Worldwide VPN market to reach $75.59 billion by 2027

/in


The global VPN market was valued at $25.41 Billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $75.59 Billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 14.7% from 2020 to 2027, Valuates Reports reveals.

VPN market

Major factors driving the growth of VPN market size, increase in data security concerns, rise in advanced & complex cyber threats, and an upsurge in usage of mobile & wireless devices within organizations.

This study includes the analytical depiction of the virtual private network market forecast and trends to determine the imminent investment pockets.

Trends influencing the VPN market size

The upsurge in usage of mobile and wireless devices is expected to drive the growth of the VPN market size. When more and more work transactions are performed by mobile devices, security is becoming a major concern. Mobile VPN technology and other mobile security products are considered key components as more mobile devices reach the workplace.

The VPN market size is rising as businesses implement BYOD policies to improve efficiency and reduce cost. The Private Network Tool ensures that remote staff is safely linked to corporate networks, thus shielding BYOD devices from malicious cyber-attacks.

The rise in advanced and complex cyber threats is expected to fuel the VPN market size. Cybercriminals have shown that they can easily take advantage of users communicating via hotspots or unsecured networks, although organizations have little protection against such attacks.

Hackers are actively searching for new vulnerabilities to exploit, and businesses need to be prepared for these zero-day attacks. The use of VPN and the compliance of mobile endpoint organizational policies help prevent these attacks.

COVID-19 impact on VPN market

As a result of COVID-19, businesses have already started to adjust their digital transformation priorities and concentrate on addressing shifts in network needs. VPN connections are important for workers when working remotely and are often the IT team’s first stage in enabling a virtual workforce.

For remote employees, the ability to access data at all times is critical. The ability to access the internet via improved wireless technology has allowed applications to be downloaded…

Cyberconflict: How it can reach beyond government systems, and how to protect your business

Cyberconflict is an unfortunate growing trend impacting businesses and governments. Learn the risks and possible solutions from an industry expert.

Recently, I found out the hard way that cyberattacks aren’t relegated merely to high-profile businesses nor engaged in by shadowy foreign agents. They can happen right here in your town.

SEE: Zero trust security: A cheat sheet (free PDF) (TechRepublic)

That’s what happened to my teenagers’ school system at a town in Massachusetts when someone engaged in a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against the Wi-Fi network. It was so crippling and pervasive that the school system had to bring in cybersecurity experts to resolve the problem. 

The consensus seemed to be that the attacker had an agenda to thwart the virtual learning the students were engaged in and apparently force all the kids back to school full time for whatever reason.

This criminal activity did not succeed, fortunately, and was brought to a halt without identifying the perpetrator(s), but it got me thinking about the concept of weaponizing cybersecurity in this manner to generate conflict.

I spoke with Michael Schenck, director of Security Services at Kaytuso, a cybersecurity service provider about the concept, and he told me about the term “cyberconflict.”

Scott Matteson: What is cyberconflict?

Michael Schenck: [Cyberconflict is] cyberattacks that have a background in international relations or bring about consequences that can escalate to a political and diplomatic level.

Cyberattacks on trust are more worrying than those intended to produce physical effects. Attackers find it easier, and perhaps more effective, to weaken the bonds of military alliance rather than go after fighter jets, or corrupt financial data rather than destroy banks’ computers.

Cyberattacks on trust and integrity have a much lower threshold, are harder to detect and deter, and can cascade through interconnected systems.

Imperial couple reach out to health care workers online : The Asahi Shimbun

/in


With the novel coronavirus pandemic barring direct engagement with people, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako are switching their interactions with the public in a manner picture-perfect for the pandemic.

On Nov. 18, the imperial couple held a videoconference with health care workers at various hospitals around Japan dealing with the pandemic.

From the Akasaka Imperial Residence in Tokyo, Naruhito and Masako watched and conversed with doctors and nurses in such areas as northern Hokkaido and Okinawa Prefecture in the south using a 50-inch monitor.

Imperial Household Agency officials said it was the first time the emperor and empress used an online system to interact with the public.

The session began with Yukio Honma, head of the Japanese Red Cross Medical Center, based in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward. He explained how his hospital was treating COVID-19 patients. The medical center is one of the medical institutions designated specifically to handle the novel coronavirus.

According to Hiroki Tomita, a vice president of the Japanese Red Cross Society, Naruhito told Masako that the display gave him the impression those he was speaking to were right in front of him.

Doctors and nurses from three hospitals affiliated with the Japanese Red Cross Society spoke with the imperial couple through the videoconferencing system. The hospitals were located in Hokkaido, Fukushima Prefecture and Okinawa.

The imperial couple expressed their deep respect for the various activities carried out so far by the health care professionals. Masako also said she was worried about the difficulties facing those working on the front lines of the pandemic.

Imperial Household Agency officials said the imperial couple had long indicated their desire to thank those treating COVID-19 patients. But as having them visit a hospital in person would have burdened the staff, it was decided to hold the videoconference.

Initially, agency officials were less than enthusiastic about using online systems. with one high-ranking official saying, “It is important for the emperor and empress to directly meet with and talk to people to ensure that their thoughts are passed on.”
