Buffer overflow represents the highest share of vulnerabilities in ICS.

According to the report, one of the key drivers for market growth will be the rise in industrial control system cyber threat. The rise in cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure has resulted in cyber security, which has become a prime concern among ICS vendors and end-users. These strategic attacks are aimed at causing disruption of industrial activity for monetary, political, or social gains and competitive or even personal grievance. Cyber-attacks are primarily aimed at ICS, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and HMI, through loopholes, which can include inadequate firewalls, lack of network segmentation, and unsecured remote access.

Further, the report states that lack of enforceable security laws will be a challenge for the market. Multiple standards and guidelines exist for...
