Industrial Cybersecurity Market Size Global Forecast to 2027 | MarketsandMarkets

The report "Industrial Cybersecurity Market by Security Type (Network, Endpoint, Application, Cloud, Wireless), Offering (Products and Services), End-user (Power, Utilities, Transportation, Chemicals & Manufacturing) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027 ", size was valued at USD 16.2 billion in 2022 and was expected to reach USD 20.1 billion by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2027.

The Industrial cybersecurity market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4%, from USD 16.2 billion in 2022 to USD 20.1 billion in 2027. The primary reasons for this rise in demand for industrial cybersecurity products in power industry.

Driver: Increasing focus on integrating IoT into industrial control systems

The IoT has brought great convenience in executing complex tasks and simplified the lives of millions of people. It offers modern industries a new way to manage, store, and process data in the cloud and data centers. With the adoption of IoT technologies, industrial organizations can extract more meaningful information from a large volume of data generated in their facilities. In 2021, the number of global IoT connections was 13.8 billion, and this number is expected to reach 39.0 billion by 2027. Smart devices have revolutionized the way customers, enterprises, and communication service providers interact with each other. They have enabled the automation and agility of different business processes. The increased smartphone penetration across the world has led to a rise in the number of interconnected devices using multiple platforms. These devices are connected to each other through wireless cellular and non-cellular networks such as Zigbee, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, and upcoming 5G. These connected devices are instrumental in ensuring that the data is continuously tracked to understand the deviation in the standard operating processes (SOPs).

Restraint: Underestimation of threat levels and misunderstanding of nature of threats

The industrial control system has been continuously evolving and has started including a wide range of interconnected devices that help the industry workforce to understand and analyze the operational environment. However, it also puts the system in danger of cyberattacks. Owing to the relative rarity of targeted attacks against automation systems and the excessive reliance on safety measures, owners of industrial enterprises and their staff underestimate the existing and upcoming probable threats in the ICS environment.

Similarly, over the past few years, security technologies have developed extensively to catch up on offensive cyber capabilities. To analyze and design a security system, developers always try to stay ahead of the attackers, but security products and associated technologies are generally designed by analyzing the historical threats, which generally do not include all details of operational technologies (OTs). Thus, industrial control systems are designed to protect against synthetic attacks. Consequently, security products and software solutions are designed without imaging or considering potential threats or the nature of future attacks and without a thorough analysis and scrutiny of a day-to-day threat landscape. As a result, real-world threats are underestimated.

Opportunity: Growing focus of government organizations on releasing rules and regulations for security of industrial control systems

Several government organizations such as the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are continuously releasing security guidelines, rules and regulations, and standards for the security of industrial control systems. NIST has also introduced many security standards and guidelines that are commonly used to secure traditional IT systems. Some most prominent security standards applicable for industrial control systems are the ISA/IEC 62443 and the NIST SP 800-82. NCCIC and ICS-CERT save control system environments from emerging cyber threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICS-CERT have incorporated the Industrial Control Systems Joint Working Group (ICSJWG) to enable information sharing and reduce threats related to industrial systems. Additionally, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), an organization of DHS, is responsible for analyzing and reducing cyber threats and vulnerabilities, disseminating cyber threat warning information, and coordinating incident response activities.

Challenge: Lack of awareness about best practices and criticality of cybersecurity in industrial control systems

The industrial sector implements modern security technologies to prevent cyberattacks, but attackers develop new techniques and procedures to infiltrate these technologies. Investments in security defense and detection technologies help develop effective defense strategies; however, human errors are one of the key reasons for most breaches. These errors take place due to the lack of awareness among employees, which is putting the industrial sector at risk. Advanced cyber threats that are diverse in nature target particular vulnerabilities in networks and use these vulnerabilities to get an entry into enterprise networks. Advanced cyber threats have significantly increased over the last few years and have become a major security concern for the industrial sector.

In addition to implementing appropriate hardware and software-based protection tools, employee training should also be considered equally critical to completely secure industrial facilities from cyberattacks or cyber threats. Every employee who is a part of an organization poses a threat to the security in case of non-awareness of the associated risks. This makes cybersecurity training a critical factor for professionals to understand, identify, and avoid future threats before escalation. Training will also allow the workforce to practice safe business duties at the workplace. The figure provided below indicates some most sophisticated attacks on the ICS network.
