The encryption solution is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the global ICS security market during the forecast period

The ICS security market has been segmented on the basis of solutions into antimalware/antivirus, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation, encryption, firewall, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Intrusion Detection System/Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS), security and vulnerability management, security configuration management, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), whitelisting, and others. These solutions are required to safeguard the network, endpoint, application, data, and cloud environment. Among these, the encryption solution is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the overall ICS security market, due to the increasing instances of data thefts and the high need for data protection. Traditional IT security solutions are incompetent in detecting and mitigating the OT. Therefore, there is a strong need for next-generation ICS security solutions that can detect and remediate advanced industrial cyber-attacks.

The manufacturing vertical is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the global ICS security market during the forecast period

The manufacturing vertical includes areas such as chemicals and materials, automotive, mining units, paper and pulp, food and beverages, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor. The vertical is highly vulnerable, due to constant threats from cyber-attackers. Any cyber-attack can cause serious disruption to the functioning of automation systems and thereby result in data loss and theft. A cyber-attack of massive intensity can bring the entire plant to a standstill. Experts shall then be required to bring the plant back to a fully functional state. The major motives behind cyber-attacks on the paper and pulp industry include financial gain, vandalism, political attack, and espionage. The energy and utilities vertical is expected to hold the largest market size in the ICS security market, as there is a dire need for protecting energy and utilities plants against health hazard, environmental hazard, and financial loss. Any damage to energy plants can result in shut down, thereby leading to a huge economic loss for the nation.
