MarketsandMarkets projects the cyber warfare market to nearly double from $14.99bn in 2026 to $28.75bn by 2031, driven by attacks on military systems.

Growth is driven by rising attacks on military networks, reliance on connected platforms and cloud command-and-control systems, and Western investment in offensive cyber capabilities. Europe is projected to hold the largest market share, supported by NATO's shared cyber capabilities and joint exercises. Cloud-based security is expected to be the fastest-growing market segment.

Top 10 Best CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection) Platforms in 2026

GBHackers ranks 10 CNAPP platforms for 2026, naming Wiz, Prisma Cloud, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud as category leaders.

Wiz is ranked best for graph-based correlation, Prisma Cloud for the broadest module set, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud for Azure economics. It also cites Google's approximately $32 billion agreement to acquire Wiz, announced in March 2025, as buyer leverage and a reason to seek roadmap and neutrality protections in multi-year contracts.
