Abstract
This IDC MarketScape examined 19 different vendors that offer professional security services in the highly competitive and maturing Asia/Pacific market. The assessment focuses on key vendors providing short-term, project-based services that help organizations address their evolving cybersecurity needs. These vendors were evaluated across multiple criteria, including their ability to deliver consulting services; governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) support; and incident management solutions.
The study highlights how vendors are adapting to emerging threats, regulatory changes, and the increased demand for cloud and digital transformation (DX) security services. Many vendors are leveraging strategic global-local partnerships and innovative technologies, such as AI, ML, and automation, to stay ahead in this dynamic market. The report identifies the strengths of and challenges for the vendors, offering insights into their market positioning and the unique value they bring to clients.
Leaders in the IDC MarketScape are noted for their strong consulting capabilities, extensive service portfolios, and customer-centric approaches, while Major Players are recognized for their growing market presence and focus on regional or industry-specific solutions. With the combination of primary research, as well as IDC's own in-depth industry knowledge and insights, we were able to methodically assess the strength of each participating vendor and its challenges. The vendor's position on the IDC MarketScape figure will be a valuable indicator for enterprises and organizations in Asia/Pacific that are currently seeking a security provider and trusted partner to guide them on their digital transformation (DX) journey.
"Organizations in the Asia/Pacific region are increasingly looking for cybersecurity SPs that not only offer protection but also act as strategic partners in their DX journey. The ability to deliver tailored solutions, leverage cutting-edge technologies, and integrate cybersecurity into broader business strategies will distinguish the leaders in this rapidly evolving market," says Christian Fam, senior research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific Security.
"The professional security services landscape in Asia/Pacific is witnessing a transformative shift, driven by the integration of emerging technologies such as AI, ML, and quantum-safe cryptography. What sets today's PSS market apart is the emphasis on customer co-innovation, in which vendors are not just service providers but strategic partners as well. By collaborating closely with clients, leading vendors are cocreating solutions tailored to industry-specific challenges, enhancing agility, and ensuring security strategies are aligned with broader DX goals. This co-innovation approach, coupled with advanced threat intelligence and seamless security across hybrid environments, is redefining the standards for cybersecurity resilience in the region," says Sakshi Grover, senior research manager, Cybersecurity Products and Services, IDC Asia/Pacific
