The Market for Security
The market for cybersecurity has grown rapidly over the last few years.
Antivirus Effectiveness
Thankfully,antivirus programsare good at their job.
Plus, most antivirus programs can run discreetly in the background without affecting the machines performance.
Online threats not only expose the business but also any customers that use its services.
Government organizations arent safe, either.
Where are these threats coming from?
The usual entry point is through applications like infected Microsoft Office files.
Web browsers come in second, thanks to more complex yet vulnerable features incorporated into them.
The worldwide market for mobile rig security software is about $3.4 billion in revenue.
The corporate world isnt slacking either.
However, trojans and viruses are still a threat.
Android, in particular, is a rather large target for cybercriminals thanks to its open-source nature (i.e.
apps can be downloaded from essentially anywhere).
Understandably, this digital trend has seen activity in the antivirus market.
Thats why the market for automotive antivirus was estimated at $713 million in 2020.
Infection rates will continue to climb as new threats like ransomware and spyware are growing in prevalence.
