AI Security Is Becoming a Trillion-Dollar Battleground

[madmax]

The urgency around agent safety is driving rapid growth in AI security. Witness AI recently raised $58 million after reporting more than 500% growth in annual recurring revenue, alongside a fivefold increase in staff. Its co-founder and CEO Rick Caccia says enterprises want independent platforms that provide end-to-end observability over AI systems, rather than relying solely on controls built by model providers.

Analysts predict AI security could become an $800 billion to $1.2 trillion market by 2031, fueled by exponential growth in agent usage and machine-speed attacks. While giants like AWS and Google are building governance tools, Meftah argues the problem is vast enough for standalone players to thrive. As Caccia puts it, the goal isn’t to be acquired — it’s to become the next CrowdStrike or Okta of AI safety.
