Incident Response Automation Market Report 2026

The incident response automation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $5.89 billion in 2025 to $7.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing frequency of cyberattacks, need for faster containment, adoption of soAR platforms, growth of endpoint security tools, security team resource constraints.

The incident response automation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.92 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous incident response playbooks, AI-assisted threat investigation, cross-platform orchestration expansion, continuous control validation, regulatory pressure for faster reporting. Major trends in the forecast period include soar playbook standardization, automated threat containment actions, AI-assisted alert triage, cross-tool incident correlation, continuous post-incident optimization.

The growth in cyber threats is expected to drive the growth of the incident response automation market going forward. Cyber threats are malicious activities targeting digital systems, networks, or data, which can result in financial losses, operational disruption, or exposure of sensitive information. The rise in cybercrime is increasing as more organizations rely on digital platforms, remote work, and online financial transactions, all of which expand vulnerability to attacks. Incident response automation enhances digital security by quickly detecting, analyzing, and mitigating cyberattacks, reducing operational disruption and financial losses. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Centre (IC3), a US-based federal law enforcement agency, the internet crime report recorded over 859,000 complaints of suspected internet crime in 2024, with reported losses exceeding $16 billion, a 33% increase from 2023. Therefore, the growth in cyber threats is driving the growth of the incident response automation market.

Key companies operating in the incident response automation market are focusing on developing artificial intelligence-powered security information and event management platforms with incident response automation to enhance real-time threat detection, accelerate remediation, and improve operational efficiency across complex IT environments. Artificial intelligence-powered security information and event management platforms with incident response automation are cybersecurity systems that use artificial intelligence to collect, analyze, and correlate security data from multiple sources. For instance, in July 2025, Rapid7, a US-based company specializing in threat detection and exposure management, launched Incident Command, an artificial intelligence-powered next-generation security information and event management (SIEM) platform that unifies threat detection, exposure management, and automation to improve how security teams detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats. The platform integrates agentic artificial intelligence workflows trained on real-world security operations center (SOC) playbooks, unified threat intelligence, and attack surface context to deliver a seamless analyst experience. It automates triage with 99.93% accuracy, consolidates previously siloed functions such as security information and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), and attack surface management (ASM), and enables security teams to respond to threats faster and more effectively.

In March 2025, SolarWinds, a US-based provider of observability and network management software, acquired Squadcast for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, SolarWinds aims to enhance its observability platform by integrating intelligent incident response capabilities, enabling faster detection, remediation, and improved operational efficiency in complex IT environments. Squadcast is a US-based company specializing in incident response automation.

Major companies operating in the incident response automation market are Google LLC, Microsoft Corp., IBM Corporation, Cisco Systems Inc., Broadcom Inc., Palo Alto Networks Inc., Fortinet Inc., Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., CrowdStrike Holdings Inc., Trellix, Rapid7 Inc., SentinelOne, Sumo Logic Inc., Exabeam Inc., Swimlane Inc., CyberBit Ltd., ThreatConnect Inc., BlackPoint Holdings LLC, Radiant Security Inc., Tines Security Services Ltd.

North America was the largest region in the incident response automation market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the incident response automation market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the incident response automation market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Tariffs have created both challenges and opportunities for the incident response automation market by increasing the cost of importing compute hardware, networking equipment, and security components used across on-premises and cloud-connected deployments. These cost increases can slow upgrade cycles for enterprises in North America and Europe that depend on Asia-Pacific supply chains, especially for hardware-heavy segments such as accelerators, edge devices, and monitoring appliances. However, tariffs are also encouraging regional sourcing, greater use of software-based optimization, and stronger vendor partnerships to reduce total cost of ownership. Providers are improving automation, enhancing managed services, and optimizing architectures to maintain performance and reliability while controlling costs.
