Government & Public Sector Cybersecurity Market

The government & public sector cybersecurity market is projected to grow from USD 47.82 billion in 2025 to USD 70.54 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period. This growth is driven by national cybersecurity strategies and stricter regulatory mandates aimed at protecting critical infrastructure and government digital assets. Public-private coordination is also becoming more structured to improve threat preparedness and response.

Countries such as Australia, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, India, and the United States are strengthening cyber laws, task forces, and oversight frameworks. These efforts focus on securing government networks and improving cyber readiness across public agencies, supporting sustained demand for cybersecurity solutions and services.

Market Ranking:

In the government and public sector cybersecurity market, competition is led by large platform providers, supported by specialized vendors delivering mission-critical protection for national infrastructure and public services. Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Cisco, and Zscaler hold strong positions due to their mature zero-trust architectures, public sector cloud compliance, and deep integration with federal and civilian agency requirements. These vendors are driving government modernization through the adoption of secure cloud solutions, identity-based controls, and artificial intelligence-driven threat detection.

Endpoint and threat prevention capabilities are being reinforced by vendors such as CrowdStrike and Check Point, which support defense, law enforcement, and state authorities through continuous monitoring and rapid incident response frameworks. In parallel, CyberArk and Tenable play a crucial role in privileged access governance and exposure management, reflecting the increasing regulatory oversight in public sector environments.

Across operational technology-driven critical infrastructure, Honeywell, Dragos, and Claroty focus on securing energy, transportation, and smart city systems against escalating geopolitical cyber risks. Threat intelligence and investigation specialists, such as Recorded Future and Magnet Forensics, are expanding support for national security and law enforcement operations.

At the same time, providers including Forescout, Vectra AI, Heimdal Security, and Cydome address device visibility, artificial intelligence-driven detection, public sector resilience, and maritime cybersecurity compliance.
