Poland Cybersecurity Market Size

Poland Cybersecurity Market Analysis

The Poland Cybersecurity Market size is estimated at USD 1.52 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.02 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.85% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland for 2019-2024 supplanted the National Framework laid out for 2017-2022. It considered the need to enable the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland to conduct military operations in the event of cyber warfare requiring defensive operations.

• The Polish government plans to improve the structure of the Armed Forces of the Republic by establishing and strengthening establishments tasked with conducting tasks in cyberspace, which can identify, prevent and combat cyber threats. The Ministry of National Defense is currently working towards developing innovative methods and tools to ensure operational effectiveness in this domain.
• Also, in 2022, Poland raised its nationwide cybersecurity terror threat in the wake of a cyberattack on Ukraine, adding that the new alert level was preventative. The introduction of this alert level means that public administration will be obliged to conduct increased monitoring of the security of ICT systems. It is due to a possible security breach of electronic communications.
• In Poland, very few professionals are willing to work in the public sector due to the significantly higher wages offered in the private sector. To address this, a Cybersecurity Fund was established in December 2021. The fund aims to raise the salaries of cybersecurity professionals in major public institutions such as the Polish Prime Minister's Office and intelligence services, thus driving the demand for the market.
• In February 2022 Poland's defense minister appointed an army general to officially head a new Cyber Defense Force to launch the unit's operation. In 2021, Canadian experts determined that a Polish senator, Polish lawyer, and a Polish prosecutor, all three critics of Poland's ruling Law and Justice party, were hacked with NSO's Pegasus spyware.
• However, no specific regulations are enforced in Poland concerning cybercrimes committed regarding intellectual property. Computer-related crimes committed against intellectual property rights are punishable under the same conditions as other crimes committed against property rights. Moreover, the country also dropped in the cybersecurity rankings by Check Point Software.
• Due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, Poland is implementing precautionary measures. With schools closed and communities asked to stay home, several organizations have found ways to enable their employees to work from home. Hence, this has increased the adoption of cybersecurity solutions across the country.
