The generative artificial intelligence in security market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the security market for generative artificial intelligence has seen an exponential increase in recent years. Expanding from $0.8 $ billion in 2024 to $0.97 $ billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.8%.
Historic growth in this market can be linked to an upsurge in cyber threats, the plethora of big data, the creation of generative models, new security challenges presented by the multitude of connected devices, and the necessity for real-time threat identification and response.
The generative artificial intelligence in security market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions indicate that the generative artificial intelligence in security market will experience immense growth in the coming years, skyrocketing to $2.04 billion by 2029 with a striking compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6%.
This impending increase during the forecast period is a result of multiple factors: the growing sophistication and rate of cyber attacks, stringent regulations surrounding data protection, fusion with established security structures, the application of generative artificial intelligence in identity authentication, and alliances between the public and private sectors. The forecast period is also expected to witness major trends including refined malware analysis, tailored security formulations, cooperative threat intelligence, amalgamation with additional technologies and deployment of AI-powered platforms for incident response.
The rise in cybersecurity threats is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the generative artificial intelligence in security market in the future. Cybersecurity threats entail harmful activities aimed at digital systems in order to pilfer, damage, or disrupt data and operations. These threats encompass hacking, malware, phishing, and ransomware assaults and frequently stem from system vulnerabilities, human mistakes, and progressively complex attacks by malicious agents seeking to exploit weaknesses for monetary profit, data breach, or interruption. The use of generative artificial intelligence in security aids in battling these cybersecurity threats by developing sophisticated models for threat detection, speculating potential attack situations, and enhancing response strategies, thus intensifying overall security measures. For example, in June 2022, the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), a non-profit organization based in the US, published the Phishing Activity Trends Report, which revealed that there were 384,291 phishing attacks in March 2022, making a total of 1,025,968 attacks in the first quarter. This was the first instance the total crossed one million, shattering the previous record of 888,585 attacks in the fourth quarter of 2021. Hence, the mounting cybersecurity threats are leading to the growth of the generative artificial intelligence in security market.
