AI Security Operations Center (SOC) Market

The AI Security Operations Center (SOC) market is projected to grow from USD 18.10 billion in 2026 to USD 47.07 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 21.1% during the forecast period.

The growing sophistication of AI-enabled cyberattacks is emerging as a major growth driver in the AI SOC market. As adversaries leverage generative and agentic AI to launch faster, more evasive attacks, organizations are adopting AI SOC platforms that deliver real-time threat detection, autonomous investigations, and rapid response. By combining advanced analytics with machine-speed automation, AI SOCs reduce attacker dwell time, strengthen cyber resilience, and enable enterprises to proactively defend increasingly complex hybrid and cloud environments.
