Cyber Security Tenders

2024 will continue to see the defence industry drive growth across the cyber sector.

Public sector organisations across the world are likely to have a substantial pot of money to spend on cyber security – which is particularly important given the growing number of cyber attacks.

Previous cyber attacks on government and public sector bodies have shown that their IT systems are often extremely fragile, vulnerable and easily exploited. To tackle this, many are investing in their cyber security strategy.

NATO Investment Into Cyber Security

NATO Has Stated That It Will “Continue To Adapt To The Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape.”

Due to the scale of cyber attacks in recent years, the Alliance is reliant on resilient cyber defence and must be prepared to defend its networks and operations against the growing sophistication of the cyber threats and attacks it faces.

On NATO’S website, it confirms that investment has been made in recent years by its members after the Cyber Defence Pledge was made in July 2016 to enhance cyber defences. NATO states that since then “all Allies have upgraded their cyber defences.”
