ARC Advisory Group’s latest market size and forecast research on industrial/OT cybersecurity network security solutions reveals that digital transformation initiatives are changing industrial/OT security requirements. Isolation is no longer a viable strategy for protecting legacy, insecure-by-design assets. Companies need new networking solutions that can support more granular policies and isolation of individual assets. The impact of sophisticated attacks and ransomware can only be contained when defenders can rapidly block lateral movement within systems.
"Today’s industrial control systems have legacy networks with limited capabilities to block attacks that can compromise critical assets across the system. Blocking lateral movement is essential to controlling the impact of sophisticated attacks and ransomware. This requires micro-segmentation and granular policies that can limit attack blast zones. This creates exceptional opportunities for suppliers that can offer non-disruptive upgrades to networks in operating facilities," according to Sid Snitkin Vice President and key author of ARC's Industrial Cybersecurity Network Security Solutions Market Research.
Industrial Cybersecurity Network Security Solutions Market Trends
The Industrial Cybersecurity Network Security research addresses key market trends as follows:
- Industrial DPI Firewalls: Sales of industrial DPI firewalls will remain strong, but the growth rate of this category will be the lowest in the network security market. This reflects the fact that companies will find that NGFW with ICS DPI capabilities offers a better solution.
- NGFW with ICS DPI: Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) sales will increase at the highest rate for units that can support ICS deep packet inspection. Some NGFW products have already advanced to the point that they support much of the necessary functionality and companies will increasingly recognize the significant advantages of these units over conventional NGFW and units designed specifically for ICS DPI. This includes the fact that they eliminate the need to deal with multiple networking suppliers; provide a more integrated networking strategy; and enable the more granular network control that will be needed to support the growth in connected worker strategies.
- Industrial NGFW: Conventional NGFW products will continue to have strong sales in the industrial/OT network security solutions market for the foreseeable future. All industrial companies recognize the need for NGFW protection at perimeters and for network segmentation. Growth will be stimulated by demand for new features like software-defined networking (SDN), micro-segmentation, and integration with centralized security management products used in corporate IT networks. While this functionality may not be required for traditional OT cybersecurity, it will be justified to support IT demands for more visibility into OT systems and end-to-end security of digital transformation efforts.
