Cyber security threats are growing rapidly as more individuals and organizations get connected to the internet leading to rising wave of cyber-attacks worldwide. The need to secure personal and sensitive data from malicious actors has never been more important. This has compelled more businesses and government to bolster their security measures by upgrading systems and adopting advanced solutions, which is expected to drive continued healthy growth of the cyber security market during the forecast period.

Growing digital transformation and technology adoption

With the rapid pace of digital transformation and technology adoption across all industries globally, the risk of cyber threats and security breaches has significantly increased. Almost all business processes today are technology-enabled or completely dependent on various digital systems and networks. From large enterprises to small businesses, organizations are relying on Internet of Things (IoT) devices, cloud computing platforms, mobile technologies, and other digital infrastructures to improve efficiencies, drive innovation, and gain competitive advantages. However, the widespread deployment of connected devices and migration of workloads to public clouds have also enlarged the attack surface for cybercriminals.

For instance, in September 2023, the eHealth Centre of Excellence (eCE) announced the launch of eCE Shield, a national web-based cybersecurity and privacy self-learning program designed specifically for Canadian healthcare professionals. This program aims to address the pressing need for comprehensive cybersecurity and privacy education in the healthcare sector, ultimately empowering organizations to become more resilient against cyber threats and privacy breaches.

Increasing sophistication of cyber threats

The cyber threat landscape is rapidly evolving, with emerging attack methods and more dangerous malware. Traditional security measures are proving ineffective against the continuous evolution of cybercriminals who are leveraging new technologies like AI and cryptocurrencies to launch stealthier, targeted attacks. Malware is becoming self-learning and self-mutating, making detection and mitigation extremely challenging. Nation-state actors are using cyber warfare techniques to conduct espionage or disrupt critical infrastructure. Insider threats from compromised or disgruntled employees exploiting gaps have also risen substantially. With increasing geopolitical tensions, cybersecurity has become a major national security concern. To protect critical infrastructure and prevent cyber incidents from causing real-world damage, organizations must consistently enhance their defenses, threat intelligence, and incident response capabilities. This dynamic threat landscape keeps the cybersecurity market vibrant as new solutions are required to detect advanced persistent threats, reduce response times, and ensure thorough forensic investigation after incidents.
