Description

Evaluates AI’s role in next-gen cyber defense. Market to grow from $30.9 B (2025) to $93.7 B (2030). Explains AI for machine-speed response (XDR/SOAR), risk-based vulnerability management, and governance against adversarial ML.
Analysis draws from Cybersecurity Ventures 2025 Forecast, MITRE ATT&CK datasets, and NIST AI RMF 1.0 to quantify the impact of AI-driven defenses across government and enterprise environments. Market projections estimate that the global AI in cyber defense market will expand from USD 30.9 billion in 2025 to USD 93.7 billion by 2030, driven by the escalating frequency and automation of attacks. The study integrates data from industry threat reports (IBM, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike) and defense sector studies, combining both technical analysis and economic modeling of AI deployment ROI in security operations. Evaluation includes 20+ vendor profiles with metrics on detection speed, response automation, and false positive reduction, highlighting leaders such as Darktrace, Check Point, and Microsoft. The findings emphasize a shift toward machine-speed defense, where AI enables preemptive detection, autonomous mitigation, and cross-domain intelligence sharing. The study also examines adversarial AI risks, addressing challenges such as model poisoning and data evasion attacks. As cyber operations increasingly depend on agentic AI systems, governance becomes critical—necessitating human-in-the-loop protocols and continuous assurance mechanisms to ensure accountability, resilience, and ethical deployment in both enterprise and national security contexts.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
