Military Cybersecurity Market By Type (Endpoint Security Solutions, Network Security Solutions, Content Security Solutions), By Deployment (On-Premises, Cloud), By Solution (Threat Intelligence and Response Management, Identity and Access Management, Data Loss Prevention Management, Security and Vulnerability Management, Unified Threat Management, Enterprise Risk and Compliance, Managed Security, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
The global military cybersecurity market was valued at $15.7 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $68.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 15.4% from 2024 to 2033.
The safeguarding of military networks, systems, and data from cyber threats and attacks is known as military cybersecurity. It includes the methods, tools, procedures, and practices that armed forces use to protect their communications networks, command and control systems, IT infrastructure, and sensitive data assets from unwanted access, use, interference, or destruction by enemies.
Factors such as increase in demand for defense IT expenditure, transition, of conventional military aircraft into autonomous aircraft, and growth in cyber-attacks on the regulatory, trade and individuals supplement the growth of the defense cyber security market. However, limited awareness related to cyber security and lack of cyber security professionals or workforce are the factors expected to hamper the growth of the military cyber security market.
In addition, the transition of conventional military aircraft into autonomous or unmanned systems also presents unique cybersecurity challenges. Ensuring the integrity and security of the communication links, command systems, and sensor data of these unmanned platforms is crucial to prevent potential exploitation or hijacking by adversaries. Moreover, the rise in cyber-attacks targeting not only military networks but also critical infrastructure, regulatory bodies, trade organizations, and individuals underscores the need for robust defense cybersecurity measures. Cyber threats can range from espionage and sabotage to data breaches and disruptive attacks, posing significant risks to national security, economic stability, and public safety.
Despite the growing recognition of the importance of cybersecurity in the defense sector, there are challenges that could impede its growth. Limited awareness among military personnel and decision-makers about cybersecurity best practices and threats may result in insufficient investment and attention to cybersecurity initiatives.
Furthermore, there is a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals and workforce within the defense sector, exacerbating the challenge of defending against sophisticated cyber threats. Recruiting, training, and retaining cybersecurity experts with specialized knowledge of military systems and operations are essential for maintaining a strong military cybersecurity. Moreover, the demand for military cybersecurity solutions is driven by factors such as increased IT expenditure, the transition to autonomous military platforms, and the proliferation of cyber threats, addressing challenges like awareness gaps and workforce shortages is crucial for effectively mitigating cyber risks and safeguarding military assets and operations.
The global military cybersecurity market was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to disturbances in the supply chain and production procedures. The dynamics of the market were impacted by fluctuating demand and economic uncertainty. Despite these obstacles, the market quickly rebounded due to the defense industry's increased investment in the purchase of aerial, land, and marine vehicles for its military cybersecurity.
The market is propelled by the collaboration among military organizations and defense contractors which is playing a crucial role in enhancing technical expertise and capabilities in cybersecurity. Joint initiatives and partnerships facilitate the development of innovative cybersecurity solutions adapted to the unique requirements of military operations.
The military cybersecurity market is witnessing robust growth driven by the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, the adoption of advanced military technologies, and collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing defense cyber resilience. As defense organizations prioritize cybersecurity as a core component of their strategic initiatives, the market is poised for further expansion to meet the evolving cybersecurity needs of modern military operations.
For instance, in January 2023, NATO announced that they have signed contracts with IBM Belgium and King ICT Croatia to support the organization’s cybersecurity. These contracts which are valued at USD 31.7 million will cover the integration of cyber defense capabilities and associated configuration services from February until 2025 with an additional two-year option. Such factors are propelling the need for military cybersecurity market during the forecast period of 2022-2032.
