By 2020, the cyber-security market is expected to be valued at $170.2 billion, which implies a 9.8% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) from today’s estimate of $106.3 billion. Businesses and governments are spending more on cyber-security than ever before and among the companies that are benefiting from the surge in cyber-security spending are those building firewalls, secure servers, routers, anti-virus software, and malware detection tools.
