring is further emphasized by different warnings sent out by security agencies.
- The security agencies have identified ransomware, like lockerGoga ransomware, and hacking groups, like APT15 - aka K3chang, Mirage, Vixen Panda, GREF, and Playful Dragon, have been most prevalent in attacking the active directory of the BFSI institutions.
- Furthermore, Data breaches lead to an exponential rise in costs and the loss of valuable customer information. For instance, in June 2023, EpiSource LLC notified the Attorney General of California of the data breach after identifying that unauthorized access to sensitive customer data had occurred due to suspicious activity in the company's Amazon Web Services environment. Additionally, in May 2023, the Federal Trade Commission announced that Amazon would pay two distinct fines for privacy violations: USD 25 million for allegedly failing to delete children's data and USD 5.8 million for limiting access to Ring security videos for employees and contractors.
- To secure their IT processes and systems, secure critical customer data, and comply with government regulations, private and public banking institutes focus on implementing the latest technology to prevent cyber attacks. Additionally, with greater customer expectations, increasing technological capabilities, and regulatory requirements, banking institutions are pushed to adopt a proactive approach to security.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Fastest Growth
- Asia-Pacific is estimated to present lucrative opportunities for the market shortly. Factors such as the increased need for security in growing industries, the need to protect high-value targets in organizations, and regulatory compliance are driving the adoption of file integrity monitoring solutions in the region.
- Small and medium-sized businesses are transforming into a hybrid cloud environment in Asia-Pacific from the legacy on-premise environment. Numerous factors have triggered this, as the hybrid cloud environment provides scalability and security concerns.
- Asia-Pacific countries are being used as launchpads for cyber attacks, either as vulnerable hotbeds of unsecured infrastructures where numerous computers can be infected easily for large-scale attacks or as centers for a single point of attack to gain access to the hubs' global connections. So the demand for file integrity monitoring systems is rising in this region.
- China's controversial Cyber Security Law (CSL) is aimed at protecting China's networks and private user information with a new law. It includes power and utility providers, transportation services, and financial institutions, including any foreign company that is a key supplier to a 'critical' sector or holds significant amounts of information on Chinese citizens, increasing the market demand in this country.
