Abstract
This IDC study highlights the evolving cybersecurity landscape due to emerging technologies and the rapid adoption of IoT devices and hybrid and multicloud environments and the proliferation of APIs and cloud services. This document emphasizes the need for agencies to partner with experienced providers to address these challenges and achieve holistic security transformation. It also notes the importance of properly reporting, investigating, and remediating data breaches. Key market drivers include the increased attack surface due to IoT and operational technology, a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, and unfunded mandates and required action.
"Federal agencies are managing a wide range of modernization and protection initiatives to ensure mission success and protect the nation's data. Agencies need trusted partners capable of providing a wide range of solutions developed specifically for the challenges federal agencies face," said Aaron Walker, research manager for Worldwide Government Trust, Security, and Resilience program at IDC. "The most comprehensive services portfolios include cybersecurity advisory services; assessment services; professional security services for incident response readiness; governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) advisory services; training services; and purpose-built tools."
