Information Security in 2024

In the modern information world, data protection is of particular importance. This is extremely relevant in the current conditions, when information is of truly strategic importance.

Next, we will talk about the current state of the Russian cybersecurity market, its trends and prospects.

Current situation on the Russian information security market

Experts from the Center for Strategic Research calculated that in 2023, the volume of the Russian cybersecurity market exceeded 248 billion rubles . This is more than 28% more than in 2022.

The significant growth of the domestic information security market is caused by the increase in budgets of Russian companies allocated for these purposes: thus, almost 40% of enterprises and organizations from various industries have increased investments in cybersecurity. The reason for the growth in expenses is the increase in the activity of hackers, who are now seeking to obtain information not only from specific companies or departments, but also attack service providers and corporate platforms.

Compared to 2022, the ratio between services and information security tools remained virtually unchanged: 27% and 73%, respectively, versus 26% and 74% a year earlier. It was the data security tools segment that showed the greatest growth in 2023 – 93.8% .

In 2023, the share of Russian vendors in the total cybersecurity market increased to 89% , while in 2022 this figure was 70%. This trend is caused by both the strategic importance of the information security sphere and the high quality of products from domestic developers. The leading positions in this segment are occupied by Kaspersky Lab and Positive Technologies. It is also worth noting such companies as Solar Group, InfoTeKS, User Gate, BI.ZONE, Security Code, Innostage Group, Jet Infosystems.

Current trends in the domestic cybersecurity market

One of the main trends in both the global and domestic cybersecurity markets is the complexity and flexibility of the solutions offered . A comprehensive solution includes an assessment of current security, the direct construction of security systems, as well as monitoring and response to various incidents. At the same time, it can be adapted to the specifics of a particular industry or enterprise.

In the field of cybersecurity, it is important to be one or several steps ahead of the attackers. Therefore, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are of particular importance for the industry . They allow to significantly improve the quality of forecasting and preventing cyber threats of various kinds.

Blockchain technology plays an important role in protecting information . It allows you to reliably protect data and banking transactions from unauthorized access and interference.

In recent years, remote and hybrid work formats have become increasingly widespread. The catalyst for this process was the coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, the importance of solutions aimed at ensuring the security of cloud storage and mobile devices has grown .

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are increasingly used both in everyday life and at work. Of course, “smart” gadgets make life more comfortable and work processes more efficient. At the same time, their use increases the variability of cyber attacks. Therefore, IoT security technologies are becoming increasingly popular .

Prospects for the Russian Cybersecurity Market

In the next five years , we should expect further dynamic growth of the domestic market of cybersecurity systems. Thus, CSR experts predict in their study that from 2024 to 2028, the average annual growth rate of this market will be about 23.6% , which is significantly higher than global indicators. It is expected that by 2028, the volume of the Russian market of cybersecurity systems will grow to 715 billion rubles .

We should also expect further growth in the share of domestic vendors . According to the CSR, this figure will reach 95% by 2028. Moreover, domestic solutions are already not inferior, and in some respects even surpass foreign analogues. Their use will help avoid the risks of information leakage.

In terms of products, we should expect further growth in demand for integrated solutions . Moreover, this concerns not only high-tech industries (military-industrial complex, mechanical engineering, mining industry, e-commerce), but also small and medium businesses, where it is important to ensure not only high security, but also the availability of the software offered.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analysis will be increasingly used every year . Such technologies will allow us to quickly respond to emerging challenges and improve the effectiveness of protection.

Why you should take part in Securika Moscow

The Russian cybersecurity market has demonstrated significant growth rates in recent years and is not going to slow down in the near future. Therefore, entering it is of interest to both promising players and companies that have already accumulated some experience and want to try their hand at new segments. And an excellent chance to make a name for yourself and demonstrate your solutions to the target audience is participation in the Securika Moscow exhibition .

For 29 years, this event has been the largest exhibition of technical security equipment and equipment for ensuring security and fire safety in Russia. The demand for the event is emphasized by the constant growth in the number of visitors: thus, in 2024, 20,379 specialists from 81 regions of Russia and 22 countries of the world visited the exhibition. It is worth noting that 93% of visitors influence purchasing decisions, and 38% have a purchasing budget of 20 million rubles. It is also important to emphasize that the section of the exhibition dedicated to information security was among the TOP most popular: 4,313 specialists ( 32% of the total number of visitors) were interested in it.

In addition, information security market players can find new partners among the participants of the exhibition. From year to year, leading manufacturers and suppliers of video surveillance, access control systems, alarms and notifications, fire extinguishing equipment and perimeter security take part in it. These companies are interested in the relevant products and can potentially become long-term partners.

Therefore, if your company is engaged in the development or supply of cybersecurity solutions, then participation in the 30th International Exhibition of Technical Security Equipment and Equipment for Security and Fire Protection Securika Moscow (April 23-25, 2025, Moscow, Crocus Expo IEC, Pavilion 3) will allow you to solve several important business tasks at once: get acquainted with current trends and development prospects of the industry, find new partners and expand the geography of sales.
