Report Overview: Cyber Security Market


The global cyber security market size was valued at USD 145.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9% from 2021 to 2027. Cyber security and defense against online threats undertake greater significance in today’s digital changing landscape. It has become integral amid organization due to rapidly increasing frauds, cybercrimes, risk, threats, and vulnerabilities. Disruptive and emerging technologies in banking, retail, information technology, defense, and manufacturing sectors have offered new capabilities, facilitated automation, and offered ease of working in the recent past. However, these technologies have also emerged as a potent factor in the development of the global threat landscape of exploits, vulnerabilities, and malware. The emerging threat landscape is observed with an increased number of cybercrime activities in the global digital era.

The growing popularity of digitalization has compelled organizations to extensively rely on digitized information. Sharing of a vast amount of data in an external and internal environment as well as across the globe has made organizations to fall prey to cybercrime through different forms of attacks. A successful online attack can harm the enterprise as well as its reputation and brand. It can further result in a loss of competitive advantage and cause steep financial damage. In the wake of breaches and high-profile data theft, it becomes integral for an organization to determine future threats, signaling them to redesign their cybersafety stance. Thus, cyber safety is becoming a strategic imperative for an organization owing to an increased focus on preventing cybercrime activities, which can hamper the momentum of the business.

Technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and new business models extensively rely on global digitization for their growth. As the system becomes more complex, interconnected, and handles more information, the exposure to attack surface becomes much broader while exposing the gaps in the security system of the business. The primary platform for an increase in cybercrime activities is connectivity through the use of Big Data, cloud, social media, and mobile services. For instance, third-party data storage and cloud-based services have opened avenues for an online attack, which previously did not exist. Moreover, IoT products enabled with IP sensors are anticipated to introduce vulnerabilities to the user data, if they have not been adequately tested. Such services operate on the backbone of the internet and will become increasingly connected over a period of the next three years, allowing the need for a robust cyber safety system in the business environment.

The convergence of such events has driven the proliferation of endpoint and wireless safety services in an enterprise improving access to corporate information, both on-premise and outside the corporate network. A robust cybersafety layer in a business environment is aimed to detect, prevent, and react to the network attack or cyber-attack at the time of intrusion. A scalable and flexible strategy while taking advantage of the requisite solution prepares an organization to combat unforeseen challenges to their safety infrastructure.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, several incidences and cases of Cybercrime were observed across industries. Cyber threat actors that follow Cybercrime as a Service have increasingly targeted every part of the demographics that searched information related to COVID-19 using malicious domain names registered with names as COVID-19 or coronavirus. According to the Palo Alto Networks, at the end of March 2020, around 40,261 suspicious registered domain names were identified. Additionally, in recent times the use of identical business email addresses also became the preferable choice for cyber attackers to conduct attacks. Furthermore, with the shift towards the remote working environment, cyber threat risks increased among organizations. The pressing concerns of cyber threat risk influence organizations to adopt solutions and configure malware protection, detection, and mitigation strategies.
Component Insights

The services segment lead in 2019 with a 54.7% revenue share of the cyber security market. It is also anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period 2021-2027. cyber security vendors offer both professional and managed services to provide IT support and assistance for troubleshooting software issues and carrying out regular maintenance.

Moreover, digital transformation and digital workplace trends also augment segment growth.

Security Type Insights: Cyber Security Market

The infrastructure protection segment lead the market in 2019 and accounted for 27.8% revenue share. Due to the increase in the number of online attacks globally, mitigation of the losses arising out of these incidents has become a significant concern across all the sectors. Furthermore, the growing adoption of connected systems across industries that share sensitive data over the internet increases cyber risks. The increasing online attacks on the organization’s critical infrastructures, IT infrastructure space, and industrial processes are anticipated to boost demand for infrastructure protection. Additionally, an increasing number of government regulations worldwide regarding data safety and privacy and compliance is anticipated to be a key factor boosting the segment growth.
The cloud security segment is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the growing adoption of cloud-based deployment solutions and services among enterprises. Moreover, the increasing risk of malware infiltrations, risks of unauthorized access, and the increasing number of threat actors across cloud layers are impelling enterprises to adopt cloud solutions and services. Additionally, the rise in web traffic to access media content is also propelling segment growth.

Solution Insights: Cyber Security Market

The Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution segment lead the market in 2019 and accounted for 29.6% revenue share. The growth can be attributed to the growing adoption of mobile endpoints across organizations, which increases risks such as vulnerability and breaches. Furthermore, the increasing use of cloud computing and shared network to access critical organizational data is also driving the need for IAM solutions. Rising insider threat attacks and the need to automatically maintain IAM policies such as password management, roles, and privilege management, and change in historical policies. Moreover, increased demand for IAM in BFSI aimed to manage, measure security, and identify risks associated with user access is anticipated to propel the segment growth over the forecast period.

The IDS/IPS segment is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR of over 11.1% during the forecast period. The solutions improve network security by analyzing and monitoring the events of known threats, thereby mitigating detected incidents in the networks. Furthermore, the increase in IT security spending and increase adoption of network security products is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Additionally, the sophistication of hacking attempts and an increase in cyber threats are expected to fuel the market growth. The need to avoid potential data loss and data leakage due to cyberattacks is the primary factor driving the segment growth. Both insider and outsider attacks account for equal threats and warrant public disclosure of data, which can negatively impact the organizations finance. Especially with the implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) policy, failure of protecting consumer information can lead to a fine of up to 4% of company revenue.

Service Insights: Cyber Security Market

The professional service segment lead the services segment with a market share of over 70.0% in 2019. The growth is attributed to the demand for employee training, penetration testing, enterprise risk assessment, cyber security defense, and physical security testing.
