Education data security tools: Key market research findings
- Automated implementation of access policy to drive market growth
- Projected increase in the adoption of cloud infrastructure
- Key vendors – Cisco, McAfee, Symantec, and Trend Micro
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the education data security tools market in the US to grow at a CAGR of around almost 22% between 2016 and 2020. The automated implementation of access policy is the primary driving force behind the growth of this market. Data security tools require a key or a password to access, share, or download any useful information from school or university databases. The passkey tracks the identity of the user and the device from which the educational institute’s network is being accessed. For instance, Cisco identity service engine (ISE) continuously gathers real-time information from the network and devices and uses the information to control access based on campus policy. Data security tools also enable the creation of specific policies for individuals as they make it easier for the IT team to provide guest access for visitors like guest lecturers, parents, board member, and others.
The new market research report from Technavio presents a breakdown and analysis of the education data security tools market in the US based on the product.
“The increasing adoption of cloud infrastructure is an ongoing trend in the education data security tools market in the US. At present, schools and universities are working to overcome challenges pertaining to devices they use to process and store data through the adoption of cloud infrastructure. Vendors such as Trend Micro are attempting to tackle these concerns by providing schools and colleges with a single security solution across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. These solutions include private, public, and hybrid clouds. Besides, cloud providers are also partnering with support vector machines (SVM) vendors to enable the evaluation of the security posture of cloud infrastructures,” says Jhansi Mary, Lead Analyst, Education, Technavio Research.
