CONTEXT&#8217;s Panel Europe figures showed Identity &#038; Access Management was the fastest-growing cybersecurity segment in 2026, with revenue up 18% year to date.<\/p>\n<p>Data Security followed with 13% growth, while Infrastructure Protection rose 9%. By contrast, traditional Network Security fell 4% year to date and Endpoint Protection slipped 1%, pointing to a redistribution of budgets away from older, perimeter-focused products.<\/p>\n<p>The figures suggest buyers are responding to a more complex risk environment as cyber threats widen and regulatory demands tighten. Identity controls, governance measures and data protection have become more prominent areas of spending as organisations reassess their most urgent security priorities.<\/p>\n<p>The report also found continued growth among managed services providers, even as broader industry conditions remained subdued. Cybersecurity revenues in the MSP channel increased 17% year on year across Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Some national markets expanded much faster than the regional average. Italy posted MSP cybersecurity growth of 67% year on year, while Spain recorded 39% and Germany 14%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spending shift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CONTEXT&#8217;s figures point to a market moving towards identity-led security strategies and compliance-related purchasing. The trend also reflects the growing importance of access management, resilience planning and governance controls as companies deal with more distributed systems, cloud services and third-party connections.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Turner, Vice President of Sales &#038; Research at CONTEXT, said security priorities were shifting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securitybrief.co.uk\/story\/europe-cybersecurity-revenues-rise-as-identity-leads-shift\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europe cybersecurity revenues rise as identity leads shift https:\/\/securitybrief.co.uk\/story\/europe-cybersecurity-revenues-rise-as-identity-leads-shift Publish Date: 2026-05-21 04:00:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":251103,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/securitybrief.co.uk\/uploads\/story\/2026\/05\/21\/compatible_secure-identity-access-lock-european-office-data-shield-network-firewall-digital-illustration.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[28,29,57],"class_list":["post-251102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-data-security","tag-network-security","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251102"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":251104,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251102\/revisions\/251104"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
