Market Growth Factors

The growing cyberattacks and constant threats to infrastructure, sensitive data, and intellectual property have fuelled the growth of the Europe cybersecurity market. The rise in cyberattacks and data breaches through energy systems, transportation and supply chain networks, and water supply systems has increased the importance for better security standards. The European government and the private sector invested heavily in cybersecurity for protection of systems against new threats and vulnerabilities.

At the same time, remote work and hybrid work caused the attack surface to expand. Users access systems and infrastructure from less secure environments. This has increased demand for endpoint protection, secure VPNs and identity management. Public education and media coverage of cybersecurity risks have also encouraged many organizations to provide employees training and other resources to help minimize human error in the workplace.

The adoption of cloud computing platforms in enterprise business and the risks of data leakage, insider theft and loss has led organizations to adopt cloud application security solutions, including access management, encryption and monitoring tools. The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across industries such as healthcare, smart cities and manufacturing is also a factor. As a result, there have been secure firmware updates, device authentication, and real-time monitoring among other things, all of which are designed for IoT security.
