Market Trends of India Network Security And Cyber Risk Management Industry
Intrusion Detection and Prevention System to Dominate the Market
- An Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) monitors network traffic for signs of a possible attack. When it detects potentially dangerous activity, it takes action to stop the attack. Often this takes the form of dropping malicious packets, blocking network traffic or resetting connections. The IDPS also usually sends an alert to security administrators about the potential malicious activity.
- The two main contributors to the successful deployment and operation of an IDS or IPS are the deployed signatures and the network traffic that flows through it.
- The market is expanding as a result of rising R&D expenditures by both public and commercial organisations to provide novel and affordable secured low-power intrusion detection and prevention solutions. The market size is increased by rising awareness of home and commercial safety and security.
- Moreover, government initiatives like 'Make in India', which aims to promote the development, manufacture, and assembly of products made in India by incentivizing dedicated investments into manufacturing, and government campaigns like 'Digital India,' which was launched to ensure increased Internet connectivity and make the nation digitally empowered in terms of technology, have been influencing the growth of the IDP system in the country.
Growth in Mobile Phones to Significantly Drive the Market Growth
- India has seen a tremendous growth in tech savvy population, with mobile phones being the first digital medium. In India, there are 1.2 billion mobile customers, 750 million of whom use smartphones. The nation is anticipated to be the second-largest smartphone manufacturer in the coming five years.
- With the growing number of smartphones in India, the demand for the Internet is continuously growing in the country. According to the report published by IAMAI (The Internet and Mobile Association of India), there are currently 692 million active internet users in the country, and the number is estimated to hit 900 million by 2025, led by growth in rural areas.
- At the same time, there has been substantial growth in IT spending in India and a scaling up in the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and BlockChain.
- According to Ericsson, In 2022, the dominant technology of smartphone subscriptions used in India was LTE, which had reached nearly 805 million. It was expected to peak in 2024 at around 838.6 million subscriptions, with 3G connections estimated at 22 million by that point. 5G was forecasted to be about 646.5 million of all 1.13 billion smartphone subscriptions in India at the end of 2027.
