Cybersecurity Week 2019

Growth in the cybersecurity market over the next half-decade is expected to be lead by encryption since it protects sensitive data across all critical points in the lifecycle and enables enterprises to hide their critical data from unauthorized bad actors. Meanwhile, a growing number of breaches due to lack of awareness or carelessness has boosted demand for automated threat intelligence and mitigation tools.

The market itself is poised for rapid expansion, with cybersecurity sales expected to reach $248.3 billion by 2023, up from $152.7 billion in 2018, representing a compound annual growth rate of 10.2 percent, according to research firm MarketsandMarkets.
