Enterprise Security Software Sector Scorecard Q1 2024 Update - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. It can help organizations improve their threat detection, hunting, and incident response capabilities, but adversaries can and will use AI in cyberattacks. There is every likelihood that AI will spur new merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in cybersecurity, especially of companies judged to be AI specialists. In the thematic screen of GlobalData’s enterprise security software sector scorecard, AI has a weighting of 20%, higher than any other theme.

The high weighting for the AI theme means those at the top of the scorecard all have strong AI capabilities. Since the last update, Fortinet and Cisco, which have scores of 4 out of 5 in the AI theme, have slipped a little in the rankings as BAE Systems, Palantir, and Darktrace, all of which have scores of 5 out of 5 in this theme, have risen.
