According to AI TIMES, Gartner said the AI security market will grow to about KRW 7 trillion in 2027 and forecast in a report released on August 31 that the spread of enterprise AI will drive up security spending. In particular, AI usage control is expected to post a strong growth rate of 73%, suggesting that demand is rapidly expanding beyond simple security reinforcement to managing AI use more broadly. The article notes that attacks targeting AI systems themselves and supply chain risks are growing at the same time, making them difficult to address with existing security tools alone. As a result, companies are likely to move away from general software security methods and instead adopt both AI-specific controls and visibility tools. Market observers also say competition will split by segment, with some areas led by incumbent firms' expansion strategies and others shaped by new entrants. In the end, as the race to adopt AI accelerates, the process of establishing specialized security systems to operate it safely is emerging as a separate market.

Perspective

The key point here is that AI is no longer an add-on feature managed within existing security frameworks, but an independent domain that requires its own control and defense logic. The market expansion outlook and strong growth rate suggest that companies' attention is moving from the experimentation stage to the operational stage, and that going forward, how safely AI is used and managed may become part of competitiveness, rather than simply how much it is used.
