Enterprises across the United States are ramping up their cybersecurity investments to combat increasingly sophisticated threats, according to a recent report released by Information Services Group (ISG), a global technology research and advisory firm focused on AI-enabled transformation.

Rising Complexity of Threats Drives Proactive Security Adoption

The report highlights that today’s cyber threats have become far more complex, while regulatory requirements continue to grow and evolve. As a result, American companies are seeking automated, proactive cybersecurity solutions that align closely with their broader business objectives.

Organizations are partnering with service and solution providers to implement adaptive, AI-powered systems that bolster enterprise resilience. This shift comes amid the rising number of data breaches and ransomware incidents recorded throughout 2024, underscoring the urgent need for robust security frameworks.

“Companies in the U.S. want cybersecurity solutions that are automated, proactive, and deeply integrated with their strategic goals,” said Doug Saylors, Partner and Leader of ISG Cybersecurity.

AI, Automation, and Zero Trust Gain Ground

The ISG report emphasizes that advanced analytics, automation, and AI are central to transforming security operations. These technologies improve efficiency by streamlining workflows, automating routine tasks, and codifying incident response processes. AI innovations also enable deeper data interpretation, faster pattern recognition, and real-time decision-making – capabilities that will continue to shape technical security services into 2025.

However, as threat actors increasingly harness AI for rapid malware deployment and vulnerability exploitation, security teams are equally adopting AI-powered defenses capable of processing vast data volumes to detect threats undetectable through manual means. This dual trend has heightened the demand for solutions that safeguard AI models, training datasets, and applications from attacks like data poisoning.

Zero trust architecture is also gaining significant traction among U.S. enterprises aiming to secure assets across distributed environments. The model relies on identity and access management (IAM) to verify users and microsegmentation to isolate critical resources, making it ideal for organizations undergoing rapid cloud migrations.
