The global cyber security market is predicted to grow in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, latest forecasts show.
In the best case scenario, the market is expected to grow 5.6 per cent by the end of 2020, to US$43.1 billion.
According to the research company Canalys, which also said that in the worst case, the market still forecasts an expansion of 2.5%.
This is based on the negative economic point of effect and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the research.
According to studies analyst Canalys Ketaki Borade, the desire for this accumulation of cybersecurity is to fight the accumulation of security disorders after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
“The emergence of COVID-19 in January saw a wave of targeted phishing campaigns and malicious domain names configured to lure end users for information,” Borade said.
“These fell once the blockade took effect. But hackers continue to target organizations and Americans by committing unsafe and ill-trained remote personnel through vectors, adding email, social engineering, and RDP brute force attacks.
“Organisations will have to reassess changes to workflows, application use, customer engagement and training for cybersecurity awareness in a more virtual workplace.”
Of all the market segments that make up cyber security, web and email security is forecast to see the largest growth of 10.3 per cent to 7.8 per cent, from best case to worst case scenario.
This is followed by vulnerability and security analysis, with an expected expansion of 10% to 7.4%, followed by terminal security with an expected expansion of 8.5% to 5.9%, and knowledge security with an expansion window of 8.5% to 5.3%.
The specific terminal safety market has been highlighted for having a maximum expansion rate with continuous remote work, but is expected to decline after experiencing a first forged quarter, for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The only segment of market places that expects a decrease in network security, with a window from the most productive to the worst case, expects decreases from 0.9% to 4.7%. Despite this, it remains the largest market placement segment, with a market placement rate of 36%.
The movements of these segments indicated that organizations were moving away from physical networks to address the possibility of new vulnerabilities arising from remote work.
Furthermore, the cloud market is also expected to see more spending with cloud deployment options and security cloud-deployed workloads also increasing in demand for business continuity measures and cloud migration acceleration.
Channelys lead analyst Matthew Ball said switching to subscription facilities will first protect the security market from immediate IT budget cuts, but that cybersecurity spending forecasts for the rest of the year are not frozen.
“Switching from loose trials to paid subscriptions will help maintain cybersecurity expansion. But the combination of charge control, staff reduction and monetary unrest will result in increased scrutiny of existing projects and small transactions,” Ball said.
“Delays and cancellations of new projects will increase, except those that lower prices and insurance high-priority virtual transformation projects.”
Looking ahead, Borade predicted that large-scale remote paintings would be in position longer than expected during the March lockouts.
“While some painters will return to the office in the coming months, organizations will want a highly decentralized paint force that can paint anywhere for the foreseeable future,” he added.
“This includes a mix of remote and flexible personnel, as well as on-site personnel who can be temporarily transferred to remote paints if a local or national lockout occurs again.”
