What Is The Driver Of The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Vulnerability Scanning Market?

Rising number of cyber-attacks is expected to propel the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) vulnerability scanning market going forward. Cyber-attacks are malicious attempts by individuals or groups to compromise, damage, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or data, often with the intent to steal information, disrupt operations, or cause harm. The rising number of cyber-attacks is due to the increasing sophistication of hacking techniques, as cybercriminals continuously develop advanced malware that can bypass traditional security measures and exploit system vulnerabilities more effectively. Artificial intelligence (AI) vulnerability scanning provides cyber security when hackers manipulate its automated detection capabilities to systematically identify security weaknesses, that exploit vulnerabilities before organizations can patch them. For instance, in July 2023, according to the chainalysis Inc., a US-based software company, Ransomware, however, is the only category of cryptocurrency-related crime that is set to rise in 2023, with attackers extracting $175.8 million more than they had by the same point in 2022. Therefore, the rising number of cyber-attacks drives the artificial intelligence (AI) vulnerability scanning industry.
