CYBERSECURITY MARKET OVERVIEW

A MASSIVE $124 BILLION MARKET OPPORTUNITY CYBERSECURITY IS NOW ONE OF THE LARGEST TECHNOLOGY CATEGORIES BUT THE MARKET REMAINS HIGHLY FRAGMENTED
($bn) 11% CAGR
124 114
Consumer Security Software (+5.8%)
102
Security Services (+10.8%) Other Information Security Software (+11.7%)
▪ Services (subscription and managed) represent 50% of total market spend
Network Security Equipment (+10.5%)
▪ Widely publicised data breaches comprising millions of personal data records highlight importance of protecting sensitive data assets
Integrated Risk Management (+9.2%) Infrastructure Protection (+10.4%) Identity Access Management (+9.5%)
Data Security (+17.3%) Cloud Security (+57.5%) Application Security (+11.1%)
2017
2018
2019
▪ According to Gartner, worldwide spending on cybersecurity is predicted to reach over $124bn in 2019 (CAGR of 10.6% 2017-2019)
▪ Nation-state level attacks drive the demand for protection of mission-critical IT infrastructure ▪ Security and risk management have become a top board-level priority and are increasingly regarded as a competitive differentiator ▪ Market remains highly fragmented: with app. 2,500 vendors and a large amount of VC funding creating new companies, consolidation is accelerating Source(s): Gartner 2018; Note: percentage represents CAGR 2017-2019

MARKET SPEND DRIVEN BY A CONTINUOUS ARMS RACE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD MAJOR NON-CYCLICAL TRENDS ARE SHAPING THE RAPIDLY ADVANCING CYBERSECURITY LANDSCAPE
THREAT SOPHISTICATION ▪ Increasing frequency and complexity of attacks from a constantly evolving threat landscape ▪ Continuous responsiveness required through deployment of behavioural analytics and ML, complementing traditional/legacy security solutions ▪ Need for ‘Defence in Depth’ covering technology, operations and people
REGULATION ▪ Compliance with regulatory requirements such as the EU’s GDPR(1) or California’s CCPA(2) and adaptation of projects and workflows to assure data privacy ▪ Security solutions need to be capable to deliver compliance and protection at the same time
END-POINT PROLIFERATION ▪ Extensive use of cloud applications by a mobile-first workforce increases the attack vectors and vulnerabilities ▪ Organisations are moving from perimeter protection to ‘Zero Trust’ as the new industry standard ▪ Exponential growth in connected low security IoT devices is adding to an increasingly complex attack surface
EXPLOSIVE DATA GROWTH ▪ Data creation doubles in size approximately every two years with a plethora of confidential and sensitive data stored in many disparate silos ▪ Privacy concerns, data loss prevention and data breach awareness continue to drive market demand for security solutions
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ▪ New architectures and computing models are creating fresh opportunities to exploit (Cloud, Containers, Dev Opps, OSS) ▪ Cloud now the preferred delivery model for enterprise applications ▪ Shift to multi-cloud infrastructure is accelerating and driving demand for vendor agnostic security solutions
PERSISTING SKILLS SHORTAGE ▪ Highly competitive labour market for cyber talent: unemployment rate for cybersecurity professionals at zero ▪ Organisations increasingly invest in automation and orchestration to address cybersecurity tasks ▪ Outsourcing to specialised services providers (MSSPs) rather than onpremise deployment is accelerating
Note(s): (1) GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation; (2) CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act
