Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security is one of the most important and widely used terminologies across the national critical infrastructures in developed and the developing nations. ICS security can be defined as the ability of organizations to secure their automation processes and related critical information from cyber intrusions for undisrupted and sustained productivity of utilities, grids, transportation systems and manufacturing sector.

Securing infrastructure's distribution networks has become very important and most of the companies are taking firm measures to protect them. This need for securing the infrastructures and processes has increased because of the growing terrorist threats and sophisticated cyber crimes. These key assets play an important role in any countries development and any kind of disruption across these would lead to loss of billions of dollars and political unrest. Along with the outside attacks, there are always threats of insider attacks and lack of comprehensive solutions for securing the infrastructures.

Many countries have framed strict regulations and compliances for control system's security. There are international bodies for regulating and standardizing the compliances as well. This issue of increased attacks, strict government policies and regulations has further encouraged the use of security technologies across the ICS market. There are companies which provide sophisticated automation and control system security solutions which include highly sophisticated intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption systems and also continuous monitoring systems.

Many companies also provide network security and cyber security solutions for preventing the complicated cyber attacks, thus securing the plants from such attacks and keep the processes uninterrupted. This report gives detailed insights into the global Industrial Control Systems security market split across various regions, type of technologies, type of verticals and type of professional services.

While the ICS security technologies includes Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Intrusion Detection Systems/Intrusion Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), firewall, antivirus/malware, virtualization security, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), application whitelisting, Unified Threat Management (UTM), update and patch management and database activity monitoring; type of verticals include power, energy and utilities, transportation systems, chemical and manufacturing and other critical infrastructures; type of professional services include Risk management services, design, integration and consulting, managed services, policy and procedure consulting and audit and reporting services. The report also emphasizes on key adoption trends, future opportunities and business cases in this innovative market.
