Major trends in the forecast period include automated threat detection, real-time incident response, behavioral analytics for cybersecurity, predictive breach risk analysis, security compliance automation.

The increasing instances of cyber threats are expected to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence in cybersecurity market going forward. A cyber threat is a malicious act aimed at stealing or damaging data or disrupting an enterprise’s digital stability and operations. The rise in cyber threats is fueled by growing digitalization and remote work, which expand the number of potential attack surfaces for threat actors. Artificial intelligence in cybersecurity enhances protection by using advanced algorithms to detect, analyze, and mitigate evolving cyber risks in real time, improving threat intelligence and incident response. For instance, in November 2023, the Australian Cyber Security Centre reported that during the 2022-23 financial year, nearly 94,000 cybercrime reports were submitted to ReportCyber, representing a 23% increase from the previous year. Therefore, rising cyber threats are driving the growth of the AI in cybersecurity market.

Major companies in the AI cybersecurity market are developing advanced solutions, such as AI-powered cybersecurity assistants, to improve threat detection accuracy, streamline incident response, and reduce alert fatigue for security teams. AI-powered cybersecurity assistants are intelligent tools that leverage AI and machine learning to help professionals detect, investigate, and mitigate threats in real time. For instance, in August 2024, IBM introduced its Cybersecurity Assistant, a generative AI capability built on the watsonx platform and integrated into its managed Threat Detection and Response (TDR) services. The assistant automates up to 85% of alerts and has reduced alert investigation times by 48% for one client, enabling faster and more effective incident management.

In September 2024, Palo Alto Networks, Inc., a U.S.-based global cybersecurity company, acquired IBM’s QRadar Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) assets for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Palo Alto Networks aims to strengthen its AI-powered security operations platform by integrating IBM QRadar’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Attack Surface Management (ASM), and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) tools into its Cortex XSIAM platform. This enables enterprises to streamline security operations and scale AI-enabled threat prevention. IBM’s QRadar SaaS assets are part of its hybrid cloud and AI security solutions business.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity pertains to the utilization of advanced computational algorithms and machine learning techniques to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of security measures, safeguarding digital systems, networks, and data from cyber threats. AI in cybersecurity is employed for analyzing risk data, detecting and responding to threats, and predicting potential breach risks.

The primary components of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity comprise software and services. Software constitutes a set of programs, procedures, and routines guiding a computer's hardware to execute specific tasks. Various technologies involved in this domain include machine learning, natural language processing, and context-aware computing. Deployment modes encompass both cloud and on-premise options, serving applications such as antivirus or antimalware, data loss prevention, fraud detection or anti-fraud, identity and access management, intrusion detection or prevention systems, risk and compliance management, security and vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and others. End-users benefiting from these AI applications span across BFSI (banking, financial services, and insurance), enterprise, retail, government and defense, manufacturing, healthcare, automotive and transportation, infrastructure, and various other sectors.
