We analyze within a mean-field approach the stationary states of the kinetic Ising model described by the Glauber stochastic dynamics and subject to a time-dependent oscillating external field. We have found that the magnetization of the system oscillates in time around a certain value that is zero at high temperatures or large field amplitudes and nonzero at low temperatures and small field amplitudes. The transition from one regime to the other, which corresponds to a spontaneous symmetry breaking, is found to be continuous for sufficiently small values of the field amplitudes. For higher values the transition becomes discontinuous and the system exhibits a dynamical tricritical point.
