Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) has become essential part of national security in many countries around the world; a broad range of political and administrative initiatives and efforts to improve the security of critical infrastructures have long been underway. This has in turn opened doors for innovators.Shielding infrastructures of national importance and value from an evolving and expansive attack surface is no easy task. Dependency on archaic systems coupled with the lack of security training can spell disaster. It takes a three-pronged approach--involving education, legislation and technology--to protect critical infrastructures. Imparting awareness, training and more importantly, developing a culture for cyber security; along with setting standards for security, encryption and threat information sharing can set the base for the first two prongs. However, sharpening the technology prong is one aspect that leaves CIOs scratch their heads over.The market houses a plethora of solutions pertaining to functional areas such as authentication, analytics, or surveillance to name a few. The Global CIP market is expected to reach a value of 154.59 bn dollars by the end of 2022, growing at a projected CAGR of 8.5 percent during the forecast period of 2017 ­ 2022. From a solution and service seeker's viewpoint, identifying partnerships that best align to their specific requirements have become more imperative than ever.
