More than $ 27 billion in total will be spent on the purchase of security technologies by banks, companies in the discrete manufacturing sector (primarily high-tech) and state structures. Four other  industries account for more than $ 5 billion (continuous production, professional services, consumer market and telecommunications).
 
More than 18 billion dollars in 2018 will be paid for managed security services (leased systems managed by third-party providers, but located on the client platform).
