What is the current situation and prospect of information security?

Internet plus digital economy drives global information security demand.

The rapid development and popularization of global Internet technology has brought about the continuous improvement of Internet penetration rate. According to the data released by the World Bank, the global Internet penetration rate was 56.73% in 20 19. According to the statistics of the Internet world, the global Internet penetration rate reached 65.0% in 20021year, which was 40.1/percentage point higher than that in 2009.

With the vigorous development of new technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things, the global digital economy has entered a stage of rapid development. According to the development trend of global digital economy, the scale of global digital economy in 20021year is estimated to be 3.39 billion US dollars.

In terms of specific market demand, with the increase of Internet penetration rate and the acceleration of the digital economy-related layout process in various countries, the global information security demand has expanded, and the sales scale of major enterprises has also shown an increasing trend. According to the data, during the period from 20 17 to 20021year, the overall operating income of representative enterprises in the global information security industry showed an increasing trend (McAfee completed privatization in 20021year, and its operating income declined). In recent years, with the increasingly severe and complex network security situation, countries around the world have paid unprecedented attention to network security, and the network security supervision policies have become increasingly strict. At the same time, thanks to the surge of Internet traffic under the COVID-19 epidemic, there is a strong demand for security tools and services based on cloud computing, and there is a strong demand in the global information security market.

The global information security market has exceeded $654.38+050 billion, and may maintain a growth rate of 654.38+00.8% in the future.

According to Gartner data, the global information security market will be about 654.38+03 billion US dollars in 2020. Due to the global spread of COVID-19 epidemic, the overall growth rate is lower than that of 2065.438+09 in the same period. In 20021year, with the global epidemic effectively controlled, the long-term demand for telecommuting technology and cloud security in the market is superimposed. According to Gartner data, the global information security industry in 20021year exceeded150 billion US dollars.

In the future, as countries around the world strengthen internal behavior monitoring and prevention, the supply of information security industry will develop from a single product to an overall solution, and the scale of related markets will further expand. According to Gartner data, the global information security service market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 10.8% from 2020 to 2025, and the global information security service market is expected to exceed $280 billion by 2027.
