South Korea Endpoint Security Market

South Korea Endpoint Security Market Overview:

The South Korea endpoint security market size reached USD 381.17 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 841.62 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.20% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising cybersecurity threats, increasing adoption of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), and stringent government regulations on data privacy. The need for robust security measures to protect critical infrastructures and corporate data also fuels the market. As cyber threats evolve, businesses increasingly invest in advanced endpoint security solutions, contributing to the South Korea endpoint security market share.

South Korea Endpoint Security Market Trends:

Growing Cyber Threats and Targeted Attacks


The increasing sophistication of cyber threats such as ransomware and phishing attacks is a key factor driving the South Korea endpoint security market growth. For instance, in April 2025, Kaspersky uncovered a sophisticated cyberattack by the Lazarus group targeting South Korean supply chains. Using a watering hole attack, the group exploited vulnerabilities in third-party software, including a zero-day flaw in Innorix Agent. At least six South Korean organizations across IT, finance, and telecom sectors were affected. The malware involved, such as ThreatNeedle and LPEClient, was deployed through an attack chain. Kaspersky collaborated with the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KrCERT) to address the vulnerabilities, highlighting the security risks from third-party software. Organizations are facing more advanced and persistent security risks targeting their endpoints, including mobile devices, laptops, and IoT devices. These attacks can lead to significant financial losses, data breaches, and reputational damage, pushing companies to adopt advanced endpoint security solutions. As a result, demand for solutions that offer proactive threat detection, real-time monitoring, and rapid response capabilities has surged. Additionally, the increasing use of AI-driven tools for threat intelligence is enhancing the ability of endpoint security solutions to detect and mitigate these evolving threats effectively.

Stringent Regulatory and Compliance Requirements


The South Korean government has implemented stringent data protection regulations to safeguard personal and corporate data, fueling the demand for robust endpoint security solutions. These regulations, such as the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), require businesses to comply with strict data security standards. As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to advanced endpoint security solutions to ensure compliance and avoid heavy penalties. Endpoint security products that offer data encryption, secure access control, and compliance reporting features are becoming essential. Moreover, with the growing focus on protecting consumer data and ensuring organizational resilience against cyber-attacks, businesses are investing in solutions that align with regulatory requirements, further driving the South Korea endpoint security market share. For instance, in July 2025, the South Korean government imposed a fine and regulatory requirements on SK Telecom following a data breach that exposed 27 million records. After a task force investigation, 28 servers were found infected with 33 strains of malware, including BPFDoor. SK Telecom faces penalties and must take corrective actions such as quarterly security assessments and improving password management. This breach highlights the vulnerability of telecom companies and the importance of timely breach notifications in South Korea’s growing cybersecurity landscape.
