India managed security services market was estimated at US$ 450 million in 2021 and is expected to gain a robust growth rate of around 24% during the forecast period 2022-2028. Managed security services are monitoring and management of security devices and systems. Some of the pivotal growth drivers of India’s managed security service markets include scarcity of in-house expertise and human talent, evolving regulatory and compliance requirements, increased awareness of reputational risks, and revenue losses associated with sensitive data breaches, coupled with the increasing complexity of targeted attacks.
Moreover, mega campaigns such as Smart Cities Initiative, Digital India, and Make in India are likely to propel managed security services growth in the country; technological trends like virtualization, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), cloud, and Big Data are likely to be the differentiators.
Despite businesses making significant investments in security systems and procedures, cyberattacks are always evolving in terms of sophistication and audacity. The need for managed security services will increase across industries due to emerging threats and a rapidly shifting regulatory environment. The managed services business in India is mostly untapped and is anticipated to expand considerably more quickly than it has in the US and Europe.
BFSI segment is the prominent adopters of managed security services

BFSI segment is dominating the India managed security service market in 2021. BFSI and IT/IT-enabled services (ITeS) are the some of the prominent adopters of managed security services in India and are expected to generate significant revenue over the forecast period. Security breaches, data thefts, compromised passwords are some common forms of cyber-attacks that are of major concern for BFSI organizations. As technology upgrades, new competent cybercriminals and cybercrime strategies are also developing to neutralize the protective security measures taken by India-based BFSI organizations, which shows that the existing cyber security approaches implemented are not enough to secure the gaps in the business systems.
