Security Automation Market Revenue Outlook: What CAGR Lies Ahead Through 2030?
The security automation market has experienced rapid expansion recently. Projections indicate its expansion from $12.25 billion in 2025 to $13.95 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. Historically, this growth can be ascribed to factors such as the increasing complexity of cybersecurity workloads, the growing scarcity of proficient security personnel, the expansion of enterprise digital assets, the proliferation of security monitoring tools, and the early embrace of automation platforms.
The security automation market is poised for substantial growth over the next few years, with projections indicating it will reach $23.51 billion in 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. This expansion during the forecast period is fueled by increasing investments in security orchestration platforms, a rising demand for faster threat mitigation, the proliferation of autonomous security operations centers, a growing emphasis on compliance automation, and enhanced integration of security automation with DevSecOps. Prominent trends in this period include the wider adoption of automated incident response systems, increased utilization of AI-driven security orchestration, the growing integration of RPA in security operations, the expansion of continuous vulnerability management, and an enhanced focus on policy automation and compliance.

Security Automation Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The increasing incidence of phishing attacks and security breaches is projected to drive the expansion of the security automation market in the future. Phishing attacks involve social engineering tactics often employed to obtain user data, including login information and credit card numbers. Data security breaches occur when confidential information is exposed to an insecure external setting, either for financial benefit or due to accidental errors. These incidents, encompassing both phishing and security breaches, are motivated by objectives such as financial gain, the stealing of data, identity theft, espionage, the disruption of systems, or the opportunistic leveraging of weaknesses. Security automation improves the ability to detect and respond, thereby effectively mitigating phishing attacks and managing security breaches. For example, in July 2024, the Identity Theft Resource Center, a US-based non-profit entity, documented 1,041,312,601 data breach victims in Q2 2024. This represented an astonishing 1,170 percent rise compared to Q2 2023, when there were 81,958,874 victims. Furthermore, the Information Commissioner’s Office, an independent regulatory body based in the UK, noted that phishing accounted for the largest number of victims in 2022, with 300,497 cases reported in total. Consequently, the escalating number of phishing attacks and security breaches is fueling the expansion of the security automation market.
