Market Trends of Big Data Security Industry

High Demands for Data Security in Manufacturing Sector to Drive the Market Growth

  • At the application level, a security breach can happen to any company that has a large online presence.Denial-of-service attacks on a company's website or apps are common and can have a big effect on operations all along the supply chain.According to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence study, these attempts are second only to SQL injection in frequency, and in some situations, they are even politically driven.
  • Cyberattacks are a digital pandemic sweeping the manufacturing industry, costing organizations millions of dollars in sales and hours from the production cycle. In the third quarter of last year, manufacturing accounted for 68% of all business ransomware outbreaks. Furthermore, Dragos revealed that manufacturers experienced seven times the number of industrial ransomware instances in the food and beverage business. Cyberattacks in the last year forced 44% of firms to temporarily shut down their manufacturing lines.
  • For example, Nordex, a large company that makes wind turbines, saw a Conti ransomware attack on their network in April of last year. This caused many of their systems to go offline across all of their branches.The company disabled remote access to systems that controlled wind turbines and IT systems in order to stop the malware from spreading and limit the damage to their internal network.
  • Governments across regions like Germany, the US, China, and India are focusing on smart manufacturing techniques by increasing automation and industrial control systems (ICS) (like SCADA, DCS, and PLCs). Using data from sensors and other industrial control devices, these techniques create a connected, automated environment and improve how well things work.
  • The same industry trends that make manufacturing more streamlined, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), also exponentially increase the potential for cyber attacks. Such attacks, whether through cyber espionage, distributed denial of service (DDOS), or Web application attacks, can wreak havoc on a manufacturing company's reputation. If the breach is severe enough, a company might never regain its losses due to not taking appropriate data security measures.

The cybersecurity risks to the manufacturing sector include operational downtime due to physical damage, product manipulation, and the theft of intellectual property and sensitive data. Although the growth in industrial 4.0 practices across manufacturing industries provides more scope for big data analytics over the forecast period, security threats are reported to be a major concern for manufacturers. The factors mentioned earlier may discourage companies from incorporating digital capabilities, thus creating scope for big data security solutions.

North America to Hold the Largest Market Share

  • Large enterprises, including big tech companies in the region like Intel, increasingly embrace a big data environment. In addition, for Big Data projects, the White House has invested more than USD 200 million to make them vulnerable to threats. Data breaches are also on the rise, so the region's need for big data security is substantial.
  • As the demand for big data security is directly proportional to the security of big data, the more big data generated, the higher the demand for the big data security market. Moreover, the region is the biggest start-up hub (with approximately 20,000 active start-ups). The need for Canada's big data security is increasing over the forecast period due to the high adoption rate of big data security and cloud services in major tech companies.
  • Industries across the region are adopting big data security. The country's supermarket retail chain uses big data to learn more about its customers and offer value-added services and promotions, such as discounts and rewards. With the big data market expected to double by 2025 in Canada, the region is expected to be a substantial market after the United States.
  • With the rise of remote work and the fact that thousands of businesses across the country didn't have the right protections, there were many bad actors in many industries.For example, in May 2021, a data breach at a vendor of Volkswagen came to light, which impacted more than 3.3 million customers in North America and included information about loan eligibility, as well as date-of-birth records and Social Security numbers. Surprisingly, the hacker identified was looking to sell the contents of the database for around USD 5,000.

Furthermore, various market players in the region are involved in various strategies to gain a competitive edge and increase their market share. For instance, in August last year, Microsoft Corp. and Barclays Bank PLC announced that Barclays had chosen Microsoft Teams as its primary collaboration platform, enabling collaboration for over 120,000 employees and service partners in critical locations worldwide. Barclays is consolidating its existing connectivity and collaboration capabilities under the arrangement, with Teams replacing multiple-point solutions previously in use throughout the organization.
