When Lalit Ahluwalia talks about the risks of enterprise AI, he doesn’t start with hypothetical scenarios.
The North Texas cybersecurity founder has spent more than two decades in security and risk management, including leadership roles at Wipro, Deloitte, and Accenture. Today, he runs Irving-based DigitalXForce and its services affiliate, iTRUSTXForce.
What concerns him is a set of blind spots inside organizations, such as employees using unapproved AI tools, sensitive data flowing into external systems, gaps in governance, and AI-powered social engineering attacks. He recently described those risks as an “AI Cyberstorm” in a LinkedIn post.
Ahluwalia says DigitalXForce offers a way for organizations to manage cyber risks as part of day-to-day operations, not just during compliance and audit checkpoints.
Last week, the company announced Enterprise TRiSCM, short for Trust, Risk, Security, and Compliance Management, after showcasing the platform earlier this month at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit. DigitalXForce says the platform is designed to provide continuous oversight across AI, cloud, and other enterprise systems.
The company says businesses are adopting generative AI, autonomous “agentic” AI that can act on its own, multi-cloud systems, and early quantum technology faster than traditional security and compliance tools can keep up. “Your security stack was built for human-scale threats,” Ahluwalia said in a May warning. “The next generation of attacks will increasingly operate at machine speed.”
Ahluwalia calls AI-powered TRiSCM “not a product launch” but a “category declaration.”
Traditional governance tools were built for compliance and security tools for protection, but neither was designed to keep up with AI, cloud, operational technology, third parties, and emerging quantum risks, according to the company. “Organizations today are not struggling because they lack data—they are struggling because ‘trust’ itself has become fragmented,” Ahluwalia said, referring to the way different systems and teams hold pieces of an organization’s risk picture.
Watching AI, bracing for quantum
The June launch added two components to the platform.
One, called AI TRiSCM, is meant to monitor a company’s AI systems, from generative tools to “agentic” software and large language models, and to flag “shadow AI,” the apps employees adopt without IT’s sign-off.
The other, Q-ROC, or Quantum Risk Operations Center, is aimed at a future in which quantum computers could weaken some of the encryption that protects data today. One of its features, the company says, is designed to prepare for “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later,” a scenario in which attackers steal encrypted data now, then try to decrypt it once quantum machines are strong enough.
Last fall, in October 2025, the company opened a research hub it calls XForce Galaxy in Irving.
Scaling, ‘no venture war chest’
Ahluwalia founded DigitalXForce in 2023, a year after iTRUSTXForce, and sits on the board of the U.S. India Chamber of Commerce DFW. Ahluwalia recently recounted the company’s rise on LinkedIn. Three years ago, DigitalXForce showed up at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit with a small booth, a bold vision, and “no venture capital war chest,” according to the founder.
This year, the company had “one of the most visible presences on the floor,” which Ahluwalia called humbling. The rise, he wrote, was built on customers and partners believing in the company—and “a team that refused to think small.”
The company now serves enterprises in healthcare, finance, critical infrastructure, and technology.
Chasing $100 million in recurring revenue
In May, DigitalXForce said it was working toward $100 million in annual recurring revenue over the next two to three years, pointing to demand from Fortune 500 companies and interest from what it described as “Tier-1 strategic and institutional investors.” In April, it was named a winner in the 2026 Global InfoSec Awards, presented during the RSA Conference, for products spanning enterprise security, third-party risk, and AI governance.
Ahluwalia believes digital trust will become “one of the most valuable enterprise assets of the next decade.” As he puts it, “Technology enables businesses. Trust sustains them.”
