Description
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) secure content management (SCM) market continued to grow in 2018, and the Web security segment was the key growth driver. This segment dominates the market due to the strong adoption of measures to manage online content, mainly because of the stringent regulations in place and the need to comply with them and the rising number of users in an organization and the devices connected to the organization's networks. SCM remains an integral part of an enterprise’s security strategy as e-mail and Web are still the first entry points for cyber threats. Businesses prefer to adopt integrated SCM solutions rather than dedicated ones as integration enables security teams to detect, respond to, and investigate threat incidents more efficiently.

Research scope
The study period is from 2019 to 2023, and the base year is 2018. SCM solutions are the key area of focus and they cover e-mail security and Web security. Vertical segmentation is as follows: government, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), service provider, manufacturing, education, and other sectors (pharmaceuticals, retail, logistics, oil and gas, energy, mining, agriculture, IT/ITES, and BPO). Horizontal segmentation covers large businesses and small and medium businesses.

Important companies in the APAC SCM market include Symantec, Cisco (IronPort), Trend Micro, Digital Arts, Alps System, Forcepoint, SANGFOR, QiAnXin, McAfee, and Canon IT Solutions. In terms of geography, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Japan, and South Korea are the countries under study.

Research highlights 
The study highlights important market growth drivers and restraints. Key drivers include the constantly evolving risks that drive the need for e-mail and Web security solutions, the stringent security and privacy requirements that push organizations to invest in on-premise security solutions, and the need for productivity management that drives enterprises to invest in these solutions.
