This growth is driven by rising ransomware incidents, expanding cloud-native ecosystems, and increasingly strict federal and state cybersecurity regulations. Growing cyberattacks targeting financial institutions, healthcare systems, government agencies, retail platforms, and technology companies are speeding up the adoption of proactive security validation strategies. Organizations across the US are moving from periodic, compliance-driven testing to continuous penetration testing, red teaming, and breach-and-attack simulation (BAS) to enhance cyber resilience. The rapid growth of hybrid IT environments, APIs, SaaS platforms, IoT devices, and AI-based applications is significantly expanding the attack surface, increasing the demand for advanced offensive security testing solutions.

Based on organization size, the large enterprises segment will hold the largest market share during the forecast period.

Large enterprises represent the largest share in the US penetration testing market due to their complex IT ecosystems, distributed operations, and valuable digital assets. These organizations operate across multi-cloud, hybrid, and legacy environments, which require frequent red teaming, adversary simulation, and compliance assessments. Strong regulatory oversight and larger cybersecurity budgets further support ongoing investments in advanced penetration testing programs among large enterprises.

By attack surface, the cloud security pentesting segment will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.

Based on attack surface, the cloud security penetration testing segment is expected to have the highest CAGR in the US penetration testing market during the forecast period. Rapid adoption of multi-cloud, SaaS, containerized workloads, and API-driven architectures has greatly expanded enterprise cloud attack surfaces. Increasing misconfigurations, identity-based attacks, and cloud-native vulnerabilities are creating a strong demand for specialized cloud penetration testing, including Kubernetes, serverless, and API security assessments. As organizations move mission-critical workloads to public and hybrid clouds, continuous cloud security validation is becoming a strategic priority.

By vertical, the healthcare segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The healthcare segment is projected to have the highest CAGR in the US penetration testing market during the forecast period, driven by increasing ransomware attacks targeting hospitals, insurers, and digital health platforms. The rapid adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), telehealth services, connected medical devices, and cloud-based patient management systems has greatly expanded the healthcare attack surface. Strict regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and the stricter enforcement of data protection standards are prompting healthcare organizations to conduct regular penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and red team exercises. Growing concerns about patient data breaches, operational disruptions, and third-party supply chain risks are further boosting investments in advanced penetration testing solutions across the US healthcare sector.
