AI security market to reach $11.61bn by 2031
Growing use of generative and agentic AI is driving demand for tools that secure models, applications and AI agents during operation.
The global AI trust, risk and security management (AI TRiSM) market is expected to grow from $3.09 billion in 2026 to $11.61 billion by 2031, according to MarketsandMarkets. The forecast represents a compound annual growth rate of 30.3%.
Growth is being driven in part by wider deployment of generative and agentic AI. These systems can interact with sensitive data, users and enterprise tools, creating new risks around data leakage, prompt injection, unauthorized access and unsafe automated actions.
The forecast comes alongside rapid growth in adjacent AI cybersecurity markets. As a&s Middle East previously reported, the AI Security Operations Center market is projected to grow from $18.10 billion in 2026 to $47.07 billion by 2031. While AI SOC platforms use artificial intelligence to strengthen security operations, AI TRiSM focuses on securing and governing the AI systems themselves.

Runtime security takes larger role
MarketsandMarkets expects security and runtime protection to account for the largest share of the AI TRiSM market.
Unlike controls applied only before deployment, runtime security continuously monitors AI inputs, outputs and agent activity. It can also enforce security and governance policies while an AI system is operating.
The shift reflects a broader move from AI governance based mainly on policies and assessments toward continuous monitoring and intervention once models and agents are deployed. MarketsandMarkets says this change is becoming more important as enterprises connect AI agents to data, applications and other business systems.
Smaller organizations are also expected to become an important source of growth. The SME segment is forecast to record the highest CAGR as businesses look for scalable tools to assess AI models, identify vulnerabilities and apply governance controls without maintaining dedicated AI risk teams.
North America leads the market
North America is expected to remain the largest regional market during the forecast period. MarketsandMarkets points to the region’s established AI ecosystem, cybersecurity industry and growing focus on AI governance and risk management.
Adoption is expanding across financial services, healthcare, government, technology and critical infrastructure.
Key players
MarketsandMarkets identifies IBM, Microsoft, Accenture, Palo Alto Networks, Deloitte, NeuralTrust, Cisco, ServiceNow, PwC, EY and Veeam Software among the leading companies in the AI TRiSM market.
