Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Zenity for its innovative approach to securing AI agents from buildtime to runtime

Zenity, the leading end-to-end security and governance platform for AI agents, today announced that it has been selected as the winner of the first ever “Agentic AI Security Solution of the Year” award in the 9^th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.

Zenity is the first security and governance platform purpose-built for AI agents - spanning SaaS, home-grown platforms (Cloud), and end-user devices (Endpoint). Trusted by many Fortune 500 enterprises across industries, Zenity helps security teams confidently adopt AI by delivering defense in depth for AI agents with full-lifecycle coverage: from agent discovery and posture management to real-time detection, prevention, and response. As enterprises adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, AWS Bedrock, and developer tools like GitHub Copilot, Zenity eliminates blind spots and enforces consistent policy across environments so organizations can innovate with AI, without compromising security.

“AI agents operate in ways that require a different thought process for how to secure them,” said Gal Malka, VP of engineering at Zenity. “At Zenity, we look beyond isolated threats to understand how risks unfold across an agent’s entire workflow. We continuously observe how agents process information, make decisions, and take action, building a deep, contextual understanding of their behavior, intent, and impact. Thank you to CyberSecurity Breakthrough for this recognition as the ‘Agentic AI Security Solution of the Year.’ We will continue to give security teams the tools to keep up with business innovation with confidence and clarity. AI agents are everywhere, and with Zenity, security becomes an enabler of AI transformation, not a barrier.”

The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Covering a wide range of categories – including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more – the annual program highlights the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.

The 2025 awards program received thousands of nominations from more than 20 countries around the world, representing everything from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

“Zenity's breakthrough technology delivers protection that empowers innovation and enables AI to scale, securely,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “In a world where AI agents are writing code, making decisions, and interacting with sensitive data, Zenity’s platform is designed to understand and govern autonomous AI behavior. Zenity enables customers to realize the full value of innovating with AI agents without compromising on security.”

Additionally, the company offers leadership through its research arm, Zenity Labs, disclosing critical 0-click vulnerabilities in agentic platforms, known as “AgentFlayer,” as well as shaping industry standards through its leadership within OWASP and MITRE. Zenity Labs also recently hosted the AI Agent Security Summit, a community event that brought together researchers and security professionals to share findings, compare real-world incidents, and shape the future of securing autonomous systems.
