The Global Data Protection Index by Dell EMC has surveyed 2,200 IT decision-makers from 18 countries in 2018. Of these, 76% experienced a disruption and 27% experienced irreparable data loss in 2018, which is around double that of 14% in 2016. Although system downtime is a problem, the loss of data is particularly expensive. On average, 20 hours of downtime cost businesses $494,869. Further, the average data loss of 2.04 terabytes costs nearly $939,703. As it costs high to enterprises, the companies are moving towards network protection solutions, which in turn, drives the growth of the global FWaaS market. 

For instance, on average, organizations managed 9.70 petabyte (PB) of data in 2018, which signifies an explosive growth of 569% as compared to 1.45 PB managed in 2016. Further, 92% of businesses across the globe realize the potential value of data, with 36% already monetizing it. According to the survey, the use of the public cloud has increased from 28% of the total IT environment in respondents’ organizations in 2016 to 40% in 2018. Nearly all (98%) organizations are using the public cloud as a part of data protection infrastructure, reflecting the enormous potential for the expansion of the market growth. 

In addition, according to Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), data breaches are an ever-increasing threat to every industry, with the number of the US data breach incidents tracked in 2017 hitting a new record of 1,579 breaches. It is a 44.7% increase over 2016’s record-breaking numbers. Of the data breaches reported in 2017, 8.5% involved the financial sector, such as banks, credit unions, financial services, credit card companies, investment firms, mortgage and loan brokers, payday lenders and pension funds. Owing to such factors, various industry verticals are adopting FWaaS solutions; thereby, propelling the growth of the global firewall as a service (FWaaS) market.
