AI in Cybersecurity Market Dynamics

Driver: Rise in Cyberattacks Alarming Statistics and Urgent Need for Robust Cybersecurity Measures

Globally, the frequency of cyberattacks is on the rise, impacting individuals, enterprises, and governments, leading to substantial financial losses. Cybercriminals target endpoints, networks, and data, with motives ranging from political rivalry and financial gain to damaging reputation and furthering radical religious group interests. Prominent ransomware such as WannaCry, Petya, NotPetya, and BadRabbit have significantly affected large-scale enterprises and government organizations. The CISCO cybersecurity threat trends report for 2021 reveals alarming statistics, including a high percentage of organizations facing phishing attempts, malicious browser ads, crypto mining, and ransomware-related activities. The escalating sophistication of cyber threats, particularly ransomware, is compelling organizations globally to prioritize cybersecurity solutions and services for safeguarding critical IT infrastructure and sensitive data. According to Microsoft, the US was the primary target of 46% of cyberattacks in 2020, emphasizing the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures worldwide.

Restraint: Rise in Insider Cyber Threats

Organizational insiders, including employees, vendors, business partners, or maintenance contractors, hold the potential to access company assets physically or remotely, encompassing physical data, electronic devices, and digital assets. The surge in insider attacks poses a growing threat, resulting in data breaches. Insiders, driven by motives like personal gain or selling trade secrets to competitors, target sensitive information, including intellectual property, patents, and copyrights in organizational databases. Healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors face risks such as the theft of patient medical history and IT sabotage due to insider attacks. The shift from outsider to insider attacks is evident across various industries. Despite this trend, AI in security is not commonly employed to detect insider threats, posing a constraint on the market.

Opportunity: Escalating cyberthreat landscape plagues multiple sectors

SMEs, lacking robust security measures, are prime targets for cyber attackers focusing on data, networks, endpoints, and applications. Traditional security systems prove insufficient against threats like WannaCry, NotPetya, ransomware, and malware, necessitating a shift to cloud-based cybersecurity solutions for comprehensive protection across development, production, and implementation phases. Cloud deployment offers SMEs flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, optimizing business operations. This transition towards cloud solutions creates growth opportunities for providers of cloud-based data protection solutions, such as IBM, HPE, Symantec, McAfee, and Cisco. The adoption of cloud-based security solutions, delivered through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), addresses the increasing demand for IT security, especially as concerns about cloud data safety rise, further boosting the AI in cybersecurity market.

Challenge: Lack of interoperability with existing information systems

Enterprises, grappling with technological advances like IoT, confront the hurdle of ensuring interoperability with their existing systems. In the realm of cybersecurity, interoperability refers to the capacity of IT systems and endpoint solutions to facilitate seamless data communication and exchange. This capability is essential for the effective delivery of security measures to individuals and businesses. Interoperability challenges arise from integrating devices from different manufacturers, diverse machine batches, and varied operating system support. Numerous associations and organizations are actively addressing this issue. While some existing standards such as MTConnect, EtherCAT, and MDIS facilitate data interchange, the absence of a universal platform for communication across all information security systems remains a significant challenge in addressing current interoperability issues.
