Friday 27 May 2016, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Utilities Security Market: Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems, Honeywell Security, Qognify, and Tyco International.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: AlienVault, Anixter, Cisco Systems, Computer Sciences Corporation, G4S, General Dynamics, General Electric, McAfee, Northrop Grumman, Siemens, and Symantec.

Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “Vendors offer simple security solutions that detect, identify, and mitigate attacks. However, with the increasing demand for advanced solutions and the growing preference for outsourcing network security to dedicated vendors, there is a need for sophisticated and advanced security services. For instance, the demand for complex services such as vulnerability management and policy or compliance-related solutions is expected to increase. In addition, there is an increasing demand for solutions that offer vulnerability scanning, patching, upgrades, configuration enforcement, and change control. As a result, vendors are expected to introduce customized and advanced utilities security products, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.”

According to the report, the need to increase the levels of protection is the major contributing factor to the growth of the global utilities security market. With the increase in frequency and complexity of cyber attacks, there is an urgent need for reliable protection solutions. As a result of the increasing complexity of the applications that companies use in their operational processes, there is an increase in false positives and false negatives in security systems. This issue is further complicated by the lack of skilled IT professionals.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges that vendors encounter in the market is the issue of integrating their products with other security solutions.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
