The growing shift toward proactive security strategies, where organizations focus on prevention and early detection instead of purely reacting to incidents, is fueling demand for advanced threat intelligence. At the same time, the rapid progress in quantum computing research is raising concerns over the long-term security of current encryption methods, pushing enterprises to seek more sophisticated intelligence capabilities to anticipate and mitigate emerging risks. Together, these trends are driving investment in solutions that deliver continuous monitoring, predictive analytics, and actionable insights to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats

"By application, the fraud and financial crime detection segment holds the largest market share in 2026."
The fraud and financial crime detection segment holds the largest market share in 2026 as financial institutions increasingly use threat intelligence to identify fraud infrastructure, compromised credentials, malicious domains, phishing campaigns, and coordinated threat actors. The growing convergence of cybercrime and financial crime is strengthening demand for intelligence that can connect external threat signals with suspicious transactions and customer activity. According to INTERPOL's 2026 Global Financial Fraud Threat Assessment, AI enhanced fraud is reported to be 4.5 times more profitable than traditional methods, while criminal networks are increasingly collaborating across cybercrime, fraud, and money laundering operations. Google Mandiant's M Trends 2025 also found that financially motivated groups represented 55% of threat groups active in 2024, highlighting the strong financial motivation behind cyberattacks. Financial institutions are therefore using threat intelligence to identify fraud campaigns before they result in monetary losses, strengthen account takeover and payment fraud detection, and uncover connections between seemingly isolated incidents. Threat intelligence also supports investigation by correlating indicators such as IP addresses, domains, device information, malware, and compromised credentials. As digital banking, instant payments, online lending, and embedded financial services expand, the need to combine cyber threat intelligence with fraud and financial crime analytics is increasing, supporting the segment's leading position.
"By solution, the external attack surface management (EASM) segment is expected to record the fastest growth rate during the forecast period."
The external attack surface management (EASM) segment is expected to record the fastest growth as organizations face increasingly distributed and dynamic digital environments containing cloud assets, applications, APIs, domains, exposed services, and third-party infrastructure. Traditional security approaches often provide limited visibility into assets that security teams do not know exist, creating demand for continuous external discovery and exposure monitoring. The 2025 SANS Attack Surface Management Survey, based on responses from security leaders, found that 89% of organizations expect risk quantification for every asset, while 67% want actionable mitigation guidance when vulnerabilities have public exploits. The survey also found that 55% expect ASM to protect both internal and external assets, demonstrating the shift toward broader exposure management. Palo Alto Networks' 2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report, based on investigations conducted during 2025, found that 87% of incidents involved activity across two or more attack surfaces, while identity, endpoints, networks, applications, email, and cloud were all observed as attack surfaces. EASM solutions address this complexity by continuously discovering internet-facing assets, identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, monitoring changes, and prioritizing exposures based on their potential threat relevance. Integration with threat intelligence enables organizations to correlate exposed assets with active threat actors, malicious infrastructure, and known exploitation activity, strengthening proactive risk management.
"By region, North America is projected to hold the largest market share in 2026."
North America is projected to hold the largest market share in 2026, supported by mature cybersecurity infrastructure, high enterprise adoption of advanced security technologies, substantial cybersecurity spending, and the presence of major threat intelligence vendors. The US represents the principal contributor to regional demand, driven by sophisticated cyber threats, stringent cybersecurity requirements, and extensive adoption of cloud and digital technologies. Palo Alto Networks' 2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report found that identity was involved in 89% of investigated incidents during 2025, followed by endpoints at 61% and networks at 50%, illustrating the increasingly complex attack surfaces faced by organizations. North American organizations are consequently adopting threat intelligence across security operations, incident response, threat hunting, fraud detection, vulnerability management, and digital risk protection. The region also benefits from a strong ecosystem of technology providers, cybersecurity specialists, government agencies, and research organizations that continuously generate and consume threat intelligence. High awareness of ransomware, supply chain attacks, identity compromise, and emerging AI-enabled threats is encouraging organizations to integrate real-time intelligence into their security operations, reinforcing North America's leading market position.
