What Is The Driver Of The Cognitive Security Market?

The rising number of cyberattacks and security breaches is expected to propel the growth of the cognitive security market going forward. Cyberattacks and security breaches refer to unauthorized access, disruption, or damage to computer systems, networks, or the information stored within them. Cognitive security is used to defend against cyberattacks and security breaches by applying AI and machine learning techniques to identify, detect, and counteract cyber threats. For instance, in November 2023, according to the 2023 ASD Cyber Threat Report by the Australian Signals Directorate, an Australia-based federal agency, in the 2022-23 financial year, ReportCyber received almost 94,000 reports of cybercrime, reflecting a 23% increase from the prior year. This averages out to one report every six minutes. Therefore, the rising number of cyberattacks and security breaches is driving the cognitive security industry.
