Welcome to the August 2014 Newsletter.
Despite commitments to bolster the country’s critical infrastructure, continued public spending cuts have reduced the funds available for the government and CNI operators to improve current services and facilities. This has had an impact on all CNI (Critical National Infrastructure) sectors, especially those that rely entirely on government budgets, such as border control and first responders. Restricted funding will no doubt force end users to turn to technology to increase efficiency and ensure the standards of protection and service delivery remain high.
“End users with budget constraints will look for the most cost-effective security partnerships and endeavour to keep costs to a minimum by bargaining hard, thus spurring market competition,” comments analysts Frost & Sullivan. “Intensifying competition will affect potential margins for security providers as they have to look to reduce prices to win projects and retain customers in times of financial uncertainty. “
New research from Frost & Sullivan, titled ‘Analysis of the United Kingdom Critical National Infrastructure Security Market’, finds that the market earned revenues of £2.43 billion in 2013 and estimates this will reach £3.10 billion in 2019. The study covers security for the border and maritime, energy, mass transport, water, government, C4i (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence) first responder and cyber segments.
“Integrated security systems will become popular as they can drive down the price of security systems due to the fact that they are interoperable and come from the same supplier,” notes Frost & Sullivan’s aerospace and defence research analyst Katherine Evans. “Fully integrated intelligence and security solutions are preferred to increase situational awareness and end user ability to mitigate and respond to threats.”
So, all to play for, it would seem.
