Global Cyber Security Market Report 2014-2018
M2 - Wed May 28, 9:21AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jg8d69/global_cyber) has announced the addition of the "Global Cyber Security Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Cyber Security market will grow at a CAGR of 11.8% over the period 2013-2018. The growth of the Global Cyber Security market is driven by several factors, one such factor being the need to improve the quality of protection. As the frequency of attacks is on the rise, organizations are increasingly implementing IT security solutions to efficiently monitor threats and provide enhanced protection. The quality of protection can also be improved by outsourcing security responsibilities to service providers with core expertise in this field. Hence, more end-users are adopting IT security services, which is driving the growth of the market. One of the major trends witnessed in the market is the increase in the demand for cloud-based security solutions. This demand is primarily because of the significant advantages attributed to such solutions. Companies also find it difficult to manage standalone or integrated network components because of issues such as budget constraints and the lack of resources and expertise available to address security problems. Hence, companies opt for cloud-based IT security solutions that are cost-effective, comply with PCI DSS regulations, and offer round-the-clock monitoring of systems. Therefore, the increase in demand for cloud-based solutions is expected to contribute to the growth of the Global Cyber Security market during the forecast period.
