Holistic AI Named a Cool Vendor for AI Security by Gartner ®

Leading Analyst Firm Identifies Providers with Innovative Ways of Securing AI Applications, Supporting AI Trust, Risk, and Security Management

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Holistic AI, the leading AI governance platform for the enterprise, today announced it is one of just five companies named a Cool Vendor in the October 23, 2024 report, Cool Vendors™ for AI Security by Jeremy D’Hoinne, Bart Willemsen, Avivah Litan, and Dennis Xu at Gartner, Inc. The report highlights the operational challenges security and risk management leaders face in terms of compliance concerns and attacks aimed at AI systems. Further, the report identifies providers with innovative ways of securing AI applications, supporting AI trust, risk, and security management capabilities.

With “AI Governance Platforms” identified in Gartner’s recent Top Ten Strategic Technology Trends 2025, the report explains the use of AI technology inherently brings more specific risks with it. The analysts point out there are frameworks and guidelines available, such as the AI trust, risk, and security management (AI TRiSM), which provides functional areas for mitigating AI and security risks.

“We are honored that Holistic AI, with our purpose-built AI governance platform, has been recognized by Gartner as a ‘Cool Vendor,’” said Emre Kazim, Co-CEO of Holistic AI. “The reality is that misalignment between teams on how to best measure, mitigate, and manage AI risks often results in bottlenecks and delays, stalling projects before they even launch. Conversely, rushing AI deployments without proper safeguards can expose organizations to severe operational breakdowns, security vulnerabilities, reputational damage, and financial losses. Our goal is to empower organizations to realize AI’s full potential, safely and at scale.”
