Tenet Security Wins Two Gold Awards at the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards

2 min read

We are proud to announce that Tenet Security has been recognized with two Gold Awards at the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.

Tenet Security took home Gold in both:

  • Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company
  • Agentic AI Security

These awards reflect the work our team has put into solving one of the most urgent and underaddressed challenges in enterprise security today: protecting autonomous AI agents at runtime.

Why This Recognition Matters

As enterprises accelerate the deployment of autonomous AI agents, systems that execute code, access databases, call APIs, and make decisions without human intervention, the security industry has largely remained focused on traditional perimeters. Firewalls, EDR tools, and identity controls were built for a different era. They see processes and users. They do not see what agents actually do at runtime.

Tenet Security was built to change that. Our Runtime Defense Platform gives enterprises the ability to observe, control, and secure autonomous AI agents, from pre-deployment red teaming to active runtime interception and kill-switch enforcement.

Being recognized as the Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company and the category leader in Agentic AI Security affirms that the industry recognizes both the severity of the problem and the urgency of solving it.

About Tenet Security

Tenet Security is the Runtime Defense Platform for autonomous AI agents. Founded by the team behind Cisco’s AI Defense initiative, we protect the most privileged entities in the enterprise: autonomous agents that operate at the intersection of your data, your infrastructure, and your business logic.

Our platform covers the full agentic security lifecycle: discovering every agent operating in your environment, providing complete visibility into agent behavior at runtime, and actively preventing threats before they execute against live infrastructure.
