Which Key Drivers Are Propelling Th Incident Response Market's Growth?
The rise in cyber-attacks is significantly fuelling the expansion of the incident response market. Cyber-attacks often aim at data theft, computer system disablement or system breaches to facilitate further attacks. These attacks, carried out by cybercriminals, typically target single or multiple computer networks. The role of incident response in identifying and handling cybersecurity attacks is indispensable, meaning that the escalating cyber-attacks are enhancing the expansion of the incident response market. Illustratively, the new data from Checkpoint, an IT security software and hardware product provider from Israel, indicated a 38% global increase in cyberattacks in 2022, as compared to 2021. It was released in January 2023. As a result, the anticipated rise in cyber-attacks is projected to drive the growth of the incident response market onwards.

What Trends Are Reshaping The Incident Response Market Landscape?
Leading businesses in the incident response market are honing their focus on providing certain incident response services such as retainers, in order to tackle the rapid decrease in cyber adversaries' dwell times and to secure a competitive advantage. A retainer refers to a predetermined fee set for services, guaranteeing access to specified resources or skills over a given time frame. For example, in August 2023, cyber security service provider, Sophos, based in the UK, initiated the Sophos Incident Response Retainer, easing access to its flat-rate incident response service complete with 45 days of 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR). This retainer was designed to speed up response times, enabling Sophos incident responders to address active cyber threats effectively. The retainer also offered external vulnerability scanning as well as essential preparatory guidelines to bolster security resilience ahead of time. With the decline of attacker dwell times, the median dwell time has seen a decrease from 10 days to eight days.
