Thriving Online Banking Sector Fuels the Demand for MFT Software and Service
The expanse of online banking sector has been a primary factor propelling the demand for managed file transfer software and services. The past decade has seen a tremendous rise in the number of online banking customers eventually resulting in potential cyber-attacks. Banks and financial institutions are increasingly adopting MFT solutions since the past few years. The growth in adoption rate is attributed to burgeoning need for security of data and governance.
Secure Data Transfer Gains Traction in Data-sensitive Fields
Increasing rates of device theft, data hacking, frauds, and phishing attacks are rapidly boosting the need for safety and security of critically important financial data and other information. Data-sensitive sectors, such as financial institutions, banks, and defence institutes constantly seek the utmost security and enhanced performance at reduced costs. This is effectively achieved by the implementation of appropriate MFT solutions, reaffirming the possibilities of market growth in near future.
Innovation and Acceptance of Cloud Technology Provides Impetus
The advent of technology has brought in several benefits, coupled with secure data transfer. With growing applications of cloud-based MFT solutions and rising awareness about flexibility benefits of cloud-based file transfer, the market will gather momentum over the forecast period. A large number of SMEs and banks are increasingly investing in cloud-based managed file transfer solutions in order to achieve cost-effective maintenance and scalability. Affordable infrastructure associated with cloud-based on-premise MFT deployment is likely to create lucrative opportunities in market.
System-centric File Transfer Software Leads the Software Segment
