Executive Overview
The threat landscape for industrial cybersecurity is becoming increasingly perilous. The frequency of cyber-attacks on industrial plants and critical infrastructure has escalated in recent years. Concurrently, the challenge of sourcing qualified cyber security personnel has intensified, as the automation architecture in industrial plants diverges significantly from traditional IT systems. Although there are established IT software tools capable of early detection of network infrastructure attacks, these tools present operational difficulties for industrial users.
This is accelerating growth in the already burgeoning market for industrial cybersecurity services, encompassing a range of services designed to assist users in securing their networks, from assessment and implementation to managed services and post-attack recovery services.
Service offerings often include specialized applications for anomaly detection in networks and verification of network infrastructure compliance with applicable guidelines. This report aims to assist users in creating a shortlist of service providers that meet their specific requirements for the European marketplace. Competitors for industrial cybersecurity services vary widely in terms of their geographic coverage, and this report is designed to provide a perspective specifically for the European market. This research is the result of conversations with European end users, service providers, and trade organizations. Further details on methodology are available later in this report.
To address the complex challenge of selecting appropriate service providers in the European market, ARC has explored the requirements of the market and mapped it with the solutions provided by leading cybersecurity service providers. The aim of this research is to understand how well these companies are fulfilling the need to enable the required level of cybersecurity. This report examines leading European service providers by service capabilities in various domains and their ability to provide supplemental software solutions and required domain expertise in areas such as response planning, managed services, industry coverage, and more. This report is not meant to serve as a comprehensive guide to all service providers and only serves as a guide to planning and purchasing that can be expanded upon as part of a service provider selection process. ARC does not endorse the selection of any specific supplier.
