| | DECEMBER 20196CIOReviewIn today's business environment, there is a significant leap in the utilization of digital solutions, connected devices, and IT systems due to rapid advancements in technologies. The communication between various business-critical applications and data across platforms, devices, and users is the foundation on which a digital infrastructure is based upon. That being said, with data explosion, chances of data breaches at every level have amplified considerably. As Government agencies and energy infrastructure industries handle a country's critical infrastructure, they are more susceptible to such outbreaks, putting confidential business data and personnel information at stake. Every day cybercriminals are adopting advanced and innovative hacking techniques to penetrate a company's infrastructure, rendering traditional security solutions useless, and gain access to critical information.For instance, a cyber-attack on a natural gas company might lead to drop in electrical power generation, which in turn can force a shutdown of the computerized command and control units affecting transportation, communication, and emergency services. The increased frequency of cyber-attacks on energy infrastructures across the globe has forced the operators to protect their networks and strengthen security solutions. Furthermore, the automation solution providers across the world are focusing on developing comprehensive solutions through collaboration with security experts, thus fueling the demand for advanced Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) solutions and services across various industries.The global CIP market is expected to reach an estimated value of 155 Billion dollars by the end of 2022, with growth projected at CAGR of 8.5 percent. As the market is flooded with a plethora of solutions pertaining to functional areas such as authentication, analytics, and surveillance to name a few, enterprises often find it complicated to choose the right vendor for their outsourcing needs. To assist companies in the critical infrastructure protection vendors that best suit their requirements, CIOReview presents its special edition on CIP, featuring insights from industry thought leaders and technologies from innovative solution providers who reign the space.
