This report cuts through the hype to reveal how security strategy is actually evolving under real-world constraints.

Based on a global survey of more than 1,000 enterprise decision-makers, it shows a market shifting decisively from compliance-driven spending to outcome-driven resilience — where integration, operational efficiency, and AI-enabled productivity matter more than raw budget growth.

Download the report to gain concrete insight into where security budgets are truly expanding (modernization and risk alignment), why consolidation is driven by interoperability rather than cost savings, and how AI has moved from experimentation to necessity as teams face flat budgets and staffing pressure.

Most compelling, the report reframes cybersecurity as a business continuity imperative with data integrity and operational uptime now outweigh reputation or financial loss in executive priorities.

 

SNEAK PEEK INSIDE THE REPORT
Hyperscaler Marketplaces

  • Budgets are rising, driven by modernization and risk alignment. Most organizations expect cybersecurity budget increases, primarily to modernize infrastructure (41%), strengthen risk management (34%), and support digital transformation (32%).
  • Buyers prioritize effectiveness, but integration is the biggest obstacle. Product capability leads vendor selection, while integration requirements—and their complexity—remain the dominant friction in the buying process.
  • Platforms dominate, but tool sprawl continues. Platform adoption is growing, yet more organizations plan to add vendors than consolidate, favoring best-of-breed tools to fill capability gaps.
  • Consolidation is about integration, not savings. Organizations streamline vendors to improve interoperability, threat correlation, and policy management—not primarily to cut costs.
  • Systemic threats outweigh ransomware in overall concern. Cloud incidents, data breaches, and malware rank higher in aggregate risk than ransomware, reflecting concern for broad environment integrity.
  • Resilience matters more than financial or reputational loss. Data loss and operational downtime are the top fears, far outweighing concerns about fines, ransom payments, or brand damage.
