Driver: 5G-driven industrial automation expanding OT exposure
Industrial automation is expanding across production environments. Smart factories and connected machines rely increasingly on real-time data exchange. Greater connectivity increases exposure across OT networks. This is driving demand for stronger segmentation, access control, and continuous monitoring in ICS environments.
Restraint: Mixed legacy and modern systems make upgrades difficult
Alongside newer digital platforms, many industrial sites in the Asia Pacific region operate legacy control systems. Upgrading older systems is challenging because they often lack basic security support. Integrating security without disrupting operations remains costly. Across critical sectors, this slows the pace of ICS security deployment.
Opportunity: Growth of AI-based predictive maintenance requiring secure OT data
The demand for secure operational technology (OT) data collection is escalating, driven by the expansion of AI-based predictive maintenance. To forecast failures and diminish downtime, industrial operators depend on sensor data, equipment logs, and control signals. It is imperative to guarantee precise predictions, safe operations, and dependable maintenance decisions in order to safeguard this data from tampering and cyber threats.
Challenge: Multiple vendors increase third-party access risks
Industrial operators in Asia Pacific depend on multiple vendors for system support. Remote and on-site access is required for maintenance activities. Managing access rights remains complex. Weak controls increase the risk of unauthorized activity. This makes identity management and session monitoring critical in OT environments.

Market Definition
According to Forcepoint, industrial control systems can consist of a complex network of interactive control systems or a small number of controllers. These systems receive information from remote sensors that measure and monitor process variables. From control valves to pressure gauges, an ICS sends commands and receives alerts from many different components. ICS security is a security framework that protects these systems against accidental or intentional breaches and risks.
ICS security solutions consist of a comprehensive array of technologies such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS), anti-malware/antivirus, firewall, virtualization security, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), SCADA encryption, Unified Threat Management (UTM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Identity and Access Management (IAM).
