The adoption of the‘artificial intelligence and generative AI (GenAI) is driving the continued growth of investment in security software markets, from application security to data and intelligence security. privacyup to the protection of the infrastructure. A new forecast from Gartneraccording to which by 2025 generative AI will cause a surge in resources cybersecurity needed to protect it, leading to a 15% increase in spending on security software.
The survey identifies the lack of skills globally in the cybersecurity sector as one of the main factors that will drive investments in the security services market: security consulting services, security professional services and managed security services will in fact grow faster than other segments.
Safety at the top of the priority list
Second Gartnerglobal end-user spending on cybersecurity is expected to reach $212 billion in 2025, with an increase of 15.1% compared to 2024. By 2024, global spending on end-user cybersecurity is projected to reach $183.9 billion.
“The continued rise in threats, the movement to the cloud and the talent shortage are pushing security to the top of the priority list and driving Chief Information Security Officer (Ciso) to increase spending on their organization’s security,” he says Shailendra Upadhyay, Senior Research Principal at Gartner. “In addition, organizations are assessing their endpoint protection (EPP) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform needs and making changes to increase operational resilience and incident response following the CrowdStrike incident.”
By 2027, 17% of Cyberattacks Will Involve GenAI
After the release of GenAI, attackers are increasingly employing tools in conjunction with large language models (Llm) to carry out large-scale social engineering attacks and Gartner predicts that By 2027, 17% of all cyberattacks/data leaks will involve generative AI.
As organizations continue to shift to cloudmoreover, analysts of Gartner predict a rise in cloud security solutions and a growth in the market share of cloud-native solutions. The combined market for cloud access security brokers (Casb) and cloud workload protection platforms (Cwpp) is estimated to will reach $8.7 billion in 2025, up from $6.7 billion expected in 2024.
