Macroeconomic Overview

The global economy is expected to settle into a pattern of "steady" growth. Despite recent challenges such as high interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical tensions, the 3.2% growth rate for 2024 and 2025 indicates resilience as we settle into a new normal after the pandemic. The economic pick-up is not uniform. Developed economies will likely see a slight acceleration from 1.7% growth in 2024 to 1.8% in 2025, while emerging markets and developing economies' growth rates are anticipated to remain stable. There's a sense of optimism emerging among business leaders. In the US, CEO confidence has risen for two quarters in a row, with recession fears fading significantly. European CEOs and China-based CEOs of US and European companies are also slightly more optimistic, with a more positive outlook on the short-term economic situation. However, cautious optimism in encouraged–market projections could shift notably depending on the outcome of the upcoming US presidential elections.

To combat inflation, central banks raised interest rates to levels considered restrictive to economic growth. However, with global inflation rates falling and projected to reach 4.4% by 2025, the IMF suggests these interest rates are nearing their peak. This normalization in interest rates and inflation eases the financial burden on businesses and consumers, potentially spurring an uptick in consumer activity and further investments from businesses. Leading economists are forecasting that advanced economies will achieve their inflation targets sooner than emerging markets. This recovery could be due to a combination of factors, such as stronger economic fundamentals and more robust policy responses. In recent months, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and European Central Bank (ECB) lowered their interest rates. This is a positive sign for further cuts, with other markets following the impact of these rates closely. Inflation & Interest Rates Stabilizing

Dry powder for VC and PE has reached record levels, exceeding $700 billion for VCs and $1.5 trillion for PEs. This abundance of available capital is particularly of interest for fintech companies, with vast capital available for both fundraising and exits. Additionally, fintech-focused VCs are on the rise, with several significant fundraising rounds targeting various segments. However, converting this dry powder into actual investments may rely on the resurgence of strong exit opportunities for VCs through IPOs or M&A activity – something that is picking up significantly in 2024.

Cybersecurity Industry Overview

The State of Cybersecurity

The cybersecurity landscape has become even more complex and crucial in recent years and that trend will only continue. Polarization, armed conflicts, and economic uncertainty marked 2023. This backdrop likely intensifies the need for robust cybersecurity measures as countries and organizations face potential threats from various actors. These evolving threats, along with technological advancements, drive significant transformations across the industry. One notable shift is the move from isolated security tools to integrated ecosystems and a holistic approach to security, focusing on data visibility and access. AI, machine learning, and quantum computing are reshaping these capabilities. While these technologies offer new opportunities, they also introduce new challenges and vulnerabilities. Despite these challenges, the cybersecurity economy experienced exponential growth, outpacing both the overall global economy and the tech sector. This growth underscores the increasing recognition of cybersecurity as a critical investment area.

Issues Shaping the Industry

Cloud Security The amount of data stored in the cloud will reach 100 zettabytes by 2025, analysts predict. This reflects 50% of the world’s data, up from about 25% in 2015. Growing reliance on cloud services means robust security measures built for cloud environments are increasingly paramount. Rise of AI Over the next two years, generative AI is expected to have a significant impact on cybersecurity, with attackers likely to have an advantage over defenders. Building cyber resilience through preparation and recovery strategies is becoming increasingly important in the face of these threats.

Regulatory Complexity As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, governments are likely to implement stricter data privacy regulations. Navigating these complex regulatory frameworks remains a significant challenge for organizations, driving the need for compliance-focused cybersecurity strategies. IoT & IIoT Security The proliferation of IoT and Industrial IoT devices brings both greater connectivity and a growing need to address cybersecurity in these interconnected systems, especially amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Zero Trust Adoption Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that requires all users to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validating security configurations while accessing data. Organizations increasingly use this approach to help mitigate risks and thwart unauthorized access attempts, ensuring a more secure environment for sensitive data. Board-Level Concern In the face of high-profile data leaks, cybersecurity is gaining more attention at the highest levels of organizations. Boards recognize it as a strategic priority and are actively investing to safeguard sensitive information.

The Global Divide

Two core factors drive the divide: the increasing cost of accessing adequate cyber services, tools and talent, and the early adoption of cutting-edge technology by the largest organizations in the ecosystem. As a result, the least capable organizations are perpetually unable to keep up with the curve, falling further behind and threatening the integrity of the entire ecosystem. Disparity across geographies is further reflected in the analysis. This global resilience gap tends to mirror other global development indicators—Latin America and Africa report the lowest number of self-reported cyber-resilient organizations, while North America and Europe report the highest. Conversely, Latin America and Africa reported the highest number of insufficiently cyber- resilient organizations, while North America and Europe reported the lowest number.

In 2022, the cybersecurity economy grew twice as fast as the world economy. In 2023, it grew four times faster. Although organizational investment in cyber resilience is on the rise overall, rapid innovation and growth often lead to uneven development. Generally, the largest and most developed economies reap the rewards of new technologies, while less developed nations, sectors, and communities continue to fall behind. Rapid technological growth, while benefiting many in terms of access, innovation, and collaboration, also creates systemic inequity in the global cybersecurity economy. This highlights a pronounced disparity in capability among organizations within its markets. Projections show the gap between organizations resilient enough to thrive and those struggling to survive is widening at an alarming rate.

Regulatory Landscape Accelerates One of the most significant trends shaping the cybersecurity landscape in 2024 is the increasing stringency of regulatory compliance requirements. Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are recognizing the need for more comprehensive cybersecurity measures and enacting stricter regulations to enforce them. Data protection regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) have already set the tone for stringent data protection standards. In 2024, we can expect more countries to follow suit. This will create a complex web of compliance requirements for multinational organizations and elevate the issue of cross-border data transfer to a critical level. Regulations such as the Schrems II ruling in Europe have already raised concerns about the legality of transferring data between jurisdictions. Companies will need to find secure and compliant ways to transfer data internationally. Further, governments are increasingly concerned about the security of supply chains, especially in critical industries like healthcare and defense. Regulations will require organizations to ensure the cybersecurity of their suppliers and partners is as robust as their own. Regulations also demand fast, efficient, and transparent reporting of cybersecurity incidents. Organizations will need to maintain both proactive defense systems and robust incident response plans to comply with these requirements.

Looking Ahead

The continuing digitization of the global economy brings ever-increasing numbers of cyberattacks and presents cybersecurity providers with compelling opportunities. The adoption of cloud services and other emerging technologies, such as AI, ML, and blockchain, constantly exposes us to new security vulnerabilities that require advanced cybersecurity solutions. This is evident with the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, like ransomware, phishing, and the ever-evolving Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), which continually take new shapes and forms. Additionally, the enforcement of data protection rules will require corporations to invest heavily in data security. Amid talent deficits and the desire to boost log visibility, SMBs and midmarket players are focused on implementing more advanced solutions. Billions of dollars in revenues are set to flow into the market in the next few years, and providers will look to seize the moment. This means optimizing engagement with the cloud, developing a pricing model for the midmarket, expanding managed-service offerings, and embracing innovation. In short, it means finding productive combinations of products, prices, and services that vendors can tailor to target segments and are flexible enough to scale. Dealmaking is expected to shoot up in such a high-growth environment, and it is natural to anticipate a boost in fundraising and M&A, as has already been witnessed in the past few years.
