Moreover, Cloud UAM solutions are available according to customer's demand, wherein a customer can start or stop any service, at will. UAM solutions help organizations optimize the employee productivity, protect sensitive data, applications, and comply with stringent regulations. Hence these benefits are analysed to drive the market growth in the forecast period 2020-2025.

 

User Activity Monitoring in Government and Defense segment is growing at a CAGR of 24.2% in the forecast period. Security threats in this vertical are increasing at an alarming rate. Moreover, this vertical is targeted to extract highly confidential and sensitive data of critical sectors, such as governments, prime contractors, and suppliers. Additionally, the governments across various regions are witnessing reduced employee productivity due to the result of internet misuse. Due to such reasons, organizations are deploying UAM solutions for enhancing their productivity. Moreover, the advanced UAM solutions provide in-depth information about applications usage, network activities, Messaging, scripts, document tracking, and file transfers. Furthermore, these UAM solutions help the government and defense organizations in conducting incident responses, monitoring high-risk insiders, and measuring employee’s productivity. Hence these benefits are analyzed to drive the market in the forecast period 2020-2025.

 

North America dominated the market by a market share of more than 37.5% in 2019, owing to the presence of developed economies such as U.S and Canada.  The increasing information security challenges due to network complexities, along with meeting strict compliance regulations and enhancing employee productivity, is pushing organizations in this region to adopt UAM solutions. Moreover U.S and Canada organizations these days are implementing user activity monitoring tools which are used in detecting and stopping potential insider threats of all kinds. Implementation of the user activity monitoring helps enterprises in proactively keeping a tap on suspicious activities and mitigates risks right at its inception and stop data breaches, or at least minimize potential damages. Hence these benefits are analyzed to drive the market in the forecast period 2020-2025.

 

The UAM solution plays a crucial role in optimizing organizations efficiency by enhancing employee productivity. The single sign-on solution helps employees use multiple business applications. It identifies employees and sanctions access securely. Integrated UAM products provide a single console administration facility, which can help gain higher visibility and comprehensive coverage in organizations. Additionally, UAM solutions reduce security risks and provide a robust security mechanism that enables organizations to mitigate potential security threats and data loss. These solutions also help users to access information through mobile devices even from a remote location. In addition, UAM solutions deliver robust security to the credentials of super users and safeguard organizations sensitive data from unauthorized access and cyber-attacks. Due to the cost-saving and employee productivity enhancement features, the UAM solution is being increasingly deployed in organizations. Therefore, the UAM market is expected to witness significant growth in recent years. 

 

The integration of UAM with Identity and Access Management (IAM) and SIEM improves the security posture of organizations by providing the capabilities of these solutions in a unified way. The UAM solution helps enterprises manage security threats and stringent regulatory compliances. Organizations can use integrated UAM solutions as a strategic initiative to achieve robust protection from internal and external threats. This would help companies increase their focus on monitoring users and the resources accessed by them. IAM technology provides access and privilege policy management but not UAM. However, the integration of UAM with IAM delivers the robust security capabilities of UAM to IAM users for protecting them against potential security threats. Therefore, many vendors are forming partnerships with other leading companies to provide integrated UAM solutions with IAM and SIEM capabilities, for delivering comprehensive security to global organizations.

 

Insider attacks and security breaches are continuously growing, and organizations are increasing their IT security investments to ensure protection against advanced threats, zero-day malware, Trojans, and other targeted threats. Investments are becoming a matter of concern for many organizations, including SMEs. Furthermore, the development cost for robust security solutions is high, which, in turn, leads to increased implementation costs for customers. Budget constraints are becoming a significant barrier to the growth of the UAM market. The cost factor is proving a hindrance to carry out IT security operations in organizations effectively. Additionally, security investments in SMEs are not sufficient to fulfill every security need. Therefore, organizations have to understand which information assets are the most important to curb the evolving security threats. The security investments by organizations in developing economies, such as MEA and Latin America, are lower as compared to the other regions, and these investments should be increased for better protection from emerging cyber threats.
