Cybersecurity involves safeguarding networks, computers, mobile devices, hardware, electronic systems, and data from digital or malicious attacks, also referred to as electronic information security and information technology security.
The primary security categories of cybersecurity services include network security, endpoint security, application security, cloud security, and others. Endpoint security focuses on preventing malicious actors and campaigns from exploiting endpoints or entry points on end-user devices, including desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. These services find applications across various industry verticals, such as aerospace and defense, BFSI, public sector, retail, healthcare, IT and telecom, energy and utilities, manufacturing, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The cybersecurity services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cybersecurity services market statistics, including cybersecurity services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cybersecurity services market share, detailed cybersecurity services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cybersecurity services industry. This cybersecurity services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cybersecurity services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $97.03 billion in 2024 to $105.8 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, rise in disposable income, high valuations of software companies and technology development.
The cybersecurity services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $158.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, internet of things (IoT), increase in internet penetration, need for authentication techniques and emergence. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on leveraging ai, machine learning and blockchain technologies for cyber defense, offering cloud-based cybersecurity services, using data analysis to enhance cybersecurity services, adopting ISO 9001 standards to deliver quality services and adopting automation and integration in cybersecurity.
The forecast of 10.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Service delivery costs may rise as firms face higher prices for offshore penetration testing suites and endpoint security frameworks developed in Eastern Europe, reducing cost efficiency in U.S. operations. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising frequency of large-scale cyber-attacks is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the cybersecurity services market. The primary motivations behind cybercrimes include political competition, financial gain, reputational damage, foreign rivalry, and the radical involvement of religious groups. Most cyber-attacks aim for financial profit. Notable ransomware attacks such as WannaCry, Petya, NotPetya, and BadRabbit have specifically targeted major businesses and government institutions. For example, on November 20, 2023, the Department of Defence Australia reported that the Australian Cyber Security Centre received over 94,000 cybercrime reports during the 2022-2023 financial year, indicating a 23 percent increase compared to the previous year, 2021-22. Consequently, the rise in massive cyber-attacks is prompting companies to integrate cybersecurity measures into their systems and operations to prevent failures, thus driving the growth of the cybersecurity services market.
The rising cybersecurity budgets are expected to accelerate the growth of the cybersecurity services market in the future. A cybersecurity budget refers to the financial resources an organization allocates to safeguard its information assets against cyber threats. Adequate budgeting enables organizations to invest in more advanced and comprehensive cybersecurity services. For instance, in March 2024, the Federal News Network, a U.S.-based media outlet, reported that the Biden administration is proposing $13 billion in cybersecurity funding for civilian departments in its fiscal 2025 budget, a notable increase from the $11.8 billion allocated in fiscal 2024 and $11.3 billion in fiscal 2023. This funding is intended to strengthen the nation's cybersecurity measures in light of increasing threats. Therefore, the growth of cybersecurity budgets is driving the expansion of the cybersecurity services market.
Embracing AI, machine learning, and blockchain technologies for cyber defense emerges as a prominent trend in the cybersecurity services market. Cybersecurity vendors are integrating principles of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into their solutions to effectively address risks in today's hyper-connected workplaces, offering swift identification, prevention, and response capabilities. Technological advancements, particularly in AI and machine learning, are empowering the fight against cybercrime. Vade Secure, a global email security firm, utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to protect over 600 million mailboxes across 76 countries from various threats, including spear phishing, ransomware, and malware. In August 2023, Abnormal Security, a US-based AI-driven email security platform, introduced CheckGPT, an AI-generated email detector. This innovative feature determines when generative AI technologies were likely used to produce email threats such as business email compromise (BEC) and other socially engineered attacks. Cybersecurity experts are leveraging AI and machine learning to address emerging cyber threats affecting individuals, businesses, and governments.
Major companies engaged in the cybersecurity services market are concentrating on developing cutting-edge technologies, such as cybersecurity services platforms, to deliver reliable services to their customers. A cybersecurity services platform serves as a centralized solution, providing organizations with a comprehensive array of cybersecurity services. For instance, in February 2022, Tata Consultancy Services, an Indian-based information technology services and consulting company, introduced the Cyber Defense Suite. This uniquely designed platform offers a 360-degree view and predictive intelligence, enabling proactive defense and response against evolving threats from a unified perspective. The platform provides executives with the confidence and flexibility to expand their digital businesses by offering a comprehensive range of quickly adaptable, modular cybersecurity services. The suite's automation and scalability reduce the total cost of ownership while empowering enterprises to operate with increased speed and agility.
