Market Overview:
The global cyber weapon market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing number of cyber-attacks and the rising demand for advanced security solutions across different industries. The global cyber weapon market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into Duqu, Flame (malware), Great Cannon, Mirai (malware), Stuxnet, and Wiper (malware). The Duqu malware was first discovered in 2011; it is a sophisticated piece of malware that was used for espionage purposes. The Flame malware was also discovered in 2011; it is a data-stealing virus that can record keystrokes and steal files from infected systems. The Great Cannon attack tool was used by China in 2015 to launch massive DDoS attacks against GitHub and other websites. Mirai (malware) targets Internet-of-Things devices such as routers, cameras, and DVRs using default passwords; it caused massive outages in 2016 when it was used to launch DDoS attacks against Dyn DNS provider. Stuxnet is a computer worm that targets industrial control systems; it was first discovered in 2010. Wiper (malware) is a disk wiping virus that destroys all data on an infected system’s hard drive.; examples include Shamoon 1 & 2 viruses).
Product Definition:
A cyber weapon is a type of malware that can be used to attack computer systems and networks. Cyber weapons can be used to steal data, disable systems, or even shut down entire networks. They are often very sophisticated and difficult to detect. The importance of cyber weapons is growing as more and more critical infrastructure and businesses move online.
Duqu:
Duqu is an advanced cyber weapon, which was developed by the NSA and Israel's Unit 8200. It's a malware that infects systems and takes control of them. The malware operates through Windows kernel mode and uses NT pipes to inject itself into system processes such as System Security Services (SLS) or Security Support Provider (SSP).
Flame (Malware):
Flame is a malware that infects through Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point and Adobe Acrobat. The initial infection vector for flame consists of malicious macro virus attached with the document file of Microsoft Office which in turn execute the commands when opened by end-user.
The Flame malware was first detected in 2010 and since then it has affected millions of computers across the globe.
Application Insights:
The government organizations application segment accounted for the largest share of over 60.0% in 2017. The governments and public-sector organizations are under constant threat of cyberattacks which can prove to be fatal if not handled properly. An organization's infrastructure is its most vital asset and hence, it should be protected at all costs from cyberattacks so that it remains operational and reliable for the intended purpose throughout the duration of time.
Government or public-sector organization is considered as a prime target by various criminal elements owing to its critical nature in any given country which makes it susceptible to external attacks through cyberspace; this has led to an increased need for cybersecurity within these sectors across different countries around the world, thus driving their demand over other applications segments such as military or military-related organizations etcetera.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the market in terms of revenue share in 2016. The growth can be attributed to the presence of a large number of key industry players and increased adoption across several sectors such as government, military, public utilities, financial sector. Moreover, increasing cyber-attacks have led to an increase in spending on cybersecurity solutions which is expected to drive regional demand over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a lucrative rate over the next eight years owing to increasing investments by governments for developing advanced technologies for warfare purposes coupled with growing awareness among people regarding their online privacy and security. This has resulted into increased adoption across various sectors such as government organizations, military & defense forces along with communication networks essential services). The proliferation of smartphones has also led into an increase in mobile malware attacks that target critical infrastructure systems thereby driving regional demand over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for cyber weapons from the military and intelligence communities in developed countries
- Proliferation of cyber attacks and data breaches, which is driving demand for cyber weapons among businesses and governments
- Rapid advancements in technology that are making it easier to develop sophisticated cyber weapons
- Growing number of nation-states that are investing in their own offensive cyber capabilities
- Increased awareness of the value of cybersecurity and the potential consequences of a successful cyber attack
