The security and vulnerability management market is projected to grow from USD 17.55 billion in 2025 to USD 24.07 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the forecast period. The increasing number of security breaches caused by internal vulnerabilities, combined with the enforcement of stringent regulatory standards and data privacy compliance, is significantly driving the growth of the security and vulnerability management market. Internal weaknesses such as misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and human errors expose organizations to cyber threats and data loss. At the same time, global regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA are compelling enterprises to adopt robust vulnerability management solutions to ensure compliance, prevent penalties, and safeguard sensitive information. These factors collectively encourage organizations to implement proactive, automated, and continuous security monitoring frameworks to mitigate internal and external risks.
