Most nation-states place a high priority on the military
Most nation-states place a high priority on the military since it can be compromised through cyberattacks that are frequently impossible to identify the source of. Cyber-attacks are extremely expensive, have a noticeable effect on the economy, and reduce public confidence in the ability of businesses and the government to protect customer information while still delivering goods and services. Many wars will be fought in the upcoming years using computers, servers, and electronic weapons. Cyber technology frequently combines two functions: offensive and defensive, nonviolent and violent, and legal and unlawful.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Military Cyber Security Market?
Businesses and employees are being pushed like never before to alter the way we work and communicate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses are being compelled to quickly digitise their business processes, establish flexible and remote work environments, communicate with clients online, and handle employee management primarily through digital channels. This presents an opportunity for the cybersecurity industry to respond to the rapidly rising volume of cyberattacks and the rising number of companies needing cybersecurity services. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic affected our lives, there was already a shortage of cybersecurity professionals. Cybersecurity staffing shortages affected nearly two thirds of organisations in 2019, with an estimated 500,000 professionals needed in the U.S. alone.
