Incident Response System Market Overview

The Incident Response System Market Size is valued at USD 18.39 billion in 2025, is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 21.55 billion in 2026 and ultimately achieving USD 67.35 billion by 2035, at a steady CAGR of 17.3%. In 2025, North America is anticipated to lead with a 48% share of the global Incident Response System Market, driven by cybersecurity investments in enterprises.

An incident response system, also known as an incident response plan or process, is a structured approach used by organizations to effectively manage and respond to cybersecurity incidents and breaches. It is a comprehensive set of procedures, policies, and guidelines that outlines the steps to be taken when a security incident occurs.

The market is projected to boom with an extensive growth rate during the forecast 2022-2028 due to the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats faced by organizations across various sectors. Furthermore, the market is bifurcated by type, by application, by regional expansion of the market. In terms of type of service, backup and disaster recovery solutions threat management systems, and, surveillance systems services are being offered by key vendors. On the other hand, SMEs and large enterprises are the key application segment to spike the demand for the service. 

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact:

Remote Work Generated an Opportunity for the Cybersecurity System Service during the Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the incident response system market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about the trend of working from home and the rapid shift to remote work led to an increase in cyber threats which created a requirement for incident response systems and cybersecurity solutions to control data breaches. Organizations realized the importance of robust incident response capabilities which resulted in higher investments and heightened awareness. Additionally, remote incident response capabilities and cloud-based solutions gained prominence, while regulatory changes influenced compliance requirements. However, supply chain disruptions affected the availability of components. Considerably, the pandemic highlighted the critical need for effective incident response systems and cybersecurity preparedness in the face of evolving threats.

Latest Trends

Trend of Automation and Orchestration Inflate Market Opportunities

The market for incidence response systems has been experiencing exponential growth over the last few years due to occurring several trends and developments. There is a growing focus on automating and orchestrating incident response processes. Organizations are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to automate routine tasks, streamline workflows, and improve response times. Automation and orchestration solutions help enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of incident response teams. In addition, the integration of threat intelligence feeds into incident response systems is gaining traction. By incorporating real-time threat intelligence data from various sources, such as security vendors and open-source platforms, organizations can improve their ability to detect and respond to emerging threats quickly. Consequently, the market is going to be benefited from such upgrades in technology and trends in the market which will likely boost the incident response system market growth throughout the projection period.

• According to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), 68% of organizations reported an increase in security incidents in the past year, driving adoption of incident response systems.

• As per the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), over 53% of critical infrastructure organizations now implement automated incident response tools to reduce response time.
