DevSecOps and AWS Cloud Security Engineering
Market Demand for DevSecOps
- The global DevSecOps market was valued at approximately USD $8.84 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD $20.24 billion by 2030, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 13.2%. Grand View Research
- Some industry sources estimate even higher growth, with a projected CAGR of ~24.1% from 2021–2028, and a potential market size of USD $41.66 billion by 2030. StrongDM+1
- The demand for DevSecOps talent is rising faster than traditional DevOps, driven by the increasing need to “shift security left” and integrate automated security into CI/CD workflows. Forbes+1
- Survey data indicates a critical skills gap: many organizations report difficulty finding professionals with combined development + security + operations expertise. Brokee
