A key driver of this expansion is the rapid development of specialized cyber workforces and institutional capabilities. In the United States, NIST is investing in large-scale workforce development grants to address shortages of skilled cybersecurity professionals needed to support public agencies and critical infrastructure. India is advancing similar initiatives through national and state programs to train thousands of cyber commandos and upskill government personnel. Emerging markets such as Moldova, Thailand, and Singapore are also expanding digital-government resilience through collaborative innovation centers and capacity-building projects. These efforts collectively boost long-term spending on training, certification, and managed security operations across the public sector.
Based on solution type, the firewall & VPN segment accounts for the largest market size.
Firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs) remain the most widely adopted solutions in the government and public sectors, forming the backbone of network protection. Firewalls provide perimeter defense and enable agencies to monitor and control traffic into government systems, preventing intrusions and safeguarding sensitive citizen data. VPNs enable secure access for remote staff, field officers, and inter-agency data exchange, a capability that has become increasingly critical as public services transition online. Many government IT environments still depend on hybrid and legacy infrastructure, which reinforces demand for proven firewall and VPN deployments. Therefore, firewalls and virtual private networks continue to receive sustained investment and represent the largest share of cybersecurity spending in the public sector.
By deployment mode, the cloud segment will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Cloud deployment is expanding at the fastest rate as governments move public services, citizen records, and inter-agency collaboration systems away from on-premises environments. This shift supports better efficiency, scalability, and service delivery across public sector operations. As workloads migrate, agencies are increasing their focus on securing data, applications, and systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Cloud environments also enable faster adoption of zero-trust security, secure remote access for employees, and continuous compliance monitoring. Compared with traditional infrastructure, cloud-based security models reduce maintenance overhead and scale more easily. The ability to respond quickly to evolving cyber threats is reinforcing cloud deployment as the preferred model and driving strong growth in this segment.
By security type, the cloud security segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Cloud security is growing rapidly as public sector organizations move more operations onto cloud infrastructure. This includes citizen-facing portals, data storage systems, and inter-agency collaboration platforms. As this migration accelerates, the attack surface expands, and agencies require stronger and more scalable security controls designed for cloud-native environments. Protecting data, applications, and shared services in the cloud has become a core priority for public sector cybersecurity teams. Standardized regulatory frameworks such as the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) are also supporting this shift. FedRAMP offers a clear, government-approved process for adopting cloud services, thereby reducing compliance risk and increasing confidence in cloud procurement. As a result, governments increasingly prioritize cloud-security platforms and services, ranging from identity and access management to encryption, compliance monitoring, and cloud-native threat detection, making cloud security the fastest-growing segment in public-sector cybersecurity.
