HCL’s Cybersecurity Fusion Centers aims to provide a unified security platform that connects security teams, tools, and procedures throughout the threat lifecycle by utilizing IBM’s Cloud Pak for Security.

Standardization of Data Protection Rules Propels Data-Centric Security Market Growth:
Data protection rules and regulations changed over the decade owing to the incorporation of smart technologies and new working models among the companies. Several news reforms and infrastructure are demanding modern techniques of data protection. For instance, regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) require organizations to take a more data-centric approach to security.

Organizations must not only focus on protecting data at different layers of technology but also take care to protect data throughout its lifecycle, from initial ingestion to final disposal. Furthermore, more economies worldwide are enacting strict data protection laws with the extraterritorial application. For instance, in November 2020, the Canadian government introduced the Digital Charter Implementation Act legislation that would change privacy policies. The Directive acts to enact consumer privacy laws and personal information and data protection statutes and to make consequential and related changes to other laws. The intent and purpose of the law are consistent with certain provisions of the GDPR.

Similarly, the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) was revised in September 2020 (revFADP) to include stricter provisions focused on protecting the privacy rights of personal data during processing. It is expected to enter into force in 2022. Moreover, International economic organizations such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, and the African Union (AU) developed their privacy policies regarding cross-border transfers of personal data.

These policies help create international privacy and data protection standards to facilitate international trade but may be less stringent than the domestic laws of participating countries. Additionally, some new provisions are very similar to their GDPR counterparts. These include the right to be forgotten, the right to data portability, the requirement for periodic Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), and reporting obligations in the event of a breach. Thus, the growing stringent rules pushed organizations towards more data-centric security approaches, driving the market growth.

Cyberattacks on new and quickly built remote access and teleworking infrastructure have grown in North America after the COVID-19 outbreak. In 2021, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and the Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reported that they are witnessing a sharp increase in phishing and malware distribution using COVID-19-themed mails and the registration of new domain names with COVID-19-related terms. Furthermore, VMware’s Global Security Insights Report showed that most Canadian businesses faced cyberattacks in 2020 as more employees worked from home. As a result, many security leaders are looking for ways to improve their cybersecurity policies and technologies to combat emerging cyber threats.

According to VMware’s report, 86% of Canadian organizations were breached in 2020, 78% reported an increase in cyberattack volume, and 79% reported cyberattacks became more accurate and specific. Hence, more companies are focusing on the cybersecurity infrastructure, which has created many opportunities for data-centric security players in the region. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic boosted the growth of the North American data-centric security market.
