Stellar Cyber Positioned Among Top Two Progressive Companies in MarketsandMarkets AI SOC Market Evaluation

Recognition comes as the global AI SOC market is projected to reach $47.1 billion by 2031

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stellar Cyber, an open and agentic Integrated Security Operations Center (ISOC) platform, announced today that MarketsandMarkets has recognized the company as a Progressive Company in the AI Security Operations Center market.

MarketsandMarkets positioned Stellar Cyber as one of the top two Progressive Companies by market share/rank. In the report’s startup and SME evaluation matrix, Stellar Cyber is placed near the top of the Progressive Companies quadrant based on market share/rank and product footprint. Progressive Companies are building market presence with strong solution portfolios, innovative offerings, and growth strategies.

AI is rapidly reshaping the SOC, and this recognition marks Stellar Cyber’s key positioning within the evolving landscape. MarketsandMarkets projects the global AI SOC market will grow from $18.1 billion in 2026 to $47.1 billion by 2031, a 21.1% compound annual growth rate, with autonomous AI agents, AI-native SOC platforms, generative AI security copilots, automated investigation, and unified security operations at the heart of that growth.

AI SOC is becoming the architecture for next-generation security operations

The research points to a shift away from fragmented, alert-centric operations toward unified AI-native platforms that bring together detection, triage, investigation, and response. Software platforms are projected to grow from $11.3 billion in 2026 to $28.6 billion in 2031, as enterprises increasingly consolidate security analytics, AI agents, investigation, and response into a common operating environment.

“Security operations is moving from a collection of tools toward an integrated operating model. That is exactly why we believe ISOC matters. By bringing detection, triage, investigation, and response together and applying the right form of AI at each stage, security teams can move faster without removing the human judgment that matters.”
— Aimei Wei, Founder and CTO, Stellar Cyber
