Despite a considerable hardening of Federal cyber defenses undertaken in the last decade, vulnerabilities do exist and need to be promptly addressed, especially those of legacy IT systems and access control loopholes. Cybersecurity remains a central concern of the U.S. government and by all signs it will stay one of the most imperative government priorities for years to come. Significant funds and efforts will be required to mitigate the ever increasing intensity of cyberattacks, address vulnerabilities and harden up critical infrastructure.
The U.S. Federal cybersecurity market is expected to stay firmly in the $20 Billion Plus territory, with infrastructure hardening segment to grow up at a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12%. The market is somewhat flattening after the period of fast growth, albeit not dramatically. The relatively modest growth rate of the U.S Federal cybersecurity market as a whole is not reflective of more intense internal dynamics of the market segments. Technologies change and high growth opportunities are still there.
It’s not about IT security anymore. When it comes to government networks, it becomes a matter of national security. Enough to say that the annual cyber security spending of the US Federal government is larger than entire national cyber security spending of the most countries in the world. The U.S. government sector is under constant pressure to boost investments in cyber security technologies. The short- to long-term federal cyber security investments will be driven:
- by ever-increasing number and severity of cyber attacks,
- by dramatic expansion in computer interconnectivity and the exponential increase in the data flows and computing power of the government networks;
- by perception of the U.S. adversaries that the United States is dependent on information technology and that this dependency constitutes an exploitable weakness;
- by developments in the existing cyber security approaches and technologies and emergence of new technologies and approaches.
- by growing costs of cybersecurity. It’s time for more cost-effective technologies – increasing costs for intruder without significantly increasing costs of defense. Moving target and decoy networks are the technologies that fill the gap.
- by two conflicting trends in planning and upgrading the cybersecurity infrastructure of the federal IT systems – built-in vs. bolt-on approach, centralized integrated approach vs. point solutions.
Providing cyber security to ever growing and increasingly complicated government IT domain becomes a costly challenge for the government and lucrative opportunity for the cyber security technology vendors.
