U.S. Firms Boost Cybersecurity with AI and Zero Trust Architecture

US firms are enhancing cybersecurity efforts amid rising threats and AI-driven attacks, with key players like IBM, Accenture, and Deloitte recognized as leaders in cybersecurity services. Zero trust architecture and automation technologies are gaining traction for enhanced security. The demand for advanced cybersecurity services is driving the adoption of technologies like XDR and SSE for safeguarding digital assets.

U.S. firms are intensifying their cybersecurity efforts in response to escalating threats and AI-driven attacks, with key players like IBM, Accenture, and Deloitte recognized as leaders in the field. According to a recent report by Information Services Group (ISG), enterprises are adopting advanced cybersecurity services and solutions to protect their assets from increasingly sophisticated attacks [1].

The report, titled "2025 ISG Provider Lens® Cybersecurity — Services and Solutions," highlights the growing importance of AI and automation in cybersecurity strategies. U.S. enterprises are leveraging advanced analytics and automation to streamline security operations, making them more efficient and effective. AI innovations are enhancing these capabilities by interpreting data, identifying patterns, and making real-time recommendations [1].

Zero trust architecture is gaining significant traction in the U.S., with enterprises seeking to protect resources across ever-wider security perimeters. This approach involves deploying components such as identity and access management (IAM) and microsegmentation to isolate individual assets. Cloud migration and distributed operations are further driving the adoption of zero trust systems [1].

The demand for advanced cybersecurity services is also fueling the adoption of technologies like Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Security Service Edge (SSE). These technologies help safeguard digital assets by providing comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities [1].

Moreover, the report underscores the critical role of strategic security services in enhancing business resilience. These services focus on integrating real-time intelligence to help enterprises devise strategies aligned with their risk profiles. Organizations are also taking advantage of advancements in Security Operations Center/Managed Detection and Response (SOC/MDR) services, including improved proactive threat hunting and prioritization of threats [1].

The report evaluates the capabilities of 116 providers across nine quadrants, naming IBM as a Leader in five quadrants. Other notable leaders include Accenture, Atos, Capgemini, CyberProof, Deloitte, EY, HCLTech, Infosys, Kudelski Security, NCC Group, Optiv, PwC, Rackspace Technology, TCS, Trustwave, Unisys, and Wipro, with several companies recognized as Leaders in multiple quadrants [1].

In the area of customer experience, PwC is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among cybersecurity service and solution providers, reflecting its high customer satisfaction scores [1].

The increasing adoption of advanced cybersecurity technologies and services underscores the growing importance of cybersecurity in the digital age. As U.S. firms accelerate digital transformation, strategic security services will continue to play a crucial role in protecting their assets and ensuring business resilience.
