NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artificial intelligence in cybersecurity helps to detect, analyze, respond to, and monitor cyber threats in real time. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms analyze huge amounts of data to detect configurations indicative of cyber threats. Additionally, AI can scan complete networks for faults to help avoid common types of cyberattacks. AI predominantly monitors and examines activities and patterns. By leveraging a baseline of normal behavior, AI can identify anomalies and limit illegal access to systems.  A report from Fortune Business Insights projected that the global AI in cybersecurity market size was valued at USD 26.55 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 34.10 billion in 2025 to USD 234.64 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 31.70% during the forecast period. North America dominated the market with a share of 36.31% in 2024.  The report said: "Leveraging Generative AI Capabilities to Detect Emerging Threats Creates Lucrative Market Opportunities:  To protect their operations, enterprises need to develop a clear approach to incorporating AI and generative AI technologies into their present security systems. This involves continuously reevaluating the security setting to detect emerging risks and ensuring the necessary infrastructure is in place. Key components include advanced data management solutions, cloud computing resources, strong governance, and policies to safeguard data integrity and safety. Additionally, companies invest in artificial intelligence and generative AI solutions that improve Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities, offer comprehensive AI-based cybersecurity training for employees, and increase employee awareness of potential risks."  Active Companies in the markets this week include iQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ: OKTA).

Fortune Business Insights continued: "Different types of social engineering attacks include phishing, smishing, spear phishing, honey trapping, baiting, whaling, and others. AI-based behavioral analytics can efficiently identify manipulative, subtle cues that signal phishing and other deceptive tactics, significantly minimizing the occurrence of successful attacks.  Thus, the increase in different kinds of social engineering attacks augments the demand for artificial intelligence in cybersecurity solutions in the market."  It concluded: "The North America region led the market size in 2024 by USD 9.64 billion in 2024, and USD 7.97 billion in 2023. The region held the highest market share in 2024 due to the presence of high-tech enterprises across various sectors such as BFSI, IT & telecom, healthcare, and others. Additionally, the strong presence of market players such as Fortinet, Inc., Acalvio Technologies, Inc., BlackBerry Limited., CrowdStrike, and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, further contributes to the region's leadership in artificial intelligence in cybersecurity market."
