Cybersecurity

Global cybersecurity spending hit $215 billion in 2024, growing at a 15% CAGR—outpacing the Space Economy's 9% growth. AI-powered attacks, ransomware-as-a-service, and nation-state threats are driving this surge. The average data breach cost reached $4.88 million, per IBM. AI-native firms like CrowdStrike, Wiz, and Palo Alto Networks are displacing legacy vendors at record speed, while quantum computing threats fuel investment in post-quantum cryptography. This sector’s urgency and scale make it the fastest-growing on our list.
