Tim Sanders predicts that third-party agent guardrail services will become a $30 billion industry within five years (by 2031).
“One thing that I am predicting, and we're seeing it grow this year, but we expect it to really surge over the next few years, is the category of third party agent guardrail services, where companies will manage guardrails, permission requests, exceptions, rollbacks, remediations, QA for companies as they scale their use of agents, but their employees can't keep up with the risk profile and the permissions that are required to keep human in the loop. There's gonna be a massive ecosystem of companies. They're not gonna have the 75% SaaS profit margin. They're gonna feel more like a services company at 30 to 40%, but that's gonna be a $30,000,000,000 industry within five years.”
