The global information security software market grew 12.7% over the year to $162.12 billion

At the end of 2023, the global market for information security software and related services reached $162.12 billion. This is 12.7% more than in the previous year, when costs were estimated at $143.9 billion. In the future, information security costs on a global scale will continue to increase, which is also associated with the rapid introduction of artificial intelligence. This is stated in a study by Gartner, the results of which were published on August 28, 2024.

In 2023, the largest revenue in the market under consideration was brought by software for ensuring security and system protection - $76.57 billion. Growth in this area on an annualized basis was recorded at 13.6%. In second place in terms of contribution to total costs were information security services with a result of $65.56 billion and an increase of 13.6% compared to 2022. Next comes funds for organizing network security with $19.99 billion and an increase of 6.2% year-on-year.

The review notes that AI tools, including generative (GeniI), have a significant impact on the industry. On the one hand, Genia helps attackers automate many processes, including organizing phishing mailings and writing malicious software code. On the other hand, AI increases the efficiency of threat detection, as well as simplifies incident analysis. It becomes possible to form easy-to-read reports and presentations that analysts can use to help others in the organization understand what is happening. The geneAI is able to answer questions about an incident or vulnerability in natural language or in graphic form. In addition, AI can make recommendations for improving protective equipment. AI helps to collect huge amounts of information, analyze it at high speed and record anomalies. This automation reduces the burden on employees who are relieved of boring and monotonous work, getting the opportunity to focus on more important tasks.

As organizations continue to move to the cloud, the number of information security solutions developed for such environments is increasing. At the same time, the Gartner study notes, the global shortage of qualified personnel in the field of cybersecurity is the main factor stimulating investment in the services segment: these are consulting services, professional security services and managed services. This market is expected to grow faster than other segments of the information security industry.

According to analysts, by the end of 2024, global costs for information security software and related services will reach $183.87 billion. This will correspond to an increase of 13.4% compared to 2023. The total amount of spending on software will amount to $87.48 billion, and the increase compared to 2023 will be 14.2%. Another $74.48 billion will be provided by information security services with an increase of 13.6% on an annualized basis. Sales of funds for organizing network security are expected at $21.91 - plus 9.6% year-on-year. In 2025, the volume of the global information security industry, according to Gartner experts, will rise to $211.55 billion.[1]

Global cybersecurity services market up 12% to $250.66 billion for the year

At the end of 2023, the global market for cybersecurity services reached $250.66 billion. For comparison, a year earlier, the costs in this area amounted to approximately $222.62 billion. Growth was recorded at 12.6%. Some of the main drivers of increased spending are the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the introduction of cloud technologies. This is stated in a study by Market Research Future, the results of which were released in mid-July 2024.

Analysts note that the increase in information security (information security) costs is directly related to an increase in the intensity of cyber attacks. Most of them are carried out for financial gain. At the same time, ransomware programs such as WannaCry, Petya, NotPetya and BadRabbit are actively used. Positive Technologies estimates that medical organizations accounted for the most ransomware attacks in 2023 - about 18% of the total number of such incidents. In addition, the list of industries most attacked by ransomware includes organizations from the field of science and education (14%), government agencies (12%) and industrial enterprises (12%). Most ransomware was distributed by e-mail (62%) and by compromising computers and servers (35%). Ransomware payments in 2023 exceeded $1 billion, the highest on record.

The consequences of cyber attacks, in addition to financial losses, are often leaks of personal information, as well as the inaccessibility of municipal facilities and various services. It is estimated that in 2023, identity theft was identified in 45% of successful attacks on organizations. In addition, attackers steal information constituting trade secrets (19% of attacks), credentials (11%) and medical information (10%). Cybercriminals use stolen data sets for blackmail or put them up for sale on the Internet. In such a situation, companies and organizations around the world are forced to increase budgets for cybersecurity.

Artificial intelligence technologies have a significant impact on the development of the global information security market. On the one hand, such tools can improve the efficiency of detecting threats and identifying vulnerabilities in software. But, on the other hand, cybercriminals are adopting AI tools. Attacks AI using can be carried out faster and target more victims than conventional cyber attacks. In addition, AI allows attackers to identify weaknesses in the IT infrastructure of potential victims. AI improves the basic tools of hackers and provides them with completely new means of hacking. Plus, attackers are able to organize more sophisticated schemes, for example, conduct deeply personalized phishing campaigns. To counter such attacks, organizations have to introduce new defense mechanisms, also based on AI. The main advantage of AI is the ability to quickly analyze huge amounts of information, identify anomalies and block suspicious actions. In addition, AI is able to learn from the experience gained, which increases the effectiveness of countering threats over time.

Market Research Future analysts divide the global cybersecurity services industry into professional and managed services. The first group includes system integration, penetration testing, training, consulting, support, maintenance, etc. The second category includes managing vulnerabilities, incidents, security events, etc. According to estimates, in 2023, the bulk of the costs in the market under consideration fell on professional services - approximately $188 billion. Growth factors are the increasing need for effective data management, the need to protect against information loss in the event of a hack, and the desire of companies to minimize possible costs.

The leading players in the industry include, Accenture,, CrowdStrike,, AT&T,, Atos SE,,,, etc Deloitte Rapid7 DXC Technology. From a Capgemini Cisco IBM regional point of view, the largest market for cybersecurity services in 2023 was. Her contribution to North America total costs amounted to approximately $101.98 billion. Many large companies specializing in information security solutions work here. In addition, various government initiatives are actively being implemented to improve the level of cybersecurity in the industrial sector. In second place in terms of expenses for information security services is where Europe new technologies are actively being introduced. The Asia-Pacific region closes the top three, showing the fastest growth rates. This can be attributed to the proliferation of devices and the rapid Internet of Things increase in the number of data centers.

It is noted that the leading players in the global market invest significantly in research and development in order to expand the range of products and improve the quality of services provided. Market Research Future analysts believe that in the future, the CAGR (CAGR in complex percentages) in the cybersecurity services sector will be 12.6%. As a result, by 2032 the volume of the industry will reach $647.74 billion.[2]

Market growth by 15.6% to $106.8 billion

In 2023, the global market for information security products (IS) reached $106.8 billion. This is 15.6% more compared to 2022, when the costs in this area were estimated at $92.4 billion. Such data are provided in the IDC review published on June 7, 2024.

IDC considers solutions in six main categories: Network Security, Endpoint Security, Security Analytics, Identity and Access Management, Information and Data Security, and Cloud-Centric Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP). In 2023, an increase of double-digit percent was recorded in all of the listed areas.

Then come endpoint security software with 14.4%, as well as web security and email security software with 14.3%. Data security accounted for 3.2%.[4]

The global market for information security services by 2025 will reach a volume of $94 billion

According to Accenture, the global cybersecurity services market will grow by 13% per year and reach $94 billion by 2025. The company announced this on February 4, 2022. The main areas of development will be cybersecurity as a service and automation of information security operations, special attention will be paid to the protection of critical infrastructure and applications.

According to Accenture, the increase in cybersecurity spending is due to various factors, in particular a constant increase in volume. malware The methods of intruders are constantly evolving. Services hackers become more accessible and are often used as a means of competition or easy earning, leading to the formation of the Cybercrime-as-a-Service model (as a cybercrime service).

The dependence of business ecosystems on the stable operation of the digital infrastructure makes companies extremely vulnerable to information security threats. The effectiveness of attacks is growing, as cybercriminals are armed with digital technologies, including ML/AI solutions.

A symmetrical response to the use of fraudsters AI will be the development of solutions using/for MLAI the protection of networks, data endpoints, access,,, etc applications. clouds According to forecasts, the segment of information security solutions using AI by 2027 may amount to $46 billion.

Companies still have many bottlenecks in building information protection. Thus, attacks are carried out comprehensively - on ecosystems and supply chains - and they have to be resisted in an organized manner together with partners.

Large-scale digitalization of the economy requires a lightning-fast time-to-market: as a result, many applications and solutions go into production in a "raw" unsafe form.

File:Aquote1.png
A number of applications enter the market with a large number of vulnerabilities, and they are not always fixed quickly. Together with "holes" in infrastructure and security tools, their presence seriously increases information security risks for companies, "said Andrei Tymoshenko, head of Accenture's information security practice in Russia.
File:Aquote2.png

As a result, the pace of digital transformation is ahead of the development of information security. The lack of specialists also affects: there are about 3.5 million open vacancies for information security specialists in the world.

The answer to these challenges will be the development of the "Security-as-a-service" model - this model allows you to quickly solve urgent problems even in conditions of a shortage of personnel. Also, to implement comprehensive information security strategies and protect business ecosystems, joint cyber centers will be created - Cyber ​ ​ Fusion Center, uniting competencies in IT, information security, risks, compliance, economic security and various business areas at one table to quickly respond to digital risks and threats.

Analytics tools will be used more and more actively in the field of information security: this will make it possible to more effectively find bottlenecks in the IT infrastructure, faster anticipate attacks and more accurately rank risks.

Cyber ​ ​ Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting and Anomaly Detection tools are developing. To test hypotheses, test the reliability of the infrastructure and increase the efficiency of detecting and predicting cyber attacks, various options for cyber wars of the company's IT and information security infrastructure and systems will be created.

The demand for services for the development of information security competencies will grow, including conducting cyber exercises and cyber polygons, raising awareness, developing knowledge and skills of users in the field of information security. This also applies to remote security tools: infrastructure, remote connectivity and clouds.

File:Aquote1.png
In the mass market, the growth of cybercrime is also facilitated by the spread fake information and penetration of remote identifications into different areas of life. There are also many problems to be solved here, in particular - the use biometric of information, this will become a separate and promising direction, - concluded Andrey Tymoshenko.

List of key security trends

The list of key security trends in 2022 was prepared by Hikvision specialists. This became known on January 19, 2022.

In 2022, the security industry will continue its development, despite social and economic factors that have had the strongest impact on the business and the market as a whole. In addition to traditional physical security, large and small businesses quickly master and implement high-tech solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and the Internet of Things, special attention is paid to ensuring cyber protection of systems and data. The security sector is gradually moving to a wider range of products and services that not only provide protection, but also work to improve business efficiency, create additional value both for individual users and for companies, for society and the state.

Hikvision (hikvision.ru) specialists have prepared a list of key trends that will have a significant impact on the security industry in 2022 and in the near future.

Trend# 1. Artificial intelligence everywhere and in everything

Artificial intelligence has been used in security systems for a long time, and every year the number of both users and smart solution providers will grow rapidly. An increasing number of security market participants are aware of the value of AI applications and functions, and are finding new areas and scenarios of application.

Trend# 2. The combination of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things

The number of security devices connected to the network is growing rapidly, which are becoming an important part of the Internet of Things (IoT) segment. Devices are receiving an increasing number of smart functions, developing AIoT directions in the market - intelligent devices connected to the network. The combination of AI and IoT takes the entire security sphere to a whole new level, expanding the available functionality and contributing to the digital transformation of industry verticals, including power, logistics, retail, education, healthcare and others.

Trend# 3. Converged Systems as a Replacement for Traditional Data Warehouses

In the field of security, the trend continues to unite individual systems - video surveillance, access control, alarm and others. Additional solutions that are not directly related to security are connected to the same infrastructure - personnel management, finance, logistics, corporate platforms. Convergence expands opportunities for collaboration, helping to make strategic decisions more efficiently and quickly based on more data and the results of their analysis.

Trend# 4. Cloud Solutions and Services

Like artificial intelligence, cloud technology is nothing new in security. It is worth highlighting the development of the direction of cloud services and the creation of additional value for security service providers - installation organizations and service companies, for which cloud applications create an additional business tool for remotely configuring user systems, solving technical problems, and updating software.

Trend# 5. High image detail in any environment as a new industry standard

The number of requests for cameras with technologies for generating full-color and detailed images in difficult security environments is growing rapidly. As a company with worldwide experience, Hikvision sees a significant increase in demand for highly sensitive 4K solutions in the market. If initially the technologies were designed only for cameras with a fixed lens, then over the past year they appeared in the lines of cameras with a variophocal lens.

Trend# 6. Biometric technologies for access control

The January 2022 segment of access control systems is still undergoing a transition period, but the trend towards biometric technologies is increasingly clearly visible. The market offers a large set of biometric identification solutions: facial recognition, fingerprint, palm, vein pattern, retina. The main advantage of biometrics is the high level of reliability and accuracy of recognition.

Trend# 7. Security systems begin to use the Zero Trust model: minimum trust, maximum checks

The more devices that connect to the network, the more relevant the issue of cybersecurity becomes. The strategic initiative of Zero Trust or "zero trust" is based on the postulate "never trust and always check" and is aimed at preventing data leaks, increasing the level of security of modern information systems. Initially, the concept was adopted in the IT industry, but now its approaches are also applied in the field of physical security as security devices become an important part of the IoT direction.

Trend# 8. Growth in demand for green production and green technologies

The world has embraced the trend for environmentally friendly materials and energy efficient technologies. There is a growing demand for devices equipped with solar panels, including security devices. Demand is driving engineers to create increasingly complex and yet greener systems that are powered by sunlight and can be applied not only in urban areas, but also in remote areas where there are infrastructure difficulties.

2021

Cybersecurity market reaches $162.9 billion

The global cybersecurity market in 2021 reached $162.9 billion. Such data were published by Astute Analytica analysts at the end of January 2022.

The cloud security segment holds the highest market share with over 30% in 2021 as cloud solutions provide accurate recovery of information and applications. Growing demand for cloud security and hybrid cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure, among other key platforms, presents great opportunities for the global cybersecurity market to grow. As more organizations use cloud security to support work environments both in the office and at home, it receives a significant positive response in the market.

Cybersecurity market reaches $162.9 billion in 2021

In 2021, the North American cybersecurity market held the highest market share of about 35%, supported by key market players in the region who deliver cutting-edge solutions around the world, according to an Astute Analytica report. North America is followed by Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, which account for about 51% of the combined market share in 2021.

Major players in the cybersecurity market are Cisco, IBM, Trend Micro and Palo Alto, which account for about 41.60% of the market, with the rest owned by other local players around the world.

The size of the global cybersecurity market is expected to expand depending on various factors, such as the growing demand for data and information protection worldwide, the growing number of cybercrimes. According to one of the partners Interpol from the private sector, between January and April 2020, 907,000 spam reports, 737 incidents related to malware and ON 48,000 malicious URL addresses were found. In addition, the growing number of users Internet contributes to the growth of the cybersecurity industry around the world.

At the end of 2019, a little more than half of the world's population used the Internet, but among young people (aged 15-24 years) this share increased to more than 69%. In addition, increased use of mobile phones, improved Internet connectivity, and machine-to-machine (M2M) interaction require high data security, which in turn should also increase market demand for cybersecurity.[5]

Cloud solutions account for 41% of the global information security market

In 2021, the global market for products and cloud services for information security amounted to $32 billion against $30 billion a year earlier. The share of the cloud services segment (SECaaS, security as a service) during this time increased from 34% to 41%, the analytical company J'son & Partners Consulting reported on January 10, 2022.

In the consumption structure of security products provided according to the traditional model, the main contribution is given by subscriptions to advanced functionality, and cyber security not hardware sales, which brings the traditional model closer to the cloud in terms of monetization principles.

At the same time, the cloud segment is growing faster than the entire global information security market, which is largely facilitated by the following factors:

  • Rapid growth of cloud application users and migration of business-critical applications back-end to public and hybrid clouds
  • a rapid rise in the share of encrypted traffic in the WAN, which complicates its inspection;
  • adaptive cyber attacks and a large number of events generated by various cybersecurity functions, and, as a result, the need to implement deep real-time analytics on these events and develop an adequate response to attacks, which is possible only using public clouds;
  • low penetration of modern cybersecurity tools as a limitation of the traditional model of providing cybersecurity functions.

As for the barriers to the cloud segment, analysts include them:

  • concentration of the lion's share of corporate data "on the edge" - on corporate user devices and in corporate data centers;
  • presence of a significant fleet of installed hardware and software systems, the penetration of which is especially high (close to 100%) in large enterprises and organizations;
  • the high unit cost of security functions provided under the SECaaS model, which restrains their penetration into the segment of small and micro-enterprises, where this model is most in demand and has practically no competition from already installed hardware and software systems;
  • smaller nomenclature of functions available in the cloud model relative to the on-premium model.

According to the researchers, the factors restraining the development of the global SECaaS market are significantly weaker than growth drivers, and basically represent the "childhood diseases" of the emerging SECaaS market.

In their work, the experts considered segments such as inter-network screens, unified threat management (UTM), URL filtering, web application protection functions, data leakage prevention, VPN gateways, Security Operation Center (SOC) technologies, etc.

It is noted that the development of a cloud model for providing cybersecurity functions leads to the fact that three main types of suppliers are formed on the global market:

Market volume growth of 66% to $202 billion - Accenture

Accenture According to a September 2019 estimate, the services market is cyber security growing at a pace similar to Digital and markets. IT Accenture predicts that by 2021 the volume will of the global information security market increase by 66% and amount to $202 billion. More. here

2020

Information security spending up 6.4% to $133.78 billion - Gartner

Global spending on Integrated information security risk management (IRM) systems in 2020 reached $133.78 billion, which is 6.4% more than a year earlier. This is evidenced by the data of analysts. Gartner

According to them, the "high growth rates" of the information security market reflect the continued demand for technologies for remote work and cloud security.

Companies are still trying to meet security and regulatory requirements with public cloud services software provided as a service and [SaaS - approx.], TAdviser Says Lawrence Pingree, Managing Vice President of Research at Gartner. - If we talk about the future, then we see the first signals of the market in the direction of increasing automation and further introduction of technologies and. machine learning artificial intelligence Organizations attacks will expand and standardize threat detection and response to combat threats.
File:Aquote2.png

According to a Gartner survey, the top priority in new spending is: cyber security 61% of more than 2,000 Chief information officers surveyed decided to increase investment in information security.

In 2020, information security costs reached $133.78 billion

Security services, including consulting, equipment support, implementation and outsourcing, represent the largest spending category in 2020, estimated at more than $65 billion. In second place are infrastructure protection costs, recorded at $20.5 billion.

The third largest spending item for companies in the field of cyber defense is network security equipment. A little more than $15.6 billion was spent on it in 2020. Gartner also points to $12 billion in spending on identity and access control systems.

Sales of software for protecting consumer devices in 2020 are estimated at $6.51 billion. The implementation of data protection solutions amounted to $2.98 billion, and the smallest but fastest growing category was cloud security technologies, the cost of which in 2020 amounted to $595 million.

Gartner analysts among the most promising developments in the field of cloud information security distinguish three technologies: SASE, CSPM and CASB.

Use Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions to manage hybrid and multi-cloud environments that protect and monitor solution collaboration from multiple IaaS or PaaS vendors (including access control, compliance policies, operational monitoring, incident response, risk identification and visualization, and asset inventory and classification).

Information Security Costs

In turn, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solutions are designed to protect data in cloud applications: they are placed "between" consumers and cloud service providers and serve to ensure uniform enterprise security policies when accessing cloud resources.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) combines cloud services, software-defined networking capabilities, and security into a single service model.

The study notes that the segment of cyber risk management technologies in 2020 showed steady growth due to the risks associated with the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Investments in information security startups reached $7.8 billion

Investment in cybersecurity startups reached a record high of $7.8 billion in 2020. The growth was primarily caused by US activity - investments in the sector increased by 22% in 2020 compared to 2019. By comparison, the total amount of venture capital investment over the same period was 15%. The United States accounted for 76% of all global cybersecurity funding in 2020, which is $5.9 billion, according to Crunchbase data.

Unlike the overall venture capital market, 39% of cybersecurity project funding was directed to start-ups in the early stages of development. Globally, this figure has grown to 45%.

Geographic diversity is not impressive, Crunchbase reported, as the U.S. and Israel combined accounted for nearly 90% of all venture capital funding for cybersecurity companies in 2020.

The volume of venture capital investment in cybersecurity startups (USA, Great Britain, Israel, etc.)

The UK accounted for just over 3% ($262 million) of venture capital investments in cybersecurity in 2020, mainly thanks to a $80 million Series C round for Privitar, which develops solutions to preserve data privacy.

The Crunchbase report says that in 2020 there were six new unicorn companies in the field of cybersecurity, that is, startups with an estimate of more than $1 billion, which is the highest figure ever. Five companies are based in the United States, another, Cato Networks, is based in Israel. In 2021, by April, the number of new unicorn companies in the cybersecurity sector had already reached nine.

Salesforce Ventures managing director Robert Keith noted that the cybersecurity industry is reaching new heights for several reasons. According to Keith, companies have changed the way they work and communicate with customers and employees, which required new data protection solutions and startups that can provide such products.

Keith argues that platforms and tools that help with collaboration and email protection, video conferencing and messaging should continue to be of interest to investors.[8]

Growth in cybersecurity spending by 10%, to $53 billion - Canalys

In 2020, companies around the world invested about $53 billion in information security (information security), which is 10% more than a year earlier. Such data led to the research company Canalys.

They noted that in terms of growth rates, information security solutions were ahead of many other segments of the IT industry. Only sales of cloud products (+ 20%) and services for building a cloud infrastructure increased more strongly, which is associated with a surge in demand for such solutions in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Companies have begun to spend more money on cybersecurity amid growing data breaches. In 2020, according to Canalys estimates, the business lost more than 30 billion records from its databases, which is twice the volume of leaks in 2019. At the same time, the average size of the leak on a global scale increased from 81 million to 101 million records.

Cybersecurity should be the focus of digital plans, otherwise there will be a massive disappearance of companies, which will jeopardize the economic recovery after COVID-19, says Canalys lead analyst Matthew Ball. - Declining attention to cybersecurity already has serious consequences, escalating the current data breach crisis and accelerating. attacks viruses extortioners
File:Aquote2.png

The study notes that the ransomware attacks in 2020 had tragic consequences, since medical institutions were deliberately attacked with their help. Several prominent organizations ceased operations in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and surviving companies had to quickly adapt to new working conditions. This often happened to the detriment of cybersecurity and bypassing long-standing corporate policies, as a result of which many organizations were attacked by highly organized and sophisticated hackers.

According to experts, due to inattention and low digital literacy, employees go through phishing links, use unsafe passwords, try to fight ransomware viruses on their own - for example, they pay blackmail attackers to provide keys to decrypt data that they usually do not receive anyway.

2005-2020 Data Breach Volume

Experts say that on the one hand, internal violators have intensified, who felt that in the digital era, data has become a liquid commodity on the black market and can be earned on it. On the other hand, cases of illegal use of personal information, including for fraudulent purposes, began to be identified more often due to the development of corporate security systems and the active work of relevant services.

A significant share of information theft this year is associated with the coronavirus pandemic - dozens of cases of data leaks of patients with COVID-19, contact persons, violators of the self-isolation regime and tourists who returned from abroad during the epidemic were recorded.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced people to stay at home and make more purchases through, and Internet business owners to urgently establish or expand online sales. At the same time, many retailers were not ready for such a rapid development of events and did not have the opportunity to qualitatively prepare the infrastructure for ensuring the safety of personal data.

Network security remained the largest segment of the information security market - it accounted for 36% of the total amount of information security expenses in 2020. At the same time, there was a decline in this direction, which Canalys associates with a change in priorities. Purchases of traditional network security hardware are fading into the background, as organizations need to increase the cost of cyber protection against new vulnerabilities arising from the dispersal of personnel who have switched to remote work.[9]

2019

Global information security market reaches $120 billion

The global information security hardware, software and services market reached $119.9 billion in 2019, P&S Intelligence analysts calculated. According to them, sales of such solutions increased, but experts did not name the dynamics.

The rise of the market in P&S Intelligence is associated with a rapid increase in the volume of data in the business environment, the spread of cyber attacks and data leaks, as well as the demand for solutions for ensuring a high level of information security.

In addition, the sale of information security technologies is stimulated by the development of equipment for the Internet of Things and other "smart" tasks, the growing market for Internet commerce and changing regulation in the field of data.

Global information security market reaches $120 billion

There are also factors that hinder the market: a lack of highly qualified specialists and due diligence in the field of information security, as well as risks associated with data protection in the cloud and the Internet of Things. Another problem is that big data security is not considered by the company as a comprehensive measure, especially among representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, the study says.

The following companies were named the leaders of the information security market by analysts:

According to experts, in 2019 there was a surge in information security costs in healthcare, and this trend will continue in the future. There are several reasons: the desire of medical institutions to provide better patient care, compliance with government requirements, the use of cloud software, the introduction of tools for remote control of patients and the use of advanced IT solutions, including the Internet of Things and machine learning.[10]

Market size - $120.93 billion; half occupied by services

The volume of the global market for solutions for information security (information security) and cyber risk management in 2019 reached $120.93 billion, according to data from the analytical company Gartner.

More than half of the market falls on information security services, global spending on which in 2019 amounted to $61.98 billion. The second largest category is technology to protect infrastructure: their annual sales were $16.52 billion.

Approximately $13.39 billion was spent on equipment designed to provide cyber protection for networks. Sales of consumer information security software in 2019 reached $6.25 billion,  Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions - $9.84 billion.

Information Security Market Segment Size, Gartner Data

The study also talks about sales of funds for protecting applications and data in the amount of $3.1 billion and $2.66 billion, respectively. Global spending on cloud security tools amounted to $439 million, and spending on risk management solutions reached $4.56 billion.

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic began to affect the information security market in the first months of 2020. At the same time, experts say that the expansion of the use of cloud technologies and subscription services favors some segments of the information security market. About 12% of information security projects implemented in 2019 were built on cloud computing. At the same time, approximately 50% of products were transferred to the cloud delivery model, including email services and firewalls.

According to the researchers, the cloud delivery model is attractive for both information security software developers and end users. The appeal of this model is achieved mainly by potentially increasing transparency, using more flexible business models and subjective ease of operation. However, the availability of these benefits largely depends on the ability of software publishers to effectively monitor and control their applications - using automated procedures and maintaining high operational efficiency.

All this indicates that the introduction of effective licensing and rights management methods is becoming the main factor in the success of monetizing security software in the cloud. For software publishers moving to the cloud model, that is, working in hybrid mode, the presence of a platform that supports application delivery both using the traditional model and in the cloud is an absolute prerequisite, the study says.

As for the negative consequences of the COVID-19 coronavirus, they most strongly affect sales of network security equipment, including firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS).

Half of the information security market in 2019 was occupied by services

According to analysts, until 2019, the information security market grew more rapidly, and several factors contributed to this. Among them are a growing number of cyber threats, raising awareness of information security protection and market regulation.

In addition, the growing global economy provided companies with the financial opportunities to invest in new digital processes and security needed to strengthen businesses. However, after the outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19, the global economy was severely undermined, the cybersecurity market was also affected.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the commercial and public sectors have begun to cut costs, including information security. According to analysts, information security budgets will be reduced and frozen, the timing and cost of implementing these projects will increase, but risks will also increase.[11]

Investments in information security companies fell 23% to $5 billion

According to the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), in 2019, investments in information security startups amounted to $5 billion, while in 2018 the figure was $6.5 billion. We are talking about investments in companies that are engaged only in cybersecurity and do not develop other technologies.

As reported in the report, venture investors are investing in a variety of computer security technologies - from platforms to pay premiums for detecting vulnerabilities in programs to diagnostics and automated program testing. But they are most attracted by authentication and identity management technologies - about $900 million was invested in startups engaged in these technologies at the end of 2019.

National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), 2019 investment in information security startups

Investments in information security training startups reached $418 million in 2019, which was largely facilitated by KnowBe4, which raised $300 million. This startup offers a platform for simulating phishing attacks and a number of training programs.

About $412 million in 2019 was received by companies involved in the security of the Internet of things. SentinelOne is the leader in this category in terms of investment, which in 2019 received $120 million for the development of endpoint protection technologies.

At the same time, Metacurity analysts provide other data characterizing the situation in the venture financing market in the information security sector. In 2019, the volume of investments here reached $6.57 billion, increasing from $3.88 billion in 2018. The number of transactions also increased - from 133 to 219. At the same time, the average volume of investments in per transaction practically did not change and amounted to 29.2 million at the end of 2019, according to Metacurity.[12]

2018

Up 9% to $37bn - Canalys

In 2018, sales of equipment software and services intended for (information security information security) reached $37 billion, an increase of 9% compared to a year ago ($34 billion). Such data were released by analysts on March 28, 2019. Canalys

While many companies prioritize protecting their assets, data, endpoints, networks, employees and customers, cybersecurity accounted for only 2% of total IT spending in 2018, they said. However, more and more new threats are emerging, they are becoming more complex and more frequent, which provides manufacturers of information security solutions with new opportunities for growth. It is expected that in 2020, total cybersecurity spending will exceed $42 billion.

Canalys analyst Matthew Ball believes that the transition to new models for implementing information security will accelerate. Customers are changing the nature of their IT budgets using public cloud services and flexible subscription-based services.

Categories of information security products with the highest expenses, Canalys data

About 82% of information security deployment projects in 2018 were related to the use of traditional hardware and software. In the remaining 18% of cases, virtualization, public clouds and information security services were used.

By 2020, the share of traditional models for deploying information security systems will decrease to 70%, as new solutions are gaining popularity on the market.

File:Aquote1.png
Vendors will need to create a wide range of business models to support this transition, as different products are suitable for different types of deployments. The main challenge today for many is to make the new models more partner channel oriented and integrate them with existing partner programs, especially with customer operations through cloud platforms. Some cloud Marketplaces have already responded by allowing partners to offer individual offers and prices directly to customers, tracking deal registrations and discounts, Matthew Ball said in a March 29, 2019 publication.

Gartner Information Security Cost Estimate and Forecast

Experts believe that one of the key factors contributing to increasing information protection costs is the introduction of new methods for detecting and responding to threats - they became the highest security priority for organizations in 2018.

According to Gartner estimates, in 2017, organizations' spending on cyber defense services on a global scale exceeded $52.3 billion. In 2018, these costs will rise to $58.9 billion.

In 2017, companies spent $2.4 billion on application protection, $2.6 billion on data protection, and $185 million on cloud protection.

Annual sales of Identity and Access Management solutions were 8.8 billion. The implementation of IT infrastructure protection tools increased to $12.6 billion.

The study also refers to costs of $10.9 billion for equipment used to ensure network security. Their manufacturers earned $3.9 billion on information security risk management systems.

Consumer information security expenses for 2017 were estimated by analysts at $5.9 billion, according to a study by Gartner.[15]

Gartner estimated market size at $89.13 billion

In December 2017, it became known that the global spending of companies on information security (information security) in 2017 will amount to $89.13 billion. According to Gartner, corporate cybersecurity costs by almost $7 billion will exceed the 2016 amount of $82.2 billion.

Companies' cybersecurity spending in 2017 was estimated at almost $90 billion

Experts consider information security services to be the largest item of expenses: in 2017, companies will allocate over $53 billion for these purposes against $48.8 billion in 2016. The second largest segment of the information security market is solutions for protecting infrastructure, the cost of which in 2017 will amount to $16.2 billion instead of $15.2 billion a year ago. Network security equipment is in third place ($10.93 billion).

The structure of information security expenses also includes consumer software for ensuring information security and an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. Gartner estimates the costs in these areas in 2017 at $4.64 billion and $4.3 billion, while in 2016 the indicators were at the level of $4.57 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.

Analysts expect a further rise in the information security market: in 2018, organizations will increase the cost of cyber defense by another 8% and allocate a total of $96.3 billion for these purposes. Among the growth factors, experts listed the changing regulation in the information security sector, awareness of new threats and the reversal of companies to a digital business strategy.

Global Cybersecurity Spending, Segment Data ($ M) for 2016 to 2018
File:Aquote1.png
In general, the cost of cybersecurity is largely due to the reaction of companies to information security incidents, because around the world the number of resonant cyber attacks and information leaks that affect organizations is growing, "says Ruggero Contu, Research Director of Gartner.
File:Aquote2.png

Among the recent cyber incidents that directly affected information security costs, the specialist named the attacks viruses-encoders WannaCry and, NotPetya as well as the largest at the data breach credit bureau. Equifax

The analyst's words are also confirmed by the data obtained by Gartner in 2016 in a survey with the participation of 512 organizations from eight countries of the world:, Australia,, Canada,, and France Germany. India Singapore USA

53% of respondents called information security risks the main driving force behind the increase in cybersecurity costs. Of this number, the highest percentage of respondents said that the threat of cyber attacks most of all affects decision-making on information security costs.

Information security risks are the main driving force behind the rise in cybersecurity spending

Gartner's 2018 forecast calls for increased spending across all major areas. So, about $57.7 billion (+ $4.65 billion) will be spent on cyber defense services, about $17.5 billion (+ $1.25 billion) on infrastructure security, $11.67 billion (+ $735 million) on network protection equipment, $4.74 billion (+ $109 million) on consumer software) and on IAM systems - $4.69 billion (+ $416 million).

Analysts also believe that by 2020, more than 60% of organizations in the world will invest simultaneously in several data protection tools, including information loss prevention, encryption and audit. As of the end of 2017, the share of companies purchasing such solutions was estimated at 35%.

Another significant item of corporate costs for information security will be the involvement of third-party specialists. It is expected that against the background of a shortage of personnel in the field of cybersecurity, the growing technical complexity of information security systems and an increase in cyber threats, the costs of companies for information security outsourcing in 2018 will increase by 11% and amount to $18.5 billion.

According to Gartner's calculations, by 2019, corporate costs for the services of third-party information security experts will amount to 75% of the total cost of cybersecurity software and equipment, while in 2016 this ratio was at the level of 63%.[16]

IDC predicts market size of $82 billion

Analyst firm IDC predicts that spending on cyber defense worldwide will reach $81.7 billion in 2017, up 8.2% from 2016. By 2020, the market volume will exceed $100 billion.

Two-thirds of the costs will fall on companies related to large and very large businesses. By 2019, according to IDC analysts, the size of the expenses of corporations with a staff of more than 1000 people will overcome the $50 billion mark.[17]

2016: Market Size $73.7 Billion, Growth 2 Times IT Market

In October 2016, the analytical company IDC presented brief results of a study of the global information security market. Its growth is expected to be higher for the widow than the IT market.

The IDC calculated that global sales of equipment, software and services for cyber defense will reach about $73.7 billion in 2016, and in 2020 the figure will exceed $100 billion, amounting to $101.6 billion. In the period from 2016 to 2020, the information security technology market will grow by an average of 8.3% annually, which is twice the expected growth rate of the IT industry.

File:Aquote1.png
Today's security situation is such that companies are afraid of becoming a victim of another major cyber attack or cyber violence, says IDC analyst Sean Pike. - As a result, security has become the subject of close attention of directors who require information security budgets to be spent wisely and decisions to work as efficiently as possible.
File:Aquote2.png

The largest segments of the global information security market, IDC forecast for 2016

The largest information security expenses ($8.6 billion) in 2016 are expected in banks. The second, third and fourth places in terms of such investments will be occupied by discrete production enterprises, state bodies and continuous production enterprises, respectively, which will account for about 37% of expenses.

Analysts give leadership in the dynamics of the increase in information security investments to healthcare (in 2016-2020, an average annual growth of 10.3% is expected). The costs of cyber protection in telecom, housing, government agencies and the investment and securities market will rise by about 9% per year.

Researchers call the largest information security market American, the volume of which in 2016 will reach $31.5 billion. The top three will also include Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan). There is no information on the Russian market in the short version of the IDC study.[18]

Dmitry Gvozdev, CEO of the Russian company Security Monitor, predicts an increase in the share of services in total Russian security spending from 30-35% to 40-45%, and also predicts the development of the client structure of the market - from the total predominance of the state, financial and energy sectors towards medium-sized enterprises from a wider range of industries.

File:Aquote1.png
One of the trends should be the development of the share of domestic software products in connection with import substitution issues and the foreign policy situation. However, how much this will be reflected in financial indicators will largely depend on the ruble exchange rate and the pricing policy of foreign vendors, which still occupy at least half of the domestic software solutions market and up to two-thirds in the equipment segment. The final annual financial result of the entire Russian information security market can also be tied to external economic factors, "Gvozdev said in a conversation with TAdviser.

2010: Sales of information security services $31.1 billion

The global information security services market will reach $35.1 billion in 2011, compared to $31.1 billion in 2010, according to a Gartner report. The research company predicts that this market in 2012 will amount to $38.3 billion, and in 2015 - $49.1 billion.

According to Lawrence Pingree, director of research at Gartner, the information security market has been changing very rapidly in recent years: the number of provider companies that offer technology as a service is growing, as well as customers who increasingly prefer the SaaS model as a method of reducing costs and consolidating resources for more strategically significant security initiatives.

The IT management subsegment of the information security services market, according to Gartner forecasts, will grow from $8 billion to $14.9 billion by 2015, it will almost double in volume. It will also become the largest segment of the market.

In 2010, Gartner gave the following forecasts:

  • the consulting segment will grow from $9.64 billion in 2011 to $10.2 billion in 2011, and by 2015 to $12.15 billion.

  • development and integration segment - from $11.31 billion in 2011 to $11.94 billion in the future and $13.74 billion over the next five years.

  • smaller segments - software support and technology support - will increase from $5 billion to $6.94 billion from 2011 to 2015 and from $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion, respectively.

The largest regional market for information security services in 2010 was North America: in 2012, $14.6 billion will be spent on security services here, and in 2015 - already $19 billion.

In Western Europe, spending on services of this kind reached $11.9 billion in 2012 and $14.4 billion in 2015.

The cost of security services in Japan will be $5.1 billion in 2012 and $5.9 billion in 2015.

Finally, in the Asia-Pacific region, they will grow from $4.7 billion in 2012 to $7 billion in 2015.

Analysts believed that it makes sense for small rapidly growing vendors to focus on the North American market, where there is the most positive growth and high demand for security services. Gartner analysts felt they should also continue to invest in other emerging regions. As for larger providers that already have strong positions in North America, they are encouraged to focus on regional expansion.
