End-User Spending On IT Security To Reach $213 Billion In 2025: Reports Gartner
Worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $213 billion in 2025, up from $193 billion in 2024, according to Gartner, Inc. Spending is estimated to increase 12.5% in 2026 to total $240 billion. 'Established security spending will continue as normal, but some organizations are being more cautious with any new security spending in this highly uncertain and challenging climate,' said Ruggero Contu, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner. 'However, higher defense budgets, rising threats, increasing regulatory pressure and better cybersecurity awareness – especially among small and medium-sized businesses – will keep cybersecurity spending strong in the medium to long term.' Security software is the fastest growing segment because more companies continue to move from on-premises to cloud-based systems, which brings new security risks (see Figure 1). Cloud security posture management and cloud access security brokers are the main drivers in this segment. In the forecast period, rising threats and the expanding use of AI and generative AI (GenAI) — by both internal users of AI and attackers — will remain key growth drivers. Figure 1: Gartner Data Snapshot: Information Security End-User Spending by Subsegment, Worldwide, 2024-2026 (Millions of U.S. Dollars) Market 2024 2025 2026 Network Security 21,317 23,273 25,825 Security Services 77,130 83,812 92,780 Security Software 94,960 105,940 121,154 Total 193,408 213,025 239,759 Source: Gartner

Unlike multi-appliance systems, the InfiniStreamNG probe centralizes functionality, leading to a streamlined and energy-efficient setup. Key findings include:• A 23% average electricity reduction across 500+ InfiniStreamNG devices without compromising performance• Lower energy usage through reduced rack space and simplified deployments • Intelligent data processing that minimizes compute and storage needs Ray Jones, senior director of platform product management at NETSCOUT, said the company optimized the InfiniStreamNG platform to lower energy and operational costs while maintaining essential visibility in complex environments. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability. It has set science-based emissions reduction targets, aiming to cut absolute Scope 1 emissions by 57.4% and Scope 2 emissions by 42% by FY2030 from an FY2022 baseline.
