Gartner Forecasts Market for Securing AI to Reach $4.8 Billion in 2027 Amid Rising Cyberthreats

Gartner predicts that the market for securing artificial intelligence (AI) will grow rapidly, reaching nearly $4.8 billion in 2027, a 68.7% increase over 2026, and almost $7.7 billion by 2028. This surge is driven by the urgent need for enterprises to secure AI systems, address emerging vulnerabilities, and strengthen defenses against sophisticated cyberthreats, including growing vulnerabilities and supply chain attacks involving third-party and open-source software in AI projects. Over half of successful cyberattacks on AI agents are expected to exploit access control weaknesses and prompt injections by 2029.
