Description

Global spending on cybersecurity products and services will see a strong 14.4% CAGR from 2024 through 2029 and will hit $302.5 billion in 2029, driven by continued concerns around cyberattacks across all verticals and geographies. But where is the spending occuring and how do you prepare?

Merritt Maxim, VP & Research Director at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the Global Cybersecurity Market Forecast, 2024 To 2029 report. Merritt will discuss the findings, including:

  • In 2029, 69% of cybersecurity spending will be on software across seven prime functional disciplines of cybersecurity (applications, cloud, data, endpoint, network, identity, and security operations);
  • the remaining spending will be allocated to security services, excluding security outsourcing, implementation, and deployment services; and
  • AI software spending will grow at a CAGR of 21.2%, from $74.3 billion in 2024 to $194.3 billion by 2029.

See Merritt's blog of the results at https://www.forrester.com/blogs/global-cybersecurity-spending-to-exceed-300b-by-2029/.
