Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Market Size and Segment Forecasts 2018 – 2024
The industrial control systems (ICS) security
market is growing by a considerable rate due to huge investments by countries
globally towards smart technologies, and increasing cyber risks such as stuxnet
and night dragon. Increasing smart grid deployments, cloud computing for
critical infrastructure protection, and increase in spending by the industries
for industrial control systems are some of the factors creating ample
opportunities for the industrial control systems market to grow in the coming
years.
Cyber-attacks such as Dugu and Flame have been
increasing globally for last few years, and they have affected severe
destructions to essential infrastructures, hampered pipelines, energy
efficiencies, and power grids. The infrastructures are becoming more
susceptible in producing high risks due to increased usage of data
communication systems, complicated IT systems, and control and command systems.
The industrial control systems security market
can be categorized on the basis of technology, services, end users, and
regions. On the basis of technology, the industrial control systems security
market can be categorized as application whitelisting, virtualization security,
intrusion detection system, database activity monitoring, distributed denial of
service, security information and event management, intrusion prevention
system, update and patch management, unified threat management, antivirus or
malware, data loss prevention, firewall, and supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) encryption. On the basis of services, the industrial
control systems security market can be categorized as managed services, risk
management services, audit and reporting, design, integration, and consulting.

The industrial control systems security market
can also be categorized on the basis of end users as chemical and manufacturing,
energy and utilities, communication systems, transportation systems, commercial
buildings, and power sector. Energy and utilities include electric power
transmission, wastewater collection and treatment, water treatment and
distribution, and oil and gas pipelines. Transportation systems include
seaports, airports and railways; chemical and manufacturing include mining
units, refining plants and automated production units. Power sector include
thermal and hydro power plants, power grid, renewable energy power plants and
nuclear power plants. Renewable energy power plants considered are tidal power
plant, geothermal power plant, solar power plant, wind power plant, and biomass
power plant.
One of the major factors driving the growth of
the industrial control systems market are deployment of cloud, smart phones,
and tablets in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and ICS.
Regulatory compliance set up by the government of various countries for
operation, maintenance, and security of critical infrastructure is also
supporting in the growth of the industrial control systems market to some
extent. Lack of expertise and ICS understanding, lack of apprehension about
network security by operators, and presence of legacy control systems which are
more prone to cyber threats are some of the factors restraining the growth of
the industrial control systems market.
Some of the competitors in the industrial control
systems market are Cisco Systems, Inc., Siemens AG, Juniper Networks, Inc.,
Lockheed Martin Corporation, Honeywell International, Inc., International Business
Machines Corporation, Trend Micro Incorporated, Airbus Group SE, Tofino
Security, and ABB Ltd.
