Gartner®: Hype Cycle™ for Cyber Risk Management

By the end of 2025, the global information security market — driven primarily by cybersecurity — is projected to reach $201 billion in current U.S. dollars, reflecting an annual growth rate of 10.6%. This growth is driven by the continued prioritization of cybersecurity by CIOs and technology executives due to elevated threat environments, cloud movement and the cybersecurity talent crunch, as well as the adoption of AI by providers and attackers.

This Hype Cycle outlines how organizations can utilize concepts, methodologies, processes and technology solutions to manage cyber risks and capitalize on risk-related opportunities. Organizations must adapt their approach to cyber-risk management to align with business objectives, prioritizing business impact. This adjustment is necessary in order to respond to regulatory environments and international affiliations.
