网络安全驱动增长

Cybersecurity as an Engine for Growth

网络安全是世界上发展最快的行业之一。因私营企业、消费者和公共部门的需求增加,全球网络安全市场预计将在2020年增加到1250亿美元,而网络安全失业率预计将维持在百分之零。为了利用这一戏剧性的增长,国家和地方政府正积极寻求发展和吸引网络安全人才和企业。到目前为止,网络安全生态系统已经在全球各地出现,通常呈现为地区内的"集群(clusters)",集群为发展提供了必要的因素。本文研究了三个案例,即以色列的比尔谢巴(Beersheba)、英国的莫尔文(Malvern)、美国的圣安东尼奥(San Antonio)来探究国家和地方政府应如何吸引和发展网络安全产业。虽然每个地区都是独特的,根据其地区情况不同,驱动因素也随之改变,这项研究仍总结出了一些促进集群增长的因素、给出了初步建议并提出了一些后续问题。

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing industries in the world.In light of greater demand from private businesses,consumers,and the public sector,the global cybersecurity market is expected to increase to$125billion in2020,while cybersecurity unemployment is expected to remain at zero percent.National and local governments are actively seeking to leverage this dramatic projected growth by developing and attracting cybersecurity talent and industry.So far,cybersecurity ecosystems have popped up in various places around the globe,usually in regionally-defined“clusters”that provide the necessary factors to support development.This study examines three case studies,Beersheba,Israel;Malvern,United Kingdom;and San Antonio,United States,to begin to shed light on how national and local governments can attract and develop a cybersecurity industry.While each geography is unique and driven by factors specific to its particular situation,this study has been able to draw several conclusions about factors that contribute to cluster growth,lay out the initial set of recommendations,and highlight a number of questions.
