The report, which focuses on Europe exclusively, indicates that the market is being driven by the growing number and complexity of attacks on government installations.

According to Technavio’s industry analyst, “Government installations in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, are witnessing increasing cyber-attacks. Further, the European Union's (EU) infrastructure has also been attacked. Not only are the frequency of attacks increasing, they are also becoming more complex.
