Cyber Security in Smart Grid - Market Size, Key Issues, Regulations and Outlook to 2020

China emerged as the leading smart grid cyber security market in 2011, accounting for nearly a quarter of the global market. The market in China was driven by its ongoing initiative to implement smart grid technologies, which has catapulted the market into a high-growth phase. This phase is expected to continue until 2015 when the construction phase of smart grids in China comes to an end. The growth of the smart grid cyber security market in China will dwarf the growth of the global market during the 2012-2020 period. It is unlikely that any other regional markets will surpass China during this period.

US Mobile Security: State of the Industry

Top security concerns plaguing Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) these days include: recent growth of "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD); a lack of device-based security standards; mobile application security; and security concerns related to mobile device clients, particularly with regard to peer-to-peer applications.

The tension between IT control and end-user choice surfaced in the study results, and Galvin Consulting found that IT control is generally ranked higher than end-user choice among CISOs. Nevertheless, security executives also recognize the benefits of mobile devices in terms of business enablement. The use of mobile tools in critical business logic and business work flow is only expected to accelerate.

As mobile devices become more ubiquitous, CISOs are expected to devote a higher percentage of their IT budget to mobile security. While a majority of CISOs are spending five percent or less of their IT budgets on mobile security currently, that percentage is expected to shift in the next 12 months, when a majority of security executives report that they will spend between six and 10% of their budgets on mobile security.
