Defense Cyber Security Market Size - Global Opportunities and Trends Analysis Report 2018-2028

Presently, cyber threats are more persistent, smarter, and concentrated on high-value assets, which have increased the demand for a strong and high-tech cyber security system for defense industry. Furthermore, the growing risk of the cyber threat to critical infrastructures by criminal organizations and the technological enhancement in the cyber security industry is the major driving factor in its increased utilization throughout defense organizations.

A more connected defense & intelligence world would ensure that the soldiers get information with precision and in less time. But increased connectivity also means more ways for cyberattacks, data leaks, and other breaches in IT (information & technology) security. This remains the issue at the crux of modern cybersecurity problems. However, technological developments would give organizations more techniques and tools to protect themselves from any significant cyberattack on their networks. Various cybersecurity companies are introducing new and enhanced products which can aid cybersecurity professionals in defending legacy and cloud networks, which can help the defense forces to work soundly while keeping their networks safe.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Organizations are speeding up their digital transformation and cyber security as much of the work starts to get online. With this, the operational, legal, reputational, and compliance implications would be significant if the cybersecurity risk is neglected. Out of these organizations, defense is among the topmost sector to adopt cyber security solutions to safeguard their confidential data from cyberattacks. Many governments have increased funding for adopting cyber security in the military, which aids the government & military in blocking any upcoming threats and sharing intelligence about the cyber activity. The defense’s increasing adoption of cyber security to secure their database and information has propelled the market growth during the pandemic.

Market Growth Factors

Rising IT expenditure for defense

Defense IT expenses are on the surge across many developed nations. The growth of IT software, hardware, and services has implemented several changes in the defense sector, including live combat surveillance, superiority in air & space, smart weapons and battlefield management in network-centric environments, and force multipliers-related software. In addition, implementing IT solutions has become significant in defense operations due to the increasing evolution in the type and occurrence of attacks globally.

The rapidly increasing usage of autonomous aircraft

The rising number of artificial intelligence applications in aircraft may require reliable and high-tech defence cyber security solutions. New technological advancements like the maintenance capability are used to defend the aircraft's onboard systems from cyber-attacks. These new systems aid in increasing the aircraft defence against cyber threats and give the flight-critical abilities to verify and install multiple software and mission data files onto the aircraft. This development of autonomous aircraft to protect them from cyberattack and ensures their proper operation while being efficient by the military is expected to boost the defence cybersecurity market's growth.

Market Restraining Factor

Less awareness regarding cybersecurity

Against any intrusion by offenders, criminals, or antagonistic countries, the government workforce is the first line of defence. The internet has made it easier for the antagonist to attack any department, municipality, agency, or department of any nation. Nations with IT technology are easily targeted for malware infections or ransomware attacks. That is why attacker targets under-prepared government bureaucrats with malware, email phishing scams, or stolen passwords to enter and steal confidential government data or lock up critical systems needed for the services and operations. For instance, phishing scams utilize fake emails or text messages to lure individuals into clicking on sketchy website links to steal personal information.

Deployment Outlook

By deployment, the defense cyber security market is classified into on-premises and cloud. The cloud segment projected a prominent growth rate in the defense cybersecurity market in 2021. This is because cloud-based technology operates on remote system servers over the internet, which don’t require any dedicated server specialist for maintenance. The cloud-managed services are generally available as SaaS (security as a service) models with annual or monthly charges. These charges cover the monitoring, supervision of network servers, cloud storage for all data, backup recovery, system optimization, etc.

Type Outlook

On the basis of type, the defense cyber security market is divided into endpoint security, network security and content security. The endpoint security segment held the highest revenue share in the defense cyber security market in 2021. The growth is due to the increasing usage of behavioral and automation analysis for threat detection. These solutions are considered to be an essential asset of the defense sector. Also, many key players have started to invest heavily in these solutions. Hence, the rising investments, with the growing amount of data across different verticals within the defense sector have surged the segment’s market expansion in the forecasted period.

Offering Outlook

Based on offering, the defense cyber security market is bifurcated into solutions and services. The services segment held the highest revenue share in the defense cyber security market in 2021. This is due to their assistance in identifying vulnerabilities, ensuring security, and closing protection gaps, which work efficiently to prevent any cyber breach. With cyber security, organizations attain a synergistic balance from all three facets of defense in depth strategy, which are operation, people, and technology. This would support the market expansion in this segment.

Application Outlook

Based on application, the defense cyber security market is segmented into military, public utilities, communication networks and others. The military segment dominated the defense cyber security market with the maximum revenue share in 2021. This is because various defense groups can only operate efficiently if the information is shared securely. Using cyber security systems, the military can send messages, media, reports, and broadcasts while also being able to make secure calls. As a result, security officers may access needed information securely.
