OT Cybersecurity Market to Hit US$21.6 Billion by 2028 as Industrial Sector Boosts Defense Against Rising Cyberattacks
工業(yè)領(lǐng)域?yàn)閼?yīng)對(duì)日益增加的網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊，OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全市場(chǎng)將在2028年達(dá)216億美元

Industrial operations are increasingly under threat as the industrial world embraces waves of digitization and smart manufacturing trends. Operational Technology (OT) attacks are common, widespread and extremely frequent. In a new report, global technology intelligence firm ABI Research forecasts that the OT cybersecurity market will grow from US$12.75 billion in 2023 to around US$21.6 billion by 2028, with an approximate Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. Network security and segmentation technologies will grow the most, followed by identity and access management and end-point protection.

隨著工業(yè)領(lǐng)域擁抱數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型和智能制造趨勢(shì)，工業(yè)運(yùn)營(yíng)正面臨著日益嚴(yán)峻的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全威脅。針對(duì)運(yùn)營(yíng)技術(shù)（OT）的攻擊頻發(fā)，已成常態(tài)。根據(jù)全球技術(shù)情報(bào)公司ABI Research的最新報(bào)告，OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全市場(chǎng)預(yù)計(jì)將以約9.2%的復(fù)合年增長(zhǎng)率（CAGR），從2023年的127.5億美元增長(zhǎng)至2028年的約216億美元。其中，網(wǎng)絡(luò)防護(hù)與分割技術(shù)的增長(zhǎng)最為顯著，緊隨其后的是身份與訪問管理以及端點(diǎn)保護(hù)。

“Every industrial sector imaginable is embracing some digitization and concept of Industry 4.0. As a result, the potential for cyber threats has also increased, prompting a growing demand for robust defensive measures. This market has lots of space for growth, as there is considerable capacity to expand smart industries,” said Michael Amiri, senior industrial cybersecurity analyst at ABI Research.   

ABI Research的資深工業(yè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全分析師Michael Amiri指出：“幾乎所有能想象到的工業(yè)部門都在不同程度上接納了數(shù)字化和工業(yè)4.0的概念。隨之而來的是，潛在的網(wǎng)絡(luò)威脅也在增加，這促使市場(chǎng)對(duì)強(qiáng)大的防御措施需求日益增長(zhǎng)。這一市場(chǎng)具有巨大的成長(zhǎng)空間，因?yàn)橹悄墚a(chǎn)業(yè)有著可觀的擴(kuò)展?jié)摿Α?rdquo;

Already, there is talk among cybersecurity professionals that OT and Internet of Things (IoT) spending could surpass Information Technology (IT) spending in the future, as the number of laptops, tablets and other IT-related devices has hit a plateau. Amiri explained, “The fact is that OT and IoT devices are just beginning to expand and are far more numerous. An industrial plant could have tens of thousands of sensors, routers and PLCs, all of which must be protected from malicious actors. OT cybersecurity revenues are becoming integral to the overall cybersecurity market.”

已經(jīng)有網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全專業(yè)人士預(yù)測(cè)，未來OT和物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IoT）支出可能會(huì)超過信息技術(shù)（IT）支出，因?yàn)楣P記本電腦、平板電腦和其他IT相關(guān)設(shè)備的數(shù)量已經(jīng)趨于飽和。Amiri解釋說：“事實(shí)上，OT和IoT設(shè)備才剛剛開始擴(kuò)張，數(shù)量遠(yuǎn)超IT設(shè)備。一個(gè)工業(yè)工廠可能有數(shù)萬個(gè)傳感器、路由器和PLC，所有這些都必須免受惡意行為的侵害。OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全收入正成為整個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全市場(chǎng)的重要組成部分。”

As more industries digitize, network security, which involves protecting industrial networks and data transmissions, is expected to experience robust growth. Technologies that secure OT networks now possess enhanced capabilities using AI and behavioral traffic analysis to detect and respond to OT-specific network threats. As a result, demand for these security products is seeing strong growth.

隨著更多行業(yè)實(shí)現(xiàn)數(shù)字化，網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全預(yù)計(jì)將實(shí)現(xiàn)強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)，這涉及到保護(hù)工業(yè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)和數(shù)據(jù)傳輸。現(xiàn)在，保障OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全的技術(shù)利用人工智能（AI）和流量行為分析增強(qiáng)能力，以檢測(cè)并應(yīng)對(duì)OT特有的網(wǎng)絡(luò)威脅。因此，這類安全產(chǎn)品的需求正強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)。

Furthermore, segmentation technologies play a central role in securing OT traffic. They not only provide cost-effective partitioning but also allow customization of security controls and data flows for each isolated segment. ABI Research expects segmentation to generate the most revenue in the OT cybersecurity market.

此外，分割技術(shù)在OT流量安全中扮演著核心角色。它們不僅提供了經(jīng)濟(jì)有效的隔離方案，還允許對(duì)每個(gè)隔離段的安保控制和數(shù)據(jù)流進(jìn)行定制化設(shè)置。ABI Research預(yù)計(jì)，分割技術(shù)將在OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全市場(chǎng)中產(chǎn)生最多營(yíng)收。

“Recent macroeconomic pressures do not seem to have impacted the OT cybersecurity market. On the contrary, rapid digitization and escalating geopolitical tensions have contributed to increased spending and market revenues, especially in sectors most prone to cyberattacks, such as oil and gas, utilities, mining and manufacturing. These are sectors where OT cybersecurity providers might want to direct their marketing efforts,” Amiri concluded.

"最近的宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力似乎并沒有影響到OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全市場(chǎng)。相反，快速的數(shù)字化和不斷升級(jí)的地緣政治緊張局勢(shì)促進(jìn)了支出的增加和市場(chǎng)收入的增長(zhǎng)，特別是在最容易受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊的行業(yè)，如石油和天然氣、公用事業(yè)、采礦和制造業(yè)。這些是OT網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全提供商可能希望集中他們的營(yíng)銷努力的領(lǐng)域，"Amiri總結(jié)說。
