Date Published: Jan 2012 * * * * * * Cyber-Security Market - Global Forecast & Trends (2012 ? 2017) by Advanced Technologies, Geographical Analysis & Competitive Landscape Cyber Security is projected to be among the fastest growing segments of the Information Technology (IT) sector in the next 3 to 5 years, with significant potential investments from companies to secure their computing environment. Cyber security providers offer systematic method to guarantee vulnerabilities and threats are blocked at each layer through application of industry compliant security products and services.
The Cyber Security Market report focuses on a wide array of technology & solutions specifically used for different applications in the cyber security scenario, depending on their features and performance. The security types market is on the rise due to increased adoption of cloud computing, networks, data centers, and wireless communication devices. Whereas, the service side is driven by the need to service cyber security installations with security operations, managed security services, and consulting services. In all countries, the private sector accounts for most of the cyber security spending, with an exception of the U.S., where government spending is about equivalent to that of the private sector.
Cyber Security market in 2011 was worth $63.7 billion, and is expected to grow to about $120.1 billion by 2017. It is expected to have a healthy CAGR of 11.3% from 2012 to 2017. North America, Western Europe, and APAC regions are emerging market, whereas Latin America, Middle East & Africa, and Eastern Europe regions are considered as high growth markets. In 2011, North America accounted for about 40.1% of the global revenue, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2012 to 2017. Western Europe and APAC are estimated to contribute $28.1 billion and $25.9 billion, respectively, by 2017; at a CAGR of 10.1% and 13.4%, from 2012 to 2017.
The report deals with the market trends in Cyber Security and the growth associated with it. It also analysis the various factors that will drive and restrain the market over the next 5 years.Published By: MarketsandMarkets

Crash
Course in Cryptography The purpose of cryptography is to
make data storage and transmission secure. Security is
achieved by means of encryption, that is, converting a
clear-text message (plain text) into a data stream which looks
like a meaningless and random sequence of bits (cipher text).

Managing
Network Security (PDF, 10/06) Network security needs to be
addressed using a coherent approach.
Improving
WLAN security (2002) Security is one of the most pressing
issues for WLANs, particularly for the 802.11b networks, also
named WiFi, whose WEP (Wired Equivalent Protocol) security
protocol has proven to be limited. Researchers have identified
holes in WEP that allow hackers to learn the keys used to
encrypt 802.11b, and use widely available hacking software to
decode the WEP encryption. |

Wireless
Security: Guess Who's Listening (5/01) Hacking and
corporate espionage have been around since the first
computers, but thanks to the wonderful world of wireless
communications, it's now possible to pluck information out of
thin air. In some cases, it's about as easy as tuning in to
your favorite radio program. Because nothing is actually taken
or disturbed--just listened to--corporations often don't know
anything has been stolen. |

Security Auditor (WSA) WSA is an IBM research prototype of

proper security configuration, to help network administrators
close any vulnerabilities before the hackers try to break in.
Going
up the wireless stack (12/01) When broadcasting your data
through the air, watch out for the man in the middle. Think
you've got a trusted wireless connection to a trusted party?
Don't be too sure. Attackers can use a technique known as ARP
spoofing to convince two machines that they are communicating
with each other, when both are actually connected to a third
computer under hostile control. Larry Loeb explains how
crackers can implement such so-called man-in-the-middle
attacks -- and how you can stop them.

known as security evaluation and it is carried out against
standardised criteria to a formalised methodology. The
criteria lay down a number of degrees of rigour known as
Assurance Levels. Certificates are issued by the Scheme for
products meeting the requirements for a claimed level of
assurance. United Kingdom certificates are recognised in many
countries of the world. |

Use
port knocking to bypass firewall rules and keep security
intact (7/05) Firewalls are a long-standing basic security
measure that organisations use to isolate networks from the
Internet. Whether it's a standalone hardware firewall, one of
the various host-based systems such as ZoneAlarm, or the
Windows Firewall system included with Windows XP Service Pack
2, these devices go a long way toward protecting networks from
unwanted traffic, including viruses, Trojans, and hackers.
However, while firewalls add an extra layer of network
security, they can often inhibit the proper operation or
administration of a computer system or network hardware. For
example, firewalls typically present a problem when vendors
require Internet access to an organisation's internal computer
system, a particularly common occurrence when it comes to
support requests... |

Passport to Trouble The current implementation of
Passport, ignoring the new Windows XP specific functionality
for the moment, is wholly inadequate to this task. It does not
allow for sufficient control over the use of authentication
information by a user and, where current technologies fall
short of the ideal, it trades off security in favor of
convenience in a way that leaves users vulnerable. |

Weaknesses in the Key
Scheduling Algorithm of RC4 (PDF) In this paper we present
several weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4, and
describe their cryptanalytic significance. We identify a large
number of weak keys, in which knowledge of a small number of
key bits suffices to determine many state and output bits with
non-negligible probability. We use these weak keys to
construct new distinguishers for RC4, and to mount related key
attacks with practical complexities. |

Cryptography
The expansion of the connectivity of computers make ways of
protecting data and messages from tampering or reading
important. Even the US courts have ruled that there exists no

remain private actually do so. One of the techniques for
ensuring privacy of files and communications is

PGP
Attacks PGP is the most widely used hybrid cryptosystem
around today. There have been MANY rumours regarding its
security (or lack there of). These have ranged from one that
PRZ was coerced by the Gov't into placing backdoors into PGP,
to one the NSA has the ability to break RSA or IDEA in a
reasonable amount of time, and so on. While I cannot confirm
or deny these rumours with 100% certainty, I really doubt that
either is true. This FAQ, while not in the 'traditional FAQ
format', answers some questions about the security of PGP and

InfoWorld Wireless vendors gear up for small-cell boom
Adding small cells to mobile networks made up of full-sized base stations should help to fuel more voice and data calls, but outdoors, linking those dispersed cells to wired networks presents its own problems. Connecting a high-capacity data line to a cell mounted on a lamp post or a telephone pole isn't as easy as wiring up a cell tower. Power, security and wiring are all harder to arrange, vendors and analysts say. The problems are unique to outdoor small cells, versus indoor ones tha...
IEEE Cross-Domain Privacy-Preserving Cooperative Firewall Optimization
Firewalls have been widely deployed on the Internet for securing private networks. A firewall checks each incoming or outgoing packet to decide whether to accept or discard the packet based on its policy. Optimizing firewall policies is crucial for improving network performance. Prior work on firewall optimization focuses on either intrafirewall or interfirewall optimization within one administrative domain where the privacy of firewall policies is not a concern. This paper explores interfirewal...
