Critical Infrastructure Protection Market Trends


Growing smart cities is driving the market growth


Market CAGR for critical infrastructure protection is being driven growing smart cities. Smart cities comprise physical and cyber infrastructures that provide several benefits and raise the general living level. However, smart city growth puts essential infrastructures like public safety, electrical grids, smart transit systems, and water supply in danger, posing an indirect threat to national security. Because of their interconnectedness, these critical infrastructures in smart cities are particularly exposed to cyber assaults. To prevent cyberattacks from disrupting vital infrastructure, security professionals employ cyber and physical technologies that provide appropriate levels of defense against threats. As a result, the need for critical infrastructure security services is growing to secure smart cities' vital infrastructure from cyber-attacks. Critical infrastructure is constantly threatened by natural and man-made dangers and hazards such as extreme weather, infrastructure, cyberattacks, failing or aging and terrorism threats. Large industrial critical infrastructures rely heavily on internet access for remote monitoring and management. Cyberattacks or other threats to energy infrastructure, telecommunications, transportation, banking, healthcare, and defense can have disastrous implications and hamper the economy. As a result, numerous industries are deploying critical infrastructure protection solutions in their environments to resist cyber and terrorist assaults. Regulation (EU) 2017/1938, for example, addresses a severe gas supply crisis caused by a variety of risk factors, such as terrorism, cyber-attacks, and sabotage, by establishing standards for regional emergency preparedness and risk assessments based on the concept of solidarity.


A strong cybersecurity posture in an organization analyses and mitigates risks. Implementing a critical infrastructure protection (CIP) solution protects an organization's safety and the uninterrupted operation of its critical infrastructure. It safeguards not just physical assets of national importance, such as nuclear installations, but also virtual assets, such as defense plans. However, as more sophisticated cyber-attacks occur, the necessity for ongoing development of cybersecurity solutions grows. Any country must secure key infrastructure functions such as government, transportation, energy, and finance against terrorist attacks and natural catastrophes. The United States government guarantees that organizations and other facilities have a strong cybersecurity posture. In recent years, the government has developed cybersecurity units and deterrent actions by enacting tough rules to reduce cyber-attacks that cause catastrophic damage to the country. Nations worldwide implement preventive measures and processes to secure key infrastructures to sustain important social activities. As a result, rising government backing for critical infrastructure is expected to drive the critical infrastructure protection industry forward.Thus, driving the Critical Infrastructure Protection market revenue.
