Device Vulnerability Market Report 2026

The device vulnerability market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.24 billion in 2025 to $2.61 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to legacy system vulnerabilities exposure, limited endpoint security adoption, reactive incident response practices, increasing device connectivity expansion, lack of standardized firmware security protocols.

The device vulnerability market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.85 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in iot and connected device proliferation, growing adoption of zero trust architectures, increasing regulatory cybersecurity compliance mandates, expansion of automated vulnerability scanning tools, rising sophistication of cyber threats and exploits. Major trends in the forecast period include zero trust device security adoption, firmware and embedded system vulnerability management, automated patch and configuration management systems, endpoint hardening and threat detection expansion, hardware root of trust and secure boot implementation.

The increasing occurrence of cyberattacks and data breaches is expected to drive growth in the device vulnerability market moving forward. Cyberattacks and data breaches refer to unauthorized efforts to access, disrupt, or steal data from digital systems, leading to financial, operational, and reputational harm. The rise in cyberattacks and data breaches is driven by growing digital dependence, as increasing volumes of sensitive data are stored online, expanding the attack surface and creating more opportunities for exploitation. Device vulnerability solutions assist organizations by identifying weaknesses across endpoints and systems, thereby strengthening their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats and data breaches. For instance, in October 2025, according to the Australian Signals Directorate, an Australia-based government agency, during the financial year (FY) 2024-25, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) notified entities more than 1,700 times of potentially malicious cyber activity, representing an 83% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rising frequency of cyberattacks and data breaches is driving the growth of the device vulnerability market.

Key companies operating in the device vulnerability market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as AI-powered vulnerability management platforms, to address the growing need for proactive threat detection, continuous monitoring, and automated remediation amid the rapid increase in cyber threats and software vulnerabilities. AI-powered vulnerability management platforms are advanced cybersecurity solutions that leverage machine learning, threat intelligence, and automation to continuously scan devices, identify vulnerabilities, and prioritize remediation. For instance, in November 2025, Cybereason Inc., a US-based cybersecurity company, launched its integrated Vulnerability Management product within the Cybereason Endpoint Protection Platform. The solution enables a shift from reactive detection to proactive risk mitigation by continuously analyzing endpoint applications, mapping them against Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) databases, and delivering prioritized remediation guidance through a unified interface. By integrating vulnerability assessment with endpoint protection, it eliminates the need for standalone tools, provides a consolidated view of threats and vulnerabilities, and reduces operational complexity.

In February 2025, Tenable, a US-based technology company, acquired Vulcan Cyber for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Tenable aims to strengthen its vulnerability management capabilities by incorporating unified vulnerability data aggregation, prioritization, and automated remediation, thereby enhancing its exposure management platform and reducing tool fragmentation for security teams. Vulcan Cyber is an Israel-based technology company that specializes in unified vulnerability management solutions enabling organizations to efficiently prioritize and remediate critical security risks.

The device vulnerability market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as vulnerability assessment, threat analysis, patch management, risk mitigation, system integration, installation and setup, maintenance and support, and security consulting. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The device vulnerability market also includes sales of routers, firewalls, intrusion detection devices, and hardware security modules (HSMs). Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
