Strategic Intelligence: Enterprise Security Software Sector Scorecard Q2 2025 Update
Summary
In the enterprise security software sector scorecard for Q1 2025, it was necessary to reflect the imposition of tariffs by the White House. With those tariffs on hold amid individual country negotiations, this quarter provides an opportunity to replace the tariffs and smart cities themes to reflect recent activity in two other areas, M&A and geopolitics. Introducing those themes has shaken up the top of the scorecard.
The challenging geopolitical position worldwide is increasing the number of cyberattacks. Although there has been much discussion of a spate of cyberattacks on retailers and airlines, the geopolitical backdrop sets the cyber agenda. The scorecard reflects low geopolitics scores for companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Check Point Software, Broadcom, IBM, and Alphabet because of Big Tech’s global influence. On the other hand, BAE Systems is likely to benefit from the geopolitical tension, which is why it receives a score of 5 out of 5 for this theme.
