The cyber security market in the country has been immensely driven by a substantial growth in the online and digital data that accompanies increased threats from attackers. Smart city initiative by the Indian government will push the Internet of Things (IoT) market and indirectly the cyber security space in India by leaps and bounds. The number of connected devices would increase to 2.7 billion in 2020 from around 200 million presently. The Indian government has been very strong towards practice of e-Governance to convey public services. The push from government and corporate alike will foresee the market climb at a CAGR of ~% over the period FY’2015-FY‘2020 to envisage a revenue figure of INR ~ billion. Cloud computing would surely take over the traditional space in the coming years but its rise would be decelerated due to compliance fulfillment issues in India. Additionally, data protection issues in India would also slow down the cloud security market. However, the cloud market would witness a full-fledged growth after FY’2018.
India will possess a lot of intellectual property by the end of 2018. With an exponential growth in FDI and MNCs eager to ride the digitization wave in India, there will be a lot to lose and therefore India will be a tempting target for cyber attacks. Cyber security vendors will have a bright future if they are able to leverage their understanding of the Indian market properly and accordingly market their product.
The increasing organized retail establishments in the country and the growing awareness about company data security has led to many brands foraying into the market. Companies have started allocating dedicated budget towards security installations. Mid size companies have dedicated IT security teams who are engaged in 24*7 monitoring of their networks. Another important factor that is expected to push the market is the growing mobility among Indian employees. Flexibility in work culture demands protection of the company data on mobile devices. Organizations have been witnessed to invest heavily towards ensuring security over mobile devices like phones and laptops.
“The security vendors will have to devote more into their R&Ds and develop innovative and unique products to cater to the new age threats that will come up with the operation of IoTs in the smart cities” according to the Research Analyst, Ken Research.
