[REGIONGRAPH]
By region, North America dominated the cyber security in energy market share in 2021. The major factor that contributes toward the growth of cybersecurity in North America is increase in usage of mobile & web in energy sector. In addition, surge in dependency on internet and digital platforms is another major factor fuelling the market growth in this region.
The report on cyber security in energy market analysis includes profiles of key players operating in the market such as Accenture, IBM Corporation, General Electric, Vestas, Mitsubishi Power, Hitachi Energy Ltd, Nordex, Ansaldo Energia, Baker Hughes, and Elliot Ebara. These players have adopted various strategies to increase their market penetration and strengthen their position in the cyber security in energy market.
The power and threat of malware, including viruses and Trojans, to infiltrate, manipulate, or damage entire electronic information networks have increased significantly. Cyber attackers often use malware to take control of devices or machines to generate financial gain. This is performed to directly use the machine to conduct fraudulent transactions or malicious activities.
Furthermore, energy sector industries are more vulnerable to such attacks due to the criticality of data generated. Therefore, increase in risk of malware and phishing threats is a key factor that notably contributes toward the growth of the cybersecurity in energy market. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of malware attack on database of large organizations increased, which created the need to strengthen the security of data base, thus boosting the growth of cybersecurity in energy market, globally.
Furthermore, market vendors are coming up with innovative solutions to combat against such malware and phishing attacks, thereby driving growth of the global cyber security in energymarket. For instance, in October 2020, Siemens Energy announced a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based industrial cybersecurity service, Managed Detection and Response (MDR), powered by Eos.ii, to help small and medium-sized energy companies defend critical infrastructure against cyberattacks. The technological platform developed by MDR, called Eos.ii, makes use of AI and machine learning techniques to collect and model real-time energy asset intelligence. As a result, the cybersecurity specialists at Siemens Energy can watch for, identify, and stop assaults before they happen. Thus, rise in cyberattacks in energy sector fuels the growth of cyber security in energy industry.
Networks and smart devices can be slowed to a halt by viruses and other cyberattacks, making it nearly impossible for employees to be productive. The organizations may significantly minimize violations and the amount of downtime required to fix the breach by putting in place a variety of cyber security measures, such as enhanced firewalls, virus scanning, and automatic backups. Education and training can also help guide employees to identify potential email phishing scams, suspect links, and other nefarious criminal efforts.
Furthermore, according to the Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report 2021, the average cost of a single cyber-attack on a small business in the U.S. is $25,612. Considering the fact that only about 40% of small businesses operate at a profit, the loss of data and cost to recover it, downtime to restart operations, and hefty fines can be a steep price to pay. Moreover, weighing the expense of responding with one attack against the benefit of implementing precautionary steps is crucial as cyberattacks are expected to become more sophisticated and complicated every day. Thus, this factor boosts the growth of the cyber security in energy market.
Cloud computing model has been widely adopted in energy sector due to its powerful and flexible infrastructure. Many organizations in the energy industry are shifting their preference toward cloud solutions to simplify the storage of data, as it provides remote server access on the internet, which further allows access to unlimited computing power. Moreover, the implementation of cloud-based model empowers organizations to manage all the applications, as it provides exceptionally challenging analytics that runs in the background.
In addition, the implementation of cloud can allow organizations to combine supplementary infrastructure technologies such as software-defined perimeters to create robust and highly secure platforms. Furthermore, government in many countries have issued special guidelines and regulations for cloud platform security, which drives the growth of the cybersecurity in energy market, globally.
In parallel with the progress being made in the modernization of power production, transmission, and distribution systems (digitalization, network connectivity, usage of general-purpose software and IT, etc.), cyber risks are also growing. Furthermore, guidelines for security measures, such as new supply chain risk controls, have been published as a result of NERC's decision to adopt a new standard (CIP-012-1) for the protection of any communication between large-scale power system control centers.
Furthermore, key players in the industry are increasingly focusing on the development of the cyber security technology in order to mitigate the risks and expand their offerings. For instance, in April 2020, Accenture acquired Morphus, a privately held Brazil-based cyber defense, risk management, and cyber threat intelligence services provider, expanding its practice capabilities in Brazil and Latin America. The acquisition expanded Accenture’s portfolio and marked the launch of a Cyber Industry practice in Latin America led by seasoned former CISOs from Morphus. The new offerings also expanded Accenture’s position in growth markets in Morphus’s primary industry groups: communications media & technology, financial services, energy, retail, and aviation.
The outbreak of COVID-19 had a positive impact on the growth of cyber security in energy industry. This is attributed to the fact that with the emergence of COVID-19, the use of cyber security has enabled energy sector to address security issues and facilitate secured information access while remote working. In addition, the risk of cyberattacks has increased at a considerable rate in various organizations owing to rise in internet traffic, which propels the need for cybersecurity solutions in energy market. Thus, the pandemic had a positive impact on cyber security in energy market.
