The escalating threats of the Internet war in the nation -state, the blackmail of the ransom, the increasing malware attacks, and the security weaknesses due to the poor implementation of the multi -tenant public cloud environments have fueled the demand for advanced cloud security products.
Self -malicious intelligence -based intelligence attacks (AI) and the use of quantum computers to break the traditional encryption of cloud safety providers to raise their game. These factors led to the emergence of a large cloud safety market, which is expected to witness an annual growth rate of 9.1 %, reaching $ 62.9 billion by 2028, according to a report by Marketsandmarkets.
With the high demand for advanced cloud safety, safety providers reach the latest breakthroughs such as zero confidence safety models, AI, automatic learning, new Devsecops practices, CNAPP and quantum secure Psalms to suit their opponents.
Despite many opportunities, the cloud security industry faces challenges related to the lack of skills and high costs due to the high investment in research and development to suit rapidly advanced electronic threats. Since this industry is largely dependent on software imports and exports, the recent tariff poses threats to cybersecurity.
To face these gaps, pioneering cloud security sellers such as Palo Alto Networks Panw, Check Point Software Technologies Chkp, Sentinelone S and Zscale ZS, among other things, are implementing security -based safety solutions to discover proactive threats and automation Response. It also takes advantage of machine learning to analyze the behavioral patterns of users and send smart alerts if a deviation from the user behavior or any threat is discovered.
The Devsecops and CNAPP approach is unified among institutions where security providers promote safety integration in the software development cycle from the coding phase to the publication stage in an attempt to reduce the scope of gaps of applications and cloud communications interface tools.
The implementation of the safety safety measures that limit access to the network, constantly verify the reliability of the user that reaches the network, and the use of artificial intelligence to analyze the behavior of the user in the actual time, also acquires traction between institutions.
This continuous battle between malicious actors and cyber security companies guarantees continuous growth in the sector, providing investors with great opportunities to increase revenues through investing in appropriate companies.
Palo Alto networks entered the cloud safety space with the code to Cloud Platform, PRISMA Cloud. The last FedramP license of Prisma Cloud Panw enabled an increasing number of federal agencies that need to meet the required security standards set by the US government.
Panw also strengthened the PRISMA Cloud by presenting Prisma Cloud Copilot, which takes advantage of obstetric artificial intelligence to simplify the tasks of security analysts. This feature enables analysts to understand user inquiries and respond to it in the natural language more efficiently.
Moreover, in 2025, Panw launched the next version of Prisma Cloud, Cortex Cloud. It is worth noting that Cortex Cloud builds on Prisma and combines CNAPP, cloud detection features and response features. The Cortex Cloud solution offered by Zacks No. 3 (HOLD) sugars to discover threats from third -party, give priority to the mission of artificial intelligence, reduce the risk of a single movement, and unified Cortex XDR agent to enrich cloud safety offers in PanW.

Zacks consensus estimate was linked to PanW Finance 2025 profits at $ 3.22, indicating an annual growth on an annual basis by 13.4 %.

Zscaler entered the cloud security world through the Zero Trust exchange platform. Recently, ZSCaler has strengthened cloud safety offers by implementing the new data security mode management measures that automatically discover Shadow AWS accounts and select access permit for excessive data using artificial intelligence. The data obtained from this process helps safety teams to reduce access and remove shadow accounts, making their cloud systems more transparent.
Zacks Ranner #3 has also provided many improvements to Govcloud to comply with the strict security requirements of government agencies. Government agencies that use cloud safety offers from ZSCaler can use the insulation of the cloud -backed browser from artificial intelligence and IPV6 for safe connection. It is expected that the reinforcement in Govcloud will attract federal customers.
Zacks consensus of the ZSCaler financial profits was linked to 2025 at $ 3.06, indicating an annual decrease of 4.1 %.
