US EditionAI Agents Were Everywhere at RSAC. What's Next?
- Juniper Research predicts that telecommunications operators will invest $2.5 billion in AI-based network security in 2025, increasing to $4.6 billion by 2029.
- This expansion is driven by operators placing more emphasis on B2B markets that serve sectors like transportation, medical services, and power, which demand strong protection of their network infrastructure.
- The research highlights that agentic AI enables intelligent, autonomous security systems that protect enterprise traffic by responding to threats in real time while maintaining efficiency.
- Alex Webb, Senior Research Analyst at Juniper, emphasizes that these AI-driven systems are key to enhancing operators' ability to protect enterprise traffic and capturing growth opportunities in the B2B market, urging the adoption of autonomous technologies for effective network security.
- The report warns that without investments in such AI technologies, operators risk losing market share and failing to capitalize on the expanding AI-driven security market projected to exceed $17 billion globally.

AI agents were everywhere at RSAC. What's next?
Last month, I spoke at RSAC, the world’s largest cybersecurity conference with over 43,000 attendees, and I can report that agentic AI was a dominant topic of conversation. From keynotes to coffee break discussions, everyone was debating the implications of autonomous AI systems on security operations. The fast rise and hype, a topic I covered in depth in “From Copilot to agent – AI is growing up, and CISOs need to be ready,” was at the top of m…
Telcos to invest over $17bn in AI-based security to capitalise on B2B by 2029 - Mobile Europe
They must deploy agentic AI to create intelligent and autonomous network security systems, says a new study from Juniper Research, as a central plank of their growth strategy A new study from Juniper Research found that operators will invest more than $17 billion globally over the next five years in AI-based network security. It predicts their total investment will grow from $2.5 billion in 2025 to $4.6 billion in 2029. Juniper Research attribut…
Operators To Invest $17 Billion In AI Security For B2B Telco Opportunities
Juniper Research projects that telecommunications operators will invest over $17 billion globally in AI-based network security over the next five years. The investment is expected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2025 to $4.6 billion in 2029. The research attributes this increased spending to operators' growing focus on B2B revenue streams, particularly in sectors such as transportation, healthcare, and energy, where network security is paramount.
