Tenet Security Named a Hot Company in GenAI Agentic Application Security by Cyber Defense Magazine

We are pleased to announce that Tenet Security has been named a Hot Company in GenAI Agentic Application Security at the InfoSec Awards by Cyber Defense Magazine — one of the most widely read publications in the information security industry.

Recognition at the Forefront of a New Security Category

The InfoSec Awards recognize companies addressing the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity today. Being named a Hot Company in GenAI Agentic Application Security reflects the growing industry consensus around a fundamental shift in the threat landscape: as generative AI moves beyond chatbots into fully autonomous agents, the security stack must evolve to match.

Autonomous AI agents now operate with high-privilege access across enterprise environments — reading and writing to databases, executing code, calling external APIs, and taking actions on behalf of users. Traditional security tools were not built to monitor or intercept what happens at the agent execution layer. That is precisely the problem Tenet Security was founded to solve.

Our Approach to Agentic Application Security

Tenet Security's Runtime Defense Platform provides three core capabilities for enterprises deploying AI agents:

Discover. Full visibility into every first- and third-party agent, tool, and model operating in your environment — including shadow agents that security teams may not know exist.

Investigate. Complete execution transparency across the agent decision tree in real time, exposing the logic behind every tool call, credential access, and autonomous action.

Protect. Agent-Side Simulation™ intercepts hijacked logic paths before they execute against live infrastructure, with a kill-switch capability that contains threats at the moment of detection — not after the damage is done.

About Tenet Security

Tenet Security is the Runtime Defense Platform for autonomous AI agents. Founded by the team behind Cisco's AI Defense initiative, Tenet provides enterprises with end-to-end agentic security — from agent discovery and pre-flight red teaming to real-time runtime protection. Our platform is built on a proprietary intelligence layer trained on millions of live agentic sessions, enabling selective, low-latency threat detection and prevention without disrupting agent performance.

We protect the most privileged entities in enterprise: the autonomous agents operating at the intersection of your data, your infrastructure, and your business logic.
