Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2016 -- Cyberspace has emerged as the new domain for warfare. Any information technology (IT) based system connected to the Internet is vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Cyber weapons are advanced cyber warfare tools that are powered with weaponized zero-day exploits or vulnerabilities in software primarily aimed for launching an effective cyber-attack on enemy networks. Hackers and cyber professionals are increasingly focused on developing cyber capabilities to infiltrate into enemy networks in order to violate confidentiality of the target. Additionally, cyber weapons are capable of data theft, espionage, and destruction of equipment and other critical systems such as industrial control system and national defense system.

The cyber weapon market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period owing to the increasing investment by government and utility organizations to identify zero-day vulnerabilities or exploits in a system or software application. Intelligence agencies, government, and other organizations are increasingly investing in cyber units and other cyber resources to identify zero-day exploits and use them against enemy systems or networks when necessary. Additionally expansion of traditional arms manufacturing companies such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems and Raytheon Company among others in cybersecurity business is driving the market growth. Demand for advanced cyber warfare techniques is further fueling the growth of this market.

Emergence of cyber as new domain for warfare is paving new opportunities for new and existing players in the market. Cyber weapon is considered as complementary to conventional warfare techniques. Additionally, cost-effectiveness of cyber weapons is leading to reduced funds for military expenses, thus providing new opportunities to players in the cyber weapon market.

National defense system, industrial control system, smart power grid and communication network are major application segments of the global cyber weapon market. The growth in these application segments is attributed to the rising need for acquiring cyber capabilities including defensive and offensive cyber weapons across the globe by government and other spy organizations. Currently focus on development of defensive cyber capabilities is leading to defensive cyber weapon market growth. However increasing need for developing offensive cyber warfare techniques due to emergence of cyberspace as a new domain for warfare is driving the offensive cyber weapon market growth.
