Industrial Cybersecurity market growing
工業網絡安全市場持續增長

While traditional manufacturing industries were not designed with security in mind, the proliferation of networks and devices, disparate communication channels, and the use of off-the-shelf software has thrust cybersecurity into the spotlight. Safety and security concerns associated with the high levels of connectivity and integration are surfacing as the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) takes shape in the industrial networks and manufacturing plant floors. The alarming frequency of sophisticated and targeted advanced persistent threats has given further weight to the safety argument across both process and discrete industries.

雖然傳統制造業在設計時沒有考慮到安全性，但網絡和設備的激增，不同的通信渠道，以及使用集成軟件，使得網絡安全成了人們關心的焦點。隨著物聯網（IOT）概念在工業網絡和生產工廠初具規模，與高水平連接和集成相關的安全問題不斷顯露。復雜而有針對性的先進持續威脅的警報頻率，進一步加重了整個過程和離散行業的安全參數。

Frost & Sullivan finds that the global cybersecurity market for control systems is expected to grow at a rate between 20 to 25 percent every year till 2021. North America and Europe will remain at the forefront of creating awareness and initiating technology advancements that address attacks from advanced persistent threats.

Frost＆Sullivan認為，一直到2021年，全球控制系統的網絡安全市場預計每年將以20％至25％的速度增長。北美和歐洲將保持在提高認識并推動技術發展的最前沿，以對抗先進持續威脅的攻擊。

“Enterprises currently employ a broad, layered approach towards protecting cyber assets while industry organizations work on establishing suitable standards,” said Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation and Process Control Senior Research Analyst Sonia Francisco. “Partnerships among government, industry and research institutes will be vital in forming robust, industry-based standards that will speed up the development of comprehensive security management solutions.”

“企業目前廣泛使用分層式方法保護其網絡資產，同時行業組織也在制訂合適的標準，”Frost＆Sullivan工業自動化和過程控制高級研究分析師Sonia Francisco說。“政府、行業和研究機構之間的合作，對于形成強大的、基于行業的標準，從而加快綜合安全管理解決方案的發展至關重要。”

As the IoT concept transforms plant architecture, defence-by-default security strategies will give way to defence-by-design solutions. In-built security solutions that can sense, adapt, modify and respond to threats based on various ecosystem parameters will gain traction.

隨著物聯網概念改變了工廠架構，默認防御的安全策略將讓位于設計防御解決方案。可以感知、改編、修改，并根據不同生態系統參數自動應對威脅的內置安全解決方案，將受到追捧。

Creating industry- and application-specific solutions will also be crucial as information technology (IT) solutions continue to stream into the operational technology (OT) space. Solution providers in the IT and the OT ecosystems must join hands to deploy end-to-end cyber security solutions for industrial systems.

隨著信息技術（IT）解決方案與操作技術（OT）持續融合，創建特定行業和特定應用的解決方案也將至關重要。IT和OT生態系統的方案供應商必須攜起手來，部署工業系統端到端的網絡安全解決方案。

“Such extensive integration will require a new age workforce with both IT and OT expertise,” noted Francisco. “Cybersecurity service providers can provide training and change management solutions that will bridge the knowledge gap.”

Francisco 指出，“如此大規模的整合需要兼備IT和OT專業知識的新時代員工。網絡安全服務提供商可以提供培訓，改變管理方案，從而彌合知識鴻溝。”

As a majority of industries upgrade to smart systems and processes, industrial cybersecurity will soon make the inevitable shift from a reactive operating model to a proactive design philosophy.

隨著大部分產業向智能系統和流程升級，工業網絡安全從被動的運營模式向主動的設計理念轉變，很快將不可避免。
