Organizations will increase cybersecurity AI spending dramatically from $24 billion in 2023 to $133 billion by 2030.
Measuring ROI on cybersecurity investments with the integration of artificial intelligence has become increasingly challenging.
Reduction in false positives, time saved on routine tasks, faster incident response times and improved threat intelligence accuracy are the metrics for measuring the ROI of cybersecurity investment.
According to the IBM 2024 Cost of a Data Breach report, prevention workflows integrated with AI and automation saved an average of $2.2 million in breach costs compared to those without such technologies.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as security operational efficiency and mean time to detect and respond should be carefully considered when measuring the ROI of cybersecurity investment.
Organizations must adopt a comprehensive approach to measure the impact of AI cybersecurity investment, including proactive capabilities, efficiency gains and quantifiable metrics provided by AI-powered solutions, to get an accurate assessment of cybersecurity ROI.
The integration of AI in cybersecurity will only be more critical as cyber threats continue to evolve, making it essential for organizations to invest in and effectively measure cybersecurity strategies.
