Defensive Cyber Weapons Market Trends

• Growing need for defense intelligence and surveillance is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for defensive cyber weapons is driven by the rising demand for defense intelligence and surveillance in military operations. Defense intelligence and surveillance have observed a significant increase in recent years. More specialized surveillance skills are required due to growing international demands and the increasing use of irregular warfare. To achieve a tactical advantage, military organizations seek out the most innovative technologies. It creates a sizable promise for the market for cyber weapons. Modern military operations must increasingly include important elements of cyber warfare. These tools support military units in monitoring enemy activity, gathering intelligence, and planning attacks on hostile communication and infrastructure grids.

Additionally, market expansion will be aided by the adoption of strict cyber security rules as well as cutting-edge technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) for risk analysis. The industry will continue to develop due to the internet’s quick spread and the large amount of sensitive information used by the military and government agencies. And other crucial businesses like banking and insurance are extremely susceptible to cyber-attacks.

The market for cyber weapons has grown as the need for infrastructure security has increased because they rely on technology and digital networks; industries like healthcare, finance, and transportation are now more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Therefore, there is a growing demand for effective national critical infrastructure protection measures for banking systems and power grids. A major concern for national security is cyber security. It affects both the public and commercial sectors and covers a variety of national security issues, including terrorism, crime, and industrial and governmental espionage. In response to the growing security risks posed by or inside cyberspace, international organizations and countries have turned their attention to cyber security. Market participants are winning contracts for enhancing national security.

For instance, to serve the Army National Guard, General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) won the Guard Enterprise Cyber Operations Serve (GESOC) contract in August 2022. The one-year contract of USD 267 million has three option years. The GECOS program offers the Army National Guard Department of Defense Information Network IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, application hosting, and other services. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for defense cyber weapons will rise due to the growing demand for defense intelligence and surveillance. Thus, driving the Defensive Cyber Weapons market revenue.

SynSaber comes from the quick and accurate motion of skilled swordplay. The company was inspired by Gérard Thibault d’Anvers, a master of fencing from Belgium who developed a thorough and scientific method of swordplay. The “Mysterious Circle” is a circular graphic that serves as a significant representation of the mathematical and actual location of a person and weapon in its guidebook “Academy de I’Espée.” The exact geometric relationship between opposing swordsmen, as well as its reach, range, and natural proportions, are shown in the Mysterious Circle. Swordsmen may successfully defend and counterattack by being aware of these proportions, which is at the heart of Thibault’s offensive and defensive strategy.  In July 2021, new industrial cyber security company SynSaber received USD 2.5 million in seed funding from SYN Ventures and Cyber Mentor Fund. SynSaber is creating a network and industrial asset monitoring solution to offer continuous visibility into the status, threats and vulnerabilities.
