Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Endpoint Security Market

Amid the lockdown restrictions imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a shift toward remote working of work-from-home mandates triggered awareness among enterprises about data security and cyber-attacks, which bolstered the demand for cloud-based security solutions. Europe holds a substantial growth opportunity for the endpoint security market, and COVID-19 pandemic has several impacts on the market growth.

Europe is a hub of the IT & telecom, BFSI, automotive, healthcare, aerospace & defense, energy & power, and manufacturing sectors. Businesses in many European countries had to suspend their operations or reduce their activities, which affected their revenues in 2020. However, the implementation of remote working models allowed many organizations in countries such as the UK, Germany, and France to revive their operations. This transition in the work model has compelled stakeholders in the healthcare, tourism and hospitality, telecommunications, and BFSI sectors to adopt endpoint security solutions. Further, the European Commission is working on the capital markets union to introduce new funding programs for businesses in the region. Thus, such government initiatives for strengthening business activities would further contribute to the endpoint security market growth.
