The market share by the cloud-based segment will be significant during the forecast period. Cloud-based DLP helps companies extend their DLP policies to the cloud to protect data loss from malicious insiders or hackers. Owing to the rising number of data breaches in the cloud, the average cost of a data breach has also increased, thereby increasing the demand for cloud-based DLP solutions. Cloud-based DLP enforces DLP policies in real-time and enables businesses to perform on-demand scans of all data stored in the cloud, helping them identify data that doesn't match policies.

The cloud-based segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 373.70 million in 2018. Companies have security solutions in place to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data. However, many companies struggle to prevent data from flowing through file sharing, social media, cloud storage, or other digital applications. Owing to unintentional user actions or malicious activity, sensitive corporate data can be leaked on the Internet. A cloud-based DLP solution provided by Zscaler, a cloud-based information security company, that helps businesses analyze and monitor all outgoing data, including full Security Layer (SSL) audit sessions, without affecting performance. Hence, the increasing adoption of cloud-based DLP in the enterprise will accelerate the growth of the segment, which will drive the growth of the data loss prevention capabilities of the market during the forecast period.
Datacenter or storage-based DLP solutions keep tabs on data stored in an organization's data center infrastructure. Market players like IBM, Dell, and Microsoft mainly offer DLP data centers, making them very popular in the IT industry. The advantages and high demand for the segment boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Companies are trying to raise their customer base by expanding their presence in North American countries such as the US and Canada. In addition, the penetration of DLP solutions in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is low as most data loss prevention market players focus on large enterprises to provide this solution. As a result, several players offer DLP solutions developed specifically to meet the need for DLP among SMEs.
Moreover, the presence of major market players such as McAfee and Symantec in North America is expected to drive the growth of the DLP market in the region. These players strive to differentiate their products to cater to different end users, such as commercial enterprises, in order to provide a better customer experience. Furthermore, data loss prevention (DLP) market players are engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to increase their market share. For example, in October 2021, Digital Guardian, the sole provider of DLP SaaS solutions for large and medium-sized businesses, was acquired by HelpSystems, LLC. Hence, such factors are expected to drive data loss prevention market growth in this region during the forecast period.
In the realm of cybersecurity and data protection, Ericsson and Nightfall AI are leading innovations with solutions that adhere to stringent standards such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA. Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace are increasingly integrated with security measures compliant with GDPR and other regulatory frameworks. Technologies like SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and SSE (Security Service Edge) enhance network security, while secure web gateways help manage and mitigate risks associated with web traffic. Tessian and Imperva provide robust solutions for data protection and threat management, and Ekran Systems focuses on insider threat detection and user activity monitoring. The services segment of the cybersecurity market continues to evolve, incorporating advanced technologies to address security challenges and ensure compliance with critical standards. This comprehensive approach helps organizations safeguard sensitive information and maintain regulatory compliance.
The growing use of cloud for data storage is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Businesses store their data in the cloud because it helps them stay productive. Data storage in the cloud is expected to increase due to the rise of IoT and the need to reduce operational costs (OPEX). Cloud services allow companies to make reasonable investments in supporting and maintaining infrastructure requirements to provide accessible data storage with artificial intelligence. This is driving businesses to adopt DLP solutions to ensure that sensitive data breach reporting in the cloud is protected while businesses and their employees benefit from the efficiency and scalability of the cloud.
Moreover, the DLP solution ensures that corporate data protection legislation is not sent to the cloud unencrypted and only sent to authorized cloud applications. Additionally, when information is shared in the cloud, some DLP solutions delete or modify sensitive information to ensure that it is protected while moving to cloud storage. In the event of a discrepancy in the transmission to the cloud, the DLP solution immediately alerts the appropriate corporate administrators of the risk. Hence, increasing adoption of cloud-based storage solutions will drive the growth of the global DLP market during the forecast period.
The use of IT analytics for preventing data loss is the primary trend in the market. Computer analytics with DLP can help generate reports to demonstrate risk over time. Additionally, IT Analytics is a powerful business intelligence and ad-hoc reporting tool that helps employees access the DLP dashboard to run reports. This unification will protect sensitive data from malicious or careless attackers and outside hackers. Integrating IT analytics and DLP requires advanced analytics to identify threats and provide flexible solutions to respond appropriately based on business processes and risk tolerance.
As a result, some market players provide IT analytics with their DLP solutions to provide better solutions for the business. For example, the Symantec DLP solution uses computer analytics deployed by Bay Dynamics. It provides additional reports, reports based on blocks (summary) and key performance indicators (KPIs). Hence, DLP market players are increasingly adopting IT analytics to provide a secure and hassle-free experience to their customers, which is expected to drive the growth of the DLP market during the forecast period.
Threat from open-source DLP solutions affects the growth of the market. Baobab's open source DLP solutions pose a serious threat to the on-premises and cloud-based DLP markets. They can be downloaded and run on all platforms and are becoming increasingly popular in developing countries like India and China. Most small businesses in these economies cannot afford to invest in expensive on-premises and cloud-based DLP solutions.
For example, GitHub, a web hosting service, offers OpenDLP, a free and open source DLP engine, centrally managed, agent-based, and widely distributed and released under the General Public License (GPL). It can help companies to identify sensitive data across thousands of systems at once. As a result, companies are adopting open source solutions that require almost no capital investment. They are very economical solutions for organizations with limited resources and expertise. Increasing adoption of open source DLP solutions is impeding the growth of the global DLP market during the forecast period.
