Driver: Rising cyberattacks on interconnected EU critical infrastructure
Across Europe, power grids, rail networks, and industrial facilities are more connected than ever, which could translate to large-scale disruptions and make systems more prone to cyberattacks. Operators are prioritizing ICS security to protect essential services and avoid large-scale outages, as incidents increase.
Restraint: High security upgrade costs for legacy European OT systems
Many European plants still depend on older control systems that were designed for reliability rather than security. Adding modern protections often means new hardware, extensive testing, and carefully planned shutdowns. The cost and risk of disrupting daily operations can slow decision-making, even though operators clearly understand the cybersecurity risks involved.
Opportunity: EU investments in secure smart grids and digital infrastructure
Europe’s push toward smart grids, renewable energy, and digital transport is opening new doors for ICS security. Public funding and project guidelines increasingly expect cybersecurity to be part of system design, giving vendors and service providers a chance to embed security early rather than add it later.
Challenge: Securing vendor and third-party remote OT access in Europe
European industrial operators rely heavily on vendors and system integrators for remote maintenance, diagnostics, and upgrades. Managing secure access across multiple third parties, sites, and countries is complex, especially when access is required at short notice. Weak controls can increase exposure to unauthorized access, credential misuse, and supply-chain-driven cyber incidents.

Market Definition
According to Forcepoint, the 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).
