Momentum Cyber was recently featured in Investor’s Business Daily, in a piece by Reinhardt Krause examining how AI is reshaping both sides of the cybersecurity industry — arming attackers with unprecedented speed while pushing enterprises and investors toward AI-native defense. The article cited Momentum Cyber’s finding that AI-related cybersecurity acquisitions jumped to 29 in H1 2026, up from just 10 in the first half of 2025, as incumbent vendors race to acquire AI capabilities rather than build them from scratch.

The article situated that trend alongside a broader “AI-versus-AI” narrative from executives at CrowdStrike, Google Cloud, and Palo Alto Networks, and highlighted Gartner’s forecast that the global AI security market will grow to $221 billion by 2030 — nearly two-thirds of the overall $353 billion cybersecurity market.
