Gartner AI application security market recognition
Overview
In September 2026, Gartner released its Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security, identifying F5 as a ‘Market Shaper’. The report noted F5’s capacity to secure AI across cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments. F5’s own research indicated that 88 per cent of organizations have encountered AI-related security or operational challenges.
By October 2026, CyCraft Technology was identified as the sole ‘Pace Setter’ in the Gartner report for startup vendors. As the only Asia-based vendor recognized, CyCraft utilizes its XecGuard tool to address machine-speed threats such as prompt injection and sensitive data exposure. The company’s leadership emphasized that as AI agents gain authority in enterprise settings, defense mechanisms must be capable of intercepting and tracing decisions in real time.
