File integrity monitoring (FIM) is a security practice that continuously monitors and analyzes files and systems for unauthorized or unexpected changes. It helps ensure the integrity and security of critical files and configurations by alerting administrators to any alterations, potentially indicating malicious activity or compliance violations. File integrity monitoring is essential for detecting and mitigating security breaches and maintaining regulatory compliance.
File Integrity Monitoring Global Market Report 2024 provides data on the global file integrity monitoring market such as market size, growth forecasts, segments and geographies, competitive landscape including leading competitors’ revenues, profiles and market shares. The File Integrity Monitoring market report identifies opportunities and strategies based on market trends and leading competitors’ approaches.
The file integrity monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.92 billion in 2023 to $1.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in the demand for cloud computing, increasing threats to IT infrastructure, data privacy concerns, increased awareness and adoption of security technologies, and data breach prevention. The file integrity monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.91 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing threats to the organization's data, the increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks, the rising number of cross-border terrorist activities, and growing remote work trends. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of cloud-based FIM solutions, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), focus on real-time detection and response, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.
The rising number of cybercrime cases is expected to propel the growth of the file integrity monitoring market going forward. Cybercrime encompasses criminal activities using digital technologies or the internet, such as hacking and phishing. These cases are increasing due to expanded connectivity and sophisticated cybercriminal tactics. File integrity monitoring plays a critical role in detecting and mitigating cyberattacks by providing real-time alerts on unauthorized changes to critical files and configurations, thus preventing data breaches and maintaining system integrity. For instance, in November 2022, the Australian Cyber Security Centre reported over 76,000 cybercrime reports in Australia during the 2021–22 financial year, a 13% increase from 2020. This increase reflects a report lodged approximately every 7 minutes, up from every 8 minutes in the previous year. Therefore, the rising number of cybercrime cases is driving the growth of the file integrity monitoring market.
