This is a part of the 2019-2021 Three-Year Plan for Information Technology in Public Administration undertaken by the Italian Government. Such initiatives are expected to boost market growth.
- However, Nordic companies are accelerating data migration to the cloud, crafting new digital systems catering to cars, and increasing the number of endpoints within their network architecture. Their developing dependence on third-party suppliers and service providers has presented attackers with new avenues into supply chains.


United Kingdom Expected to Witness Significant Market Share


- The National Cyber Security Strategy adopted by the United Kingdom for 2016-2021 is a five-year plan of investing GBP 1.9 billion to defend systems and infrastructure by protecting both companies and its citizens by making the country resilient to cyber threats by 2021. This body functions as a bridge to provide proper guide and support involving cyber threats between various industries exposed to it and the government. This is expected to create innovations and drive more job opportunities for cyber security professionals.
- Also, in June 2020, O2 UK announced the completion of a project to support the development of cybersecurity testing capabilities funded by Innovate UK, the UK Government-funded innovation agency, and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV). During the 12-week Baselining, Automation, and Response for CAV Testbed (BeARCAT) cybersecurity project, O2 granted access to its technical subject matter experts, working alongside partners such as technology company Cisco, Millbrook Proving Ground, and Warwick Manufacturing Group, the engineering, manufacturing, and technology department at the University of Warwick.
- The increased rate of cybercrimes has driven the focus of developing new solutions and has characterized the country's investment landscape. For instance, Bridewell Consulting, a cyber security services company dealing with Managed Detection Response and Security Operations Centre, acknowledged multi-million dollar investment from Growth Capital Partners, a private equity firm to expand its operations in the UK and in the rest of Europe.
- Further, in October 2021, Trustonic joined the Renesas R-Car Consortium to expand the availability of cybersecurity solutions in the connected vehicle market. Trustonic and other R-Car Consortium members will create new security solutions and generate value for those in the ecosystem by collaborating as part of this industry forum.
