Follow us on LinkedIn – While the modern interconnected world brings in numerous advantages and empowers enterprises, it also brings in a fair share of challenges and perils. Today, a country’s economic prosperity and competitiveness depends on “Cyber Security” and the ability to effectively confront threats to the nation’s information grid. Growing adoption of the Internet by governments for defense and military management and public governance, makes public safety and national security vulnerable and dependent upon the robustness of a network. Several governments across the world have already been targets of cyber-warfare.

The unconventional challenges created by the increasing reliance of companies, governments, and people on digital infrastructure include threats posed by spyware, malware, spoofing, phishing, botnets, unauthorized data leakages and access to confidential information networks, and identity thefts among others. The growing emphasis on defending information and communications infrastructure represents one of the primary factors driving demand for cyber security solutions. Another key factor driving growth in the market includes the evolutionary leap in the threat landscape, which continues to evolve with malicious software codes and viruses, becoming more intelligent and sneakier, and capable of adapting against legacy defenses.

Growing adoption of cyber security solutions to avoid unnecessary costs associated with security breaches is driving growth in the market. Cost of data leaks and unauthorized use of confidential information is exorbitantly high, affecting the reputation, revenue, and even survival of companies. Malware, defined as malicious software designed to disrupt computer processes and gain access to confidential information, continue to afflict cyberspace with increasing intensity and frequency. Malware attacks over the internet are a growing threat and for businesses, the dramatic rise in frequency of malware attacks is necessitating the deployment of an additional layer of risk containment. The launch of HTML 5 in mobile devices has encouraged the use of mobile internet leading to an outbreak of malware programs. The cross-platform support of HTML 5 magnifies the threat further.
