The global cybersecurity indfustry has been growing exponentially over the past years and is expected to continue to expand more for the coming years.
According to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. , the global size of the market is expected to reach USD $326.4 billion by 2027, recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0% from 2020 to 2027.
The global scenario sees an increased number of cyberattacks across networks, endpoints, and applications. These impact organizations in terms of losses of sensitive data and costs associated. The increased usage of Artificial Intelligence, 5G & future communications network, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing environment for improved data sharing and storage, and digital business transformation processes (with public services, e-government, and digital citizenship sector indicated as the most relevant sector to suffer threats) increase the possibilities of cyber espionage and other breaches.
Criminals have also used the COVID-19 crisis to carry out social engineering attacks, namely phishing emails through spam campaigns and more targeted attempts such as business email compromise (BEC).
The size of these cyber threats require every business to secure their networks, protect their data, and enhance their systems to detect threats in advance.
In addition, the advancement of digital file-sharing platforms, the blockchain technology, new online payment transaction models, as well as digital collaboration and marketing tools enable the players to further expand. But the above technologies increase the potential risk factors for threats given the high volume flow of user traffic that shares sensitive data (such as transaction info, demo, and psychographic information across the web).
Given the above, which are the main tech companies operating in the industry today?
Among private companies, ScienceSoft is a US-headquartered provider of IT consulting services and custom software development. It’s a vendor for custom and platform-based development in the areas of CRM, Data Analysis, Collaboration & Knowledge Management and Information Security. It is a partner of IBM, Microsoft, Magento, ServiceNow and Oracle.
