The generative AI cybersecurity market is anticipated to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.5% over the forecast period, reaching USD 35.50 billion by 2031 from an estimated USD 8.65 billion in 2025. The market is driven by the rise in AI supply chain attacks targeting third-party model repositories, APIs, and plugins, which is pushing enterprises to adopt model provenance verification and code signing to secure AI assets.
Additionally, the growing use of model-as-a-service in multi-tenant cloud environments is increasing demand for confidential computing and secure enclave execution to protect sensitive AI workloads. However, the market also faces a significant restraint as malicious actors exploit generative AI to automate phishing campaigns, create deepfakes, and develop advanced malware. This dual-use challenge forces vendors to continually evolve defensive strategies to stay ahead of adversarial AI threats while balancing innovation and security.
Industries with stringent compliance frameworks, such as BFSI, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, are accelerating adoption to meet evolving regulatory expectations like the US SEC’s cyber incident disclosure rules and the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). Moreover, AI-driven risk assessment platforms are being integrated with Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems to automate policy enforcement and reduce decision latency during incidents. By leveraging generative models to evaluate risks in dynamic environments, vendors can offer predictive insights that materially improve security posture and operational resilience. The combination of regulatory pressure, operational efficiency gains, and the ability to quantify and communicate cyber risk in business terms positions this software segment for sustained high-growth momentum.
In sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, and government, where AI applications process high-value and regulated data, SAST adoption is accelerating in parallel with generative AI deployments, ensuring robust protection against injection attacks, insecure dependencies, and code-level data leaks. Moreover, the growing integration of AI coding assistants and automated DevSecOps pipelines is expanding the demand for SAST tools capable of handling AI-generated code, addressing unique vulnerabilities introduced by large language model-assisted programming. Leading security vendors are embedding AI-driven analytics into SAST platforms to improve vulnerability prioritization and reduce false positives, further enhancing operational efficiency and developer adoption. These combined factors position SAST as the dominant force in the 2025 application security landscape.
Government-backed initiatives, such as the US Executive Order on AI and sector-specific compliance mandates, are accelerating investment in advanced AI threat detection, incident response automation, and AI-assisted risk assessment platforms. In parallel, Asia Pacific is poised to record the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by rapid digital transformation, large-scale cloud adoption, and a growing need to counter evolving cyber threats targeting expanding digital infrastructures.
Countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are investing heavily in AI R&D, supported by government programs and strategic public-private partnerships. The region’s expanding base of SMEs and startups is leveraging generative AI for both offensive and defensive cybersecurity innovation, while hyperscale cloud providers are localizing AI security services to address diverse compliance environments. This combination of high-growth adoption patterns in the Asia Pacific and entrenched market dominance in North America is shaping a dual-center growth model for the global generative AI cybersecurity landscape.
The cybersecurity solutions for the generative AI segment include generative AI training data security software, generative AI model security software, generative AI infrastructure security software, and generative AI application security software.

This dual-use challenge forces vendors to continually evolve defensive strategies to stay ahead of adversarial AI threats while balancing innovation and security.
Risk assessment software leads growth, driving proactive threat mitigation
Risk assessment software within the generative AI cybersecurity ecosystem is projected to record the highest CAGR over the forecast period, fueled by its critical role in proactive threat prevention and compliance-driven decision-making. Generative AI enhances traditional risk assessment by simulating complex attack scenarios, predicting cascading impacts across interconnected systems, and identifying latent vulnerabilities that conventional tools may overlook. The technology enables continuous, adaptive scoring of cyber risks based on real-time telemetry, threat intelligence feeds, and contextual business impact, allowing enterprises to prioritize remediation efforts with precision.Industries with stringent compliance frameworks, such as BFSI, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, are accelerating adoption to meet evolving regulatory expectations like the US SEC’s cyber incident disclosure rules and the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).

The combination of regulatory pressure, operational efficiency gains, and the ability to quantify and communicate cyber risk in business terms positions this software segment for sustained high-growth momentum.
Static application security testing to hold largest market as AI-centric code security becomes mission-critical
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is estimated to capture the largest market share within application security types in 2025, driven by its critical role in securing AI-integrated software development pipelines and ensuring code integrity before deployment. The increasing adoption of secure-by-design principles in enterprise AI initiatives has elevated SAST from a compliance-focused measure to a strategic necessity, especially as regulatory bodies tighten oversight on AI-enabled applications handling sensitive data. Unlike dynamic testing, SAST enables early detection of vulnerabilities at the source code level, significantly reducing remediation costs and minimizing the risk of exploited flaws reaching production environments.In sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, and government, where AI applications process high-value and regulated data, SAST adoption is accelerating in parallel with generative AI deployments, ensuring robust protection against injection attacks, insecure dependencies, and code-level data leaks.
