Industrial Control System Security Market Trends


The evolving trend of utilizing digital technology in ICS Security is aiding the market's growth.


The increasing demand for ICS industrial control systems to manage industrial operations is a result of the developing tendency of organizations in the power sector, manufacturing, and industrial areas. Industrial control systems are confronted with a wide variety of security risks practically every day. Within the context of the digital economy, these threats have become more sophisticated. Control systems are becoming increasingly important to the industrial sector, which is also experiencing a growing dependence on them. As a result of this, it is becoming more vital than ever before to have a grasp of the significance of industrial cyber security and to keep a close eye on developing security trends and threats. Technology is a stream that moves at a rapid pace, and the provision of cybersecurity solutions to every industrial control system will continue to be an ongoing necessity. In the current scenario, the three most important business issues for ICS specialists are as follows: guaranteeing the dependability and availability of control systems, reducing risk and strengthening security, and ensuring the health and safety of staff.


Industrial Control System Security Segment Insights


The global industrial control system security market is segmented based on system type, verticals, and security type.


Based on System type, the industrial control system security market is further segmented into SCADA, PLC, and DCS, out of which the DCS i.e. Distributed control system segmentation, dominates the overall market share, followed by SCADA system type, which is said to be the fastest growing segmentation in the said market segment during the forecast period. In sectors including manufacturing, oil and gas, and chemicals, distributed control systems are prevalent. They facilitate the monitoring and centralized management of industrial processes across numerous systems or locations. DCS systems generally comprise an interconnected assemblage of actuators, sensors, and controllers that are linked to a central control unit. It is crucial to protect DCS systems from unauthorized access, data intrusions, and the interruption of critical processes. As industrial sectors further implement and enhance DCS systems, there is an increasing and prevailing demand for security solutions tailored for DCS.


Based on verticals, the industrial control system security market is further sub-segmented into manufacturing, energy, food & beverages and transportation divisions. The manufacturing division owes the major market share, which is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of industrial automation technologies and the high-end interconnected devices and systems that are utilized in the global manufacturing sector. Risks of physical harm or operational disruptions are conceivable due to the vulnerabilities introduced by the interconnectedness of such systems, which cyber adversaries may exploit. Consequently, to fortify their operational technology networks, manufacturers are emphasizing allocating resources towards specialized intrusion detection systems with the ICS technology and security measures, including secure remote access, network segmentation, and intrusion detection systems.


Based on security type, the market is divided into network type security and conventional type security, out of which, the network type security segmentation is said to dominate the market share in the said categorization at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Network security safeguards computer systems against sophisticated attacks. It is comprised of ICS security solutions and services that protect various networking assets and resources in the administration of critical infrastructure. Its provision of network security requires the integration of various components, such as hardware and software.


Industrial Control System Security Regional Insights


The global industrial control system security market is primarily studied across four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. Out of these, the North American region holds the major market share among all the other regions. North America has been leading in the implementation of ICS security systems. Given the increasing frequency of cyberattacks targeting essential infrastructure, industries such as manufacturing, chemicals, energy, and utilities extensively employ ICS security solutions. This region has shown a high level of adaptability to recent technological breakthroughs, including the incorporation of cloud and IoT technologies into ICS security solutions. This integration aims to create a comprehensive and safe access mechanism while implementing a framework for governing security.


The Asia-Pacific region is expected to have a substantial growth rate in the global industrial control system security market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the fact that China possesses one of the most expansive industrial sectors, which is undergoing constant transformation as companies increasingly adopt automation. Furthermore, it is expected that the increasing urbanization and consumer spending in India will result in a greater amount of manufacturing taking place across the country. Thus, it is expected that the given factors will hasten the growth of the said market segment in the Asia-Pacific region.

Industrial Control System Security Industry Developments


MITRE Engenuity just completed its first round of independent ATT&CK Evaluations for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) in July 2021. Among other things, the assessments gauged how well cybersecurity products from five ICS vendors identified the presence of Russian-linked Triton malware. TRITON is designed to target safety systems so that operators cannot respond to failures, hazards, or other unsafe conditions, potentially causing physical damage that could lead to loss of life. The U.S. Department of Treasury imposed sanctions against Russia’s Central Scientific Research Institute of Chemistry and Mechanics after it used TRITON in an attack that shut down a Saudi refinery.


Nearly 100,000 industrial control systems (ICS) belonging to organizations worldwide are exposed to the public internet, according to new research published yesterday by BitSight, a leader in managing and monitoring cyber risk. An attacker who takes advantage of this could gain control over physical infrastructure such as power grids, traffic light systems, security systems, water treatment facilities, and more. Such an attack would be highly disruptive for business continuity; it would also pose risks to human lives through compromised data and intellectual property thefts; finally, yet importantly, it might even threaten national security itself since Fortune 1000 companies across 96 countries have reported being affected by this exposure Additionally education technology government politics business services sectors were most at risk for attacks on their ICS environments among others.


In March 2022, IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2022 said, “For the first time in five years, manufacturing outpaced finance and insurance in the number of cyberattacks levied against these industries…” To address this growing threat landscape, NIST has published Special Publication 1800-10, Protecting Information and System Integrity in Industrial Control System Environments: Cybersecurity for the Manufacturing Sector, which was developed with input from industry partners aimed at helping manufacturers safeguard their Industrial Control Systems used for managing machinery production lines etcetera.


In February 2024, Claroty launched their new Continous Threat Detection platform that leverages Artificial Intelligence and machine learning technologies for real-time anomaly detection in the ICS environment.


In February 2024, Dragos introduced the Envoy Platform, which provides comprehensive threat intelligence and incident response capabilities for ICS Security. 


In January 2024, Fortinet signed an acquisition deal with CyberSense to acquire the company and expand its OT Cybersecurity portfolio and threat intelligence capabilities.
