Adoption of cloud storage has increased as there has been a significant reduction in buying, managing, and maintaining in-house storage infrastructure. Heavy dependency on technology has led to an exponential rise in cyber-attacks, and companies have started investing in encryption technology. Cloud encryption solutions encrypt the connection between cloud and the end point, providing end-to-end encryption and keeping the data private.

The cloud encryption solution segment is estimated to account for a dominant share of 59.6% in 2023. Owing to high adoption of cloud encryption solutions among enterprises, North America is currently dominating the global market.

How Increasing Cloud Adoption Is Boosting the Cloud Encryption Market?

Enterprises are adopting digital transformation to enhance the efficiency of operations. The pandemic came as a catalyst and prioritized the companies’ digital transformation journey, making cloud adoption a priority for organizations for improving productivity, growth, and sustainability.

Cloud adoption offers service models such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) that automate the business process, reduce IT overhead costs, help in scaling IT processes and improve overall flexibility of the business process.

The necessity to deploy security measures designed to safeguard cloud-based infrastructure, applications, and data from DDoS attacks, hackers, malwares, and unauthorized user access is propelling the adoption of encryption tools.

By investing in powerful encryption, companies are gaining operational safety and data security that complies with regulations. With growing demand for cloud encryption software and services, the market is expected to expand at a considerable pace over the assessment period.

Will The Introduction Of Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme For Cloud Security Fuel Demand?

Cloud storage security is one of the most important issues in cloud computing. Companies using cloud computing for various business processes undergo challenges regarding the protection these systems against cyber-attacks.

These companies use standard encryption methods to secure their processes by encrypting data before storing it to the cloud. The encrypted data needs to be decrypted at every operation by providing private keys to server before executing the required calculations. This affects the confidentiality of data stored in the cloud storage.

Homomorphic encryption is the new security concept capable of performing operations on encrypted data without decrypting the data, which means data processing can be outsourced to a third party without relying on it to keep the data secure. The original data cannot be accessed without the correct decryption key.

The fact that it uses an algebraic system to let users to do a range of computations (or operations) on the encrypted data sets makes it distinct from other types of encryption. It allows to preserve confidentiality of sensible data and to benefit from cloud computing capabilities.
