Cognitive security entails leveraging cognitive computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents in real time, employing advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify patterns and make intelligent decisions.
The primary components of cognitive security include solutions and services. Services encompass the resolution or answer to specific issues, providing a means to overcome obstacles or address particular needs. These services span various security domains such as physical security, cybersecurity, network security, cloud security, application security, and endpoint security. Cognitive security solutions are applied across diverse applications including threat intelligence, anomaly detection and risk mitigation, automated compliance management, among others. End users of cognitive security solutions encompass sectors such as aerospace and defense, government, banking, financial services, insurance, IT and telecom, healthcare, and retail.
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 cognitive security market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cognitive security market statistics, including cognitive security industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cognitive security market share, detailed cognitive security market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cognitive security industry. This cognitive security 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 cognitive security market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $18.88 billion in 2024 to $25.94 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), industry-specific applications, data explosion and big data analytics, increased computational power, automation and efficiency.
The cognitive security market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $80.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to exponential growth of data, enhanced natural language processing (nlp), ai-powered personalization, healthcare industry transformation, explainable ai and trust. Major trends in the forecast period include cross-industry collaboration, exponential growth in data volume, emphasis on explainable ai (xai), integration of cognitive systems in edge computing, cross-industry adoption, focus on cognitive automation.
The forecast of 32.8% 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. U.S. cybersecurity providers integrating AI-based threat detection systems from Israel and Japan may face longer implementation cycles due to increased component tariffs. 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 increasing incidence of cyberattacks and security breaches is anticipated to drive the expansion of the cognitive security market in the future. Cyberattacks and security breaches involve unauthorized access, disruption, or harm to computer systems, networks, or stored information. Cognitive security employs AI and machine learning techniques to identify, detect, and counteract cyber threats effectively. For example, in January 2024, AAG Solutions LLC reported an 81% increase in global cyberattacks in 2022 compared to 2021, with the cost of cyber breaches reaching $4.35 million in 2022. Furthermore, projections suggest that cybercrime could cost the global economy $7 trillion in 2022, rising to $10.5 trillion by 2025. Hence, the rising frequency of cyberattacks and security breaches is propelling the growth of the cognitive security market.
Key players in the cognitive security market are concentrating on innovative advancements such as cognitive security capability to enhance their competitive edge and address the evolving threat landscape. Cognitive security capability involves applying AI and machine learning techniques and technologies to bolster threat detection. For instance, in September 2023, Linksys Holdings, Inc. unveiled Cognitive Security capability, aiming to optimize user devices online and ensure secure WiFi usage. This practice utilizes AI and ML techniques to enhance threat detection, understand threat context, identify patterns, and improve cyber defense capabilities in response to evolving threats. These features enable informed decision-making by analyzing extensive data from various sources.
In August 2023, Cisco acquired Oort Inc. to enhance its identity and access management technology and extend its Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities. The acquisition aims to incorporate Oort's distributed identity threat detection platform into Cisco's Security Cloud, enhancing user context telemetry and integrating capabilities such as Duo Identity Access Management (IAM) and ITDR technology. Oort Inc. specializes in providing cognitive-based threat quantification through its distributed identity threat detection platform.
