The rapidly increasing cybersecurity incidents are becoming a matter of concern for organisations across different sectors.
The cybersecurity market was valued at USD 156.24 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach USD 352.25 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 14.5 per cent during 2021-2026. The trends for IoT, BYOD, AI, and machine learning in cybersecurity are increasing. For instance, machine learning provides advantages in outlier detection, much to the benefit of cybersecurity, a Modor Intelligence report added.
The report further explained that the rapidly increasing cybersecurity incidents and regulations requiring their reporting are driving the cybersecurity market. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and McAfee, cybercrimes, which include damage and destruction of data, stolen money, lost property, intellectual property theft, and other areas, currently cost the world almost USD 600 billion each year, or 0.8 per cent of the global GDP. As companies adapt to remote work, concepts such as Zero Trust assumes more importance.

Stretched thin by such a demand, security teams of enterprises tend to prioritise the urgent over the important, resulting in gaps and lack of results in impactful initiatives such as automation and orchestration,” said Avinash Prasad, VP – Managed Security Services, Tata Communications.

“Cyber-attacks are in an upward trend & directly proportionately with digitisation transformations across industries. Organisation can tackle through strong processes with periodic drill & controls(effective & efficient) in the business systems/data , however basic/fundamental thing should be right-like integrated monitoring all critical resources/channels/services & appropriate incident response plan in place to tackle evolving threats,” said Pradipta Patro, Head – IT Infrastructure & Cyber Security, RPG Group.
Cybersecurity is important for companies of all sizes, yet many businesses don’t think they are at risk of cyber-attacks because of the size of their company. Unfortunately, that simply isn’t true. “There are few ways in which small businesses can protect themselves from cyber-attacks, understand emerging trends and evolving risks, develop a security policy, keep your hardware, software, and security safeguards up-to-date and educate your employees,” said Bijendra Mishra,Chief Information Security Officer, Alkem Laboratories Limited.
