Description

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cloud-Native Security Market is accounted for $8.10 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $35.49 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 23.5% during the forecast period. Cloud-native security refers to safeguarding applications built on modern cloud frameworks like containers, Kubernetes clusters, microservices, and serverless systems. Rather than traditional perimeter protection, it relies on identity controls, segmentation of workloads, automated governance, and continual vulnerability checks. Security is embedded throughout the CI/CD pipeline so DevSecOps teams can detect weaknesses early and respond rapidly. Real-time analytics help spot abnormal activity, stop intrusions, and ensure regulatory compliance. With this strategy, companies protect fast-changing cloud workloads, avoid configuration errors, and support secure scalability. Ultimately, cloud-native security provides strong, automated defense for dynamic, distributed applications in the cloud.

According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, breaches in cloud environments cost organizations an average of $4.45 million, with hybrid cloud breaches being the most expensive. The report emphasizes the importance of cloud-native security controls such as microsegmentation, identity federation, and automated threat detection.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising adoption of cloud-native applications

The growing migration to cloud-native development is fueling strong demand for cloud-native security solutions. More enterprises are deploying microservices, containers, serverless platforms, and Kubernetes to improve agility and application performance. Since these distributed environments are complex, legacy security systems fail to provide the required visibility or control. Organizations operating across public, private, and hybrid clouds need unified tools that secure workloads, enforce identity-based access, automate policies, and detect threats in real time. Security that aligns with DevSecOps processes has become essential so risks are addressed continuously. This rising adoption of modern application architectures is directly accelerating the cloud-native security market.

Restraint:

High complexity of cloud-native environments

One major barrier to cloud-native security adoption is the technical complexity of modern cloud ecosystems. Applications run on container clusters, microservices, APIs, and multiple cloud platforms, which makes monitoring and securing them extremely challenging. Organizations need specialized knowledge in container defense, identity controls, workload isolation, and automated policies, but many teams do not have these skills. Integrating different tools for detection, scanning, and orchestration increases management difficulty. Because security staff trained on traditional systems struggle with dynamic cloud workloads, deployment becomes expensive and slow. As a result, many enterprises delay cloud-native security investments, which restrict the overall expansion of the market.

Opportunity:

Rising adoption of DevSecOps and automation

Expansion of DevSecOps strategies is creating major growth prospects for cloud-native security. Businesses are moving security earlier in the development life cycle, ensuring risks are identified during coding, testing, and deployment stages. Automated tools handle scanning, monitoring, policy control, and compliance reporting, reducing manual effort. These solutions help teams deploy faster, maintain governance, and respond instantly to threats. As digital transformation spreads across industries, companies seek smarter, automated platforms that limit human mistakes and secure complex workloads. The rise of DevSecOps adoption directly increases market demand for cloud-native security tools that integrate seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines and cloud orchestration.

Threat:

Rapidly evolving cyberattacks

A significant threat to the cloud-native security industry is the fast advancement of cloud-focused cyberattacks. Criminals are improving their techniques to target APIs, containers, serverless workloads, and Kubernetes environments. Weak access controls, third-party vulnerabilities, or improper configuration can lead to quick exploitation. Modern attacks like supply-chain intrusion, API manipulation, and container breakouts are difficult to detect with traditional solutions. Hackers also rely on AI-driven automation to find weaknesses and execute attacks at high speed. If cyber risks keep increasing faster than security innovation, organizations may lose confidence in cloud-native tools, slowing adoption and creating trust challenges for solution providers.

Covid-19 Impact:

COVID-19 played a major role in expanding the cloud-native security market. When companies shifted to large-scale remote operations, cloud adoption surged, including microservices, serverless computing, and multi-cloud deployments. The fast transition created vulnerabilities, weak configurations, and increased cyberattacks on digital workloads and online applications. This pushed enterprises to adopt advanced security platforms with automated policy enforcement, identity-based access, and real-time analytics. Sectors such as banking, technology, healthcare, and e-commerce invested heavily to secure distributed data and meet regulatory rules. Although a few organizations reduced budgets early in the pandemic, long-term demand for cloud-native security increased significantly as digital transformation accelerated.

The public cloud segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The public cloud segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period because it offers unmatched scalability, cost benefits, and fast deployment for modern applications. Companies increasingly rely on major cloud providers to run containers, APIs, microservices, and serverless workloads across global infrastructure. This creates strong demand for cloud-native security solutions that deliver continuous monitoring, automated governance, and identity-based access control. Since public cloud platforms experience more targeted cyber risks, enterprises focus on advanced protection to secure distributed data and compliance requirements. As organizations continue cloud migration and adopt DevSecOps practices, the public cloud remains the dominant area boosting market growth for cloud-native security.

The small & medium enterprises (SMEs) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the small & medium enterprises (SMEs) segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate as they accelerate cloud migration and digital operations. Many SMEs adopt cloud platforms to reduce infrastructure spending, increase agility, and support distributed teams. Because they often lack large security teams, SMEs prefer automated cloud-native tools that offer real-time analytics, access control, and continuous vulnerability scanning. Flexible subscription models help smaller companies access advanced security without heavy investment. With growing cyber risks aimed at smaller organizations, the need to secure cloud workloads and sensitive data is pushing SMEs to adopt cloud-native security, resulting in the highest growth rate among user segments.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share, owing to its advanced technology infrastructure and leading role in cloud adoption. Companies there operate on expansive data-center networks and deploy modern architectures like microservices and serverless platforms, prompting heavy investment in specialized security solutions. A large number of enterprise-sized organizations, strong cyber-threat vigilance, and rigorous compliance requirements further boost demand. Security providers focus on North America first and offer integrated tools suited for the region’s cloud-native ecosystems and DevSecOps practices. Due to these drivers, North America commands the largest portion of the global cloud-native security market.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR due to rapid cloud adoption and modernization of IT systems. Companies in banking, telecom, retail, manufacturing, and digital services are moving to containerized and serverless environments to enhance performance. Rising cybersecurity risks, compliance requirements, and the shift toward remote operations are pushing enterprises to deploy advanced cloud-native protection with continuous monitoring and access control. Both established firms and emerging businesses are adopting automated, scalable security tools to safeguard multi-cloud workloads.
