North America region is characterized by the presence of well-developed countries such as the US and Canada, strong industry base, and high technology adoption. Due to high level of industry automation and prevalence of digital services among customers, the enterprises in this region are facing a huge risk from cyber-attacks and data breaches. In addition to this, the rising adoption of technologies such as cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence in diverse industry verticals such as BFSI, healthcare, IT, telecom, manufacturing, and government is further increasing the vulnerability of systems and networks towards cyber-attacks and other security threats.

Other developing regions such as MEA and SAM are also projected to grow at a steady pace, owing to the increasing government initiatives to digitalize the economy with adoption of advanced technologies.

The organizations in the North America region are investing heavily for the security of their networks. Also, they are providing training to their employees to manage the digital workplace safely. The major reason for huge investment in the cyber security is the widespread cybercrime not only in IT, telecom, and BFSI, but also among small, medium and large enterprises. Further, rising cybersecurity breaches in North America creates an opportunity for security advisory service providers to introduce their services to the organizations to handle security challenges. Due to the lack of cybersecurity knowledge, security experts are unable to handle the huge volume of daily insights, which leaves companies exposed to security threats. The security advisory services help the Security Operations Center to deliver actionable feedback to the security analysts, which intern enables an analyst to focus on crucial elements of the investigation with utmost efficiency. As cybercrime is becoming more organized, it is imperative to adopt efficient security advisory services, which help mitigate security risk and threats. Thus, need for maintenance of crucial data and increasing frequency of cyber-attacks are the factors driving the growth of the security advisory services market.
