Cyber Security Export Markets

Abstract

Virginia has been consistently rated by various studies as the number one state for doing business in the United States. The industries of information technology and defense are among the major industries within Virginia. The global demand for cybersecurity technology is exploding. The project identifies the top ten foreign markets that offer the best opportunities for exports of cyber security goods, services and technologies by companies located in Virginia. In addition to providing a broad overview of the top ten markets, the study identifies and analyzes the five most promising markets in depth. The ten markets examined are presented in the order of the most promising. The first five contain the in depth assessments. These assessments focus on strategies for market access, including government procurement procedures, trade regulations, laws, market access restrictions, tenders, and business challenges.
