Growing Adoption of Cloud and Integration of AI/ML into Endpoint Security Solutions Fueling Opportunities
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 21, 2025-- The 'Endpoint Security Market by Solution, Service, Enforcement Point, Vertical, Region - Global Forecast to 2030" report has been added to offering. The global endpoint security market size is projected to grow from USD 27.46 billion in 2025 to USD 38.28 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The report will help market leaders and new entrants with information on the closest approximations of the revenue numbers for the overall endpoint security market and its subsegments. It will also help stakeholders understand the competitive landscape and gain more insights to better position their businesses and plan suitable go-to-market strategies. The report also helps stakeholders understand the market pulse and provides information on key market drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. Organizations are increasingly aware of the risks of internal misuse of entitlement, whether on purpose or inadvertently, with remote work architectures, third-party access, and hybrid IT prevalent. The potential for excessive user privileges or poorly managed user privileges is likely to be greater than ever. Endpoint privilege management is able to mitigate this issue by applying the principle of least privilege, meaning users have the minimum permission that they require, when required. This approach decreases the potential attack surface, decreases lateral movement risk, and mitigates inappropriate access to data. Given the requirement for strong privilege controls in regulated industries such as BFSI, healthcare, and IT services, strong privilege controls in any endpoint security policy are now table stakes for any successful policy. The key players in the endpoint security market include Microsoft (US), Palo Alto (US), SentinelOne (US), Trend Micro (Japan), Fortinet (US), Cisco (US), Check Point (Israel), Blackberry (Canada), ESET (Slovakia), Kaspersky (Russia), Trellix (US), CrowdStrike (US), IBM (US), Broadcom (US), Sophos (UK), and others. By vertical, the BFSI segment accounts for the largest market share during the forecast period. Endpoint security is very important for BFSI organizations, which involve a considerable amount of sensitive financial and personal information. It is all about protecting all devices connected to the network, such as laptops, mobile devices, ATMs, and point-of-sale terminals, from unauthorized access and threats. Endpoint security involves modern tools, threat detection, malware and protection, encryption, and access control to secure endpoints. In December 2022 alone, finance and insurance organizations across the world suffered 566 breaches that resulted in over 254 million records being leaked. In January 2024, LoanDepot was breached, with the impact of 16.9 million individuals' security being compromised, including sensitive personal and financial data. Evolve Bank & Trust reported a breach in security that compromised the security of 7.6 million people, including social security numbers and account information. By developing and investing in endpoint security solutions that include real-time detection, protecting customer information to uphold trust, and strategic investment to sustain customers, BFSI organizations are seeking to reduce legal and reputational exposure to US legislation. By region, North America accounts for the largest market share. North America's endpoint security landscape is changing fast through strong collaborations between public and private organizations and technology partnerships between organizations, large and small, across Canada and the US. In Canada, Bell Canada partnered with SentinelOne to provide next-generation Managed Threat Detection and Response (MTDR) capabilities to its Security Operations Centre, while the University of Toronto gained 'next-gen' centralized threat management for nearly 10,000 endpoints across its campuses. In the US, federal funding and cooperation with industry partners facilitated programs including: Xage Security's USD 1.5 million contract with the US Navy to deliver Zero Trust Access as a multi-faceted and complex naval environment; and the White House combined with Microsoft and Google to deploy endpoint security capabilities, including training to critical rural hospitals. Additionally, Shepherd and Intel partnered to provide advanced Threat Detection Technology against ransomware threats. Together, all of the above describe the continent-wide approach toward advancing endpoint security through collaboration and investment and innovative platforms, aimed at addressing evolving cyber threats in all sectors, including healthcare, defense, academia, and enterprise.

ESG Reporting Software Market Expected to Reach USD 3.92 Billion by 2032
Growing Emphasis on Risk Management and Mitigation to Propel Global Market Beyond US 3.92 Billion by 2032 at 17.2% CAGR – Coherent Market Insights According to Coherent Market Insights, The Global ESG Reporting Software Market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.29 Bn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 3.92 Bn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2% from 2025 to 2032. The market is projected to experience substantial growth during the forecast period, driven by rising organizational awareness of sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. The growing emphasis on measuring, monitoring, and disclosing ESG performance is fueling demand for dedicated ESG software solutions. Furthermore, investors are placing greater importance on ESG considerations when making investment decisions, further accelerating market expansion. Global ESG Reporting Software Market Key Takeaways According to Coherent Market Insights (CMI), the global ESG reporting software market size is slated to increase at a robust CAGR of 17.2%, reaching USD 1.29 Bn in 2025 and USD 3.92 Bn in 2025. Based on offering, software segment is expected to account for nearly four-fifths of the global ESG reporting software market share in 2025. By deployment type, cloud segment is set to hold a prominent market share of nearly 3/5 in 2025. As per CMI's new ESG reporting software market analysis, North America is projected to maintain its monopoly, accounting for over two-fifths of the global market share in 2025. Asia Pacific ESG reporting software industry is poised to register fastest growth during the forecast period. Regulatory Pressure and Compliance Requirements Fuelling Market Growth Coherent Market Insights' latest ESG reporting software market research report highlights major factors driving industry growth. Increasing regulatory requirements and compliance mandates is one such key factor. Governments and regulatory bodies globally are introducing stringent ESG regulations. A few prime examples include the SEC climate disclosure rules in the United States and EU's CSRD. These mandates are compelling companies to adopt ESG reporting tools, thereby driving market growth. ESG reporting software enables organizations to manage, track, and report their ESG metrics. It makes it easier for businesses to monitor their sustainability efforts and comply with regulations by automating data collection, analysis, and reporting processes. High Implementation Costs and Data Security Concerns Limiting Market Growth The future ESG reporting software market outlook looks bright. However, growing concerns over data privacy and high implementation costs could somewhat constrain market expansion over the forecast period. Implementing ESG reporting software with existing systems like CRM and ERP can be complex and expensive. This deters some small and medium enterprises from opting for these ESG reporting platforms, dampening overall ESG reporting software market demand. Moreover, ESG platforms handle sensitive internal data, making them vulnerable to breaches, cyberattacks, and data misuse. These security concerns could also hamper the ESG reporting software market growth in the coming years. Rising Emphasis on Risk Management Creating Growth Opportunities The growing focus on risk management and mitigation is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for ESG reporting software companies. This is because ESG reporting software empowers organizations to identify, monitor, and mitigate various ESG-related risks, including climate change impacts and regulatory non-compliance. Companies can use ESG reporting software to track progress on their sustainability initiatives and identify areas for improvement. Similarly, it enables them to proactively manage potential risks, strengthen internal governance, and enhance transparency with stakeholders. Impact of AI on the ESG Reporting Software Market Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming ESG reporting software from a compliance burden into a strategic tool. This advanced technology elevates transparency, trust, and operational agility in corporate sustainability. The infusion of AI into the ESG reporting software landscape is accelerating a shift from manual, retrospective compliance toward proactive, strategic sustainability management. This shift enables organizations to effectively manage sustainability goals and make informed decisions in real time. AI-powered platforms are streamlining data collection and validation. They significantly reduce errors and shorten reporting timelines. This heightened efficiency is vital as global regulatory frameworks like the EU's CSRD and SEC climate rules raise the bar for standardized, audit-ready ESG disclosures. Emerging ESG Reporting Software Market Trends There is a growing trend of using artificial intelligence and machine learning in ESG reporting platforms. These advanced technologies significantly improve data accuracy, automate data gathering, and enhance predictive insights for ESG performance. Cloud-based ESG tools are gaining immense traction globally as they offer scalability, accessibility, and lower upfront costs. Rising adoption of these cloud-based solutions is expected to boost the ESG reporting software market value during the assessment period. Increasing investor demand for transparency is acting as a catalyst, triggering growth of the ESG reporting software market. Stakeholders, asset managers, and institutional investors increasingly prioritize ESG performance when making investment decisions. This is where ESG reporting software steps in, helping companies meet transparency expectations. Many organizations are voluntarily committing to net-zero targets, reducing their carbon footprints, and enhancing governance practices. These corporate sustainability initiatives are driving increased demand for ESG reporting software as it supports goal setting, performance tracking, and reporting progress toward sustainability commitments. Analyst's View 'The global ESG reporting software industry is set for robust growth, owing to increasing regulatory requirements, heightened compliance demands, and a growing focus on corporate sustainability,' said Monica Shevgan, a senior analyst at CMI.

Oman calls for unified stance in human rights
GENEVA: The Sultanate of Oman stressed that international efforts in the field of human rights must be grounded in firm humanitarian principles, free from politicisation or selectivity, and based on respect for human dignity, the promotion of justice and accountability. It emphasised the need for a unified international stance that places human rights at the heart of collective efforts, as a fundamental pillar for achieving peace, security and stability for all. During his address at the 59th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Idris bin Abdulrahman al Khanjari, Permanent Representative of the Sultanate of Oman to the United Nations and International Organizations, expressed Oman's concern over the declining commitments of some donor entities towards human rights issues. This, he noted, undermines the ability of international organisations to respond effectively to multiple humanitarian crises. He underscored the importance of reassessing international funding priorities and directing resources towards initiatives with direct impact, while enhancing transparency and efficiency in the management of humanitarian aid. He stated that the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip represents one of the worst crises in modern history, resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression and its accompanying grave violations of international humanitarian law. He added that this aggression has claimed the lives of thousands of civilians, including a significant number of women and children, and caused widespread destruction of infrastructure, healthcare facilities and schools. It has also led to the spread of famine and epidemics under a suffocating blockade and inhumane living conditions. Oman's Permanent Representative explained that this escalating tragedy demands urgent international action based on international law and principles of justice, aimed at halting violations, holding perpetrators accountable, ensuring civilian protection and delivering immediate humanitarian assistance — free from double standards. In a related context, Oman expresses deep concern over the military escalation in the region, particularly Israel's attacks targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, which constitute a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter, directly undermining state sovereignty and regional stability. Oman believes such actions only fuel further tension and threaten regional and international peace and security. In this regard, Oman stresses the importance of returning to diplomatic channels and adopting dialogue and understanding as an effective and sustainable approach to resolving disputes and strengthening collective security. Sara bint Abdullah al Balushiyah, First Secretary of the Permanent Delegation of Oman to the United Nations, stated in Oman's address that it appreciates the Commission of Inquiry's efforts in preparing the report, despite the serious challenges posed by the Israeli authorities' continued refusal to grant access to the occupied Palestinian territories. She noted that the report documents a series of egregious violations by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories, targeting educational, religious and cultural facilities. She emphasised that the systematic and widespread destruction of the educational sector in the occupied Palestinian territories, along with cultural centres, places of worship, and attempts to erase national identity and heritage, constitutes a full-fledged crime under international legal definitions. - ONA

"Will Not Tolerate" Illegal, Mass Immigration: US Imposes Visa Curbs
New Delhi: The United States "will not tolerate" those who facilitate illegal and mass immigration to the US, its embassy here said on Monday. In a statement, the US Embassy also said United States has "established new visa restrictions" targeting foreign government officials and others who do so. The statement was shared on the X handle of the embassy. It comes in the backdrop of an immigration crackdown by the Trump administration in California's Los Angeles recently. "We will not tolerate those who facilitate illegal and mass immigration to the United States," reads the embassy statement. The US has established "new visa restrictions targeting foreign government officials and others who do so, and the Trump administration has designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations several criminal cartels that facilitate illegal immigration and alien smuggling," it added. "Also, governments that do not facilitate the repatriation of their nationals from the United States face serious consequences, including broad restrictions on entry to the United States for their nationals," it said. The US Embassy on June 10 had also issued a statement, saying, the United States continues to welcome legitimate travellers to the country, but it "cannot and will not tolerate" illegal entry and abuse of visas or violation of US law.
