Market Growth Factors
Cyberattacks of greater sophistication throughout many industries drive the Japan cybersecurity market. Cyberattacks like ransomware attacks, state-sponsored cyberattacks, and targeted data breaches against the government and financial sectors continuously evolve. Near the end of 2024, a minimum of 46 organizations in Japan had one version of the malware infecting them. Advanced persistent threats have caused companies and critical infrastructure organizations to spend greatly on information security technologies, such as threat intelligence, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and encryption systems, to protect sensitive data and maintain business continuity.
Government initiatives and regulations are also drivers. For example, the adoption of strict data protection and privacy laws and standards in line with international regulations such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compels companies to adopt better cybersecurity measures. For example, Fujitsu and SAP Fioneer are partnering up to provide cloud-based insurance solutions. The government is working with partners to improve their defenses through compliance checks and active defense to improve the cybersecurity of cloud service providers. The government is also encouraging businesses to adopt cybersecurity infrastructure more widely.
In addition, the increasing adoption of cloud security solutions is driving the growth of the cloud security market. The trend of remote working is also increasing as 8.0% and 16.0% of the workforce in local and foreign companies operate remotely, respectively. Some Japanese cybersecurity vendors are developing cloud security services to deal with the containment of data incidents, compliance with regulations, and unauthorized access, especially in hybrid cloud environments, reflecting the shift in the industry to cloud and hybrid cloud environments.
