The automated breach and attack simulation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.51 billion in 2023 to $0.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including regulatory compliance requirements that necessitate robust cybersecurity measures, a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, heightened awareness of cyber risks among organizations, a dynamic and evolving threat landscape, and an increased frequency of cyber attacks. These factors collectively contributed to the growth of the automated breach and attack simulation market during the historic period.

The automated breach and attack simulation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of the attack surface, the global increase in remote work, evolving cybersecurity regulations, and the scalability offered for large enterprises. Major trends expected during this period encompass continuous testing and assessment practices, integration with security orchestration platforms, an increased emphasis on realism in simulations, assessments focused on cloud security, the impact of global regulatory compliance driving adoption, and the growing importance of vendor risk management. These trends collectively contribute to the sustained growth of the automated breach and attack simulation market.

The burgeoning complexities associated with security threats due to an escalating number of attack vectors are poised to drive the expansion of the automated breach and attack simulation market in the foreseeable future. In cybersecurity, these attack vectors allow unauthorized network access, leading to various malicious outcomes, exploitation of system vulnerabilities, malware installation, and cyber-attacks. Ekransystem Inc. reported that insider threats pose moderate or greater vulnerability for 74% of organizations, attributing 22% of security incidents to insiders. This surge in attack vectors stands as a primary factor fueling the growth of the automated breach and attack simulation market.

The increasing risks associated with cyberattacks are anticipated to significantly propel the automated breach and attack simulation market forward. Cyberattacks, defined as attempts to access computers, computing systems, or networks with malicious intent, have prompted the use of automated breach and attack simulation tools. These tools play a pivotal role in proactively identifying vulnerabilities, testing system defenses, and preparing organizations to fortify their cybersecurity against potential threats. For example, the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) reported a 15% increase in phishing attacks in the first quarter of 2022, totaling 1,025,968 attacks, up from 888,585 attacks in the previous quarter. Consequently, the growing risk landscape of cyber threats propels the augmented growth of the automated breach and attack simulation market.

Technological advancements constitute a prominent trend gaining traction within the automated breach and attack simulation market. Companies operating in this domain are consistently emphasizing the introduction of new technologies to maintain relevance and competitiveness. SecurityGen, an Italy-based telecom security company, introduced ACE, the industry's pioneering automated Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platform for mobile operators in April 2022. ACE offers a continuous, automated approach to assess and enhance the security posture of mobile operators by continuously testing network strength, identifying potential gaps and vulnerabilities, and simulating real-world attacks on the network for proactive threat mitigation.

Major companies within the automated breach and attack simulation market are strategically emphasizing the introduction of attack stimulation services as a means to secure a competitive advantage in the industry.
