Zenity named in Gartner's AI application security emerging market quadrant
Zenity was named a "Market Shaper" by Gartner in the September 2026 "Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security". Gartner notes that most AI application security tools only scan code and confirm the existence of controls at a baseline level, while AI applications introduce risks such as prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and uncontrolled agent behavior, and startups in this space are offering solutions to protect custom-built AI, AI agents, and models. Previously, Zenity was also named a "Company to Watch" in AI agent governance.
Zenity has been named a Market Shaper in the September 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security- Startup Vendors.
Most AI application security tools stop at the mandatory baseline: scan the code, confirm a control exists, move on.
AI applications introduce risks such as prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and rogue agent action. Startups in AI application security offer solutions to secure and protect custom-built AI, AI agents, and models. Cybersecurity leaders can use these insights to evaluate startups in this new market evolution.
This recognition comes shortly after Zenity was named the Company to Beat in AI Agent Governance. We believe these two reports cover the most critical dimensions of the emerging AI security market.
