Increasing Risk of Cybercrime Due to Growing Penetration of Internet Is Accelerating the Growth of the Internet Security Market
Internet
security is the practice of trying to protect information from being
compromised, whether this information passes between networks such as email or
communication networks or be maintained at a server. A firewall may be firewall-based
or network-based that are often referred to as application security or internet
security gateways while firewall-based firewalls are sometimes referred to as
content filtering firewalls or interface security firewalls.
The
rise in cybercrimes, risks, and threats is propelling the growth of the internet
security market. According to the National Crime Record Bureau data,
Digital India has recorded a huge increase of 63.5 percent in cybercrime cases
in the year 2019. Around 4, 4546 cases of cybercrimes were registered in 2019
as compared to 28,248 in 2018. Increasing adoption of emerging technologies
across banking, retail, information technology, defense, and manufacturing
sectors has also raised the risk of cybercrimes which is again driving the
growth of the internet security market. The growing popularity of
digitalization has further propelled the growth of the internet security
market. Moreover, technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and new
business models extensively rely on global digitization for their growth. This
is further augmenting the growth of the market.
North
America is projected to gain significant growth of the market over the forecast
period and this is attributed to the presence of key vendors coupled with the
strong presence of the IT industry in the region. The United States has the
most advanced software and information technology (IT) services industry in the
world. According to CompTIA, there is more than 525,000 software and IT
services companies in the United States (approximately 40,500 tech startups
