Data Governance Market by Component, Deployment Model, Organisation Size, Application (Risk Management, Incident Management, and Compliance Management), Vertical (Manufacturing, Healthcare and BFSI), and Region – Global Forecast to 2025
Markets And Markets Blog
[316 Pages Report]The data governance market is expected to grow from USD 2.1 billion in 2020 to USD 5.7 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.3% during the forecast period.
Factors such as the rapidly increasing growth in data volumes, rising regulatory and compliance mandates, and enhancing strategic risk management and decision-making with the increasing business collaborations are expected to drive the growth of the global data governance market.
The global ICT spending is estimated to decline by 4–5% by the end of 2020.
The hardware business is predicted to have the most impact on the IT industry.
Due to the slowdown of hardware supply and reduced manufacturing capacity, the IT infrastructure growth has slowed down.
The businesses providing solutions and services are also expected to slow down for a short span of time.
However, the adoption of collaborative applications, analytics, security solutions, and AI is set to increase in the remaining part of the year.
Many of the significant COVID-19 initiatives involve sensitive data, from patient data to personal banking data.
There are great risks to data security posed by the swift influx of these new data sources into a company’s data ecosystem.
Driver: Growing regulatory compliance and privacy concerns for data security
Restraint: Integration of data from data silos
Opportunity: Adoption of DevOps across all company software
Challenge: Complexities in governing security across BYOD and cloud platforms

Cybersecurity Startup Dazz Raises $60 Million to Solve Cloud Security Remediation
VCA Online
PALO ALTO, Calif., December 14, 2021– Dazz, a fast-growing cloud security remediation company, today announced that it has closed on a new round of funding and that it has raised a total of $60 million to date from some of the world’s most prominent venture capital firms.
The company will expand its engineering team and build a go-to-market organization in the United States with offices in Palo Alto and New York.
Venture capital firms participating in the funding round include Insight Partners (Steve Ward), Greylock (Asheem Chandna and Sarah Guo), Index Ventures (Shardul Shah), and Cyberstarts (Gili Raanan).
Dazz’s technology addresses the urgent security need created by the rapid adoption of cloud computing, which has been accelerated by the pandemic, and which McKinsey predicts will grow six times the speed of IT spending.
While cloud and application security tools today alert on issues like code flaws and infrastructure misconfigurations, Dazz takes aim at the long-ignored and painful remediation process.
The company’s automated solution cuts customers’ alert queues, vastly reduces the mean time to remediate issues, and eases tension between security and engineering teams.
Bahat served as the General Manager of the Cloud Security Business for Microsoft, and was also the Deputy CEO of Microsoft Israel R&D.
She co-founded the company with CTO, Tomer Schwartz and VP R&D, Yuval Ofir, who are acclaimed cybersecurity leaders with decades of combined experience solving cloud and cybersecurity challenges across global enterprises.
Schwartz, co-founded IoT security leader Armis, was head of research at Adallom, and founded the Microsoft Security Response Center in Israel.
Ofir, headed R&D at industrial cybersecurity leader Claroty and was a leader in the prestigious Israeli Defense Forces intelligence unit 8200.
Dazz already has 30 employees — among the top engineering talent in Israel — and plans to use the new funds to expand the team to 50.
It also plans to use the funds to build a go-to-market and operations organization of similar size, including sales, marketing, customer success and operations in the United States, targeting Fortune 500 and fast growing tech companies.
