Adversa AI Wins First-Ever "Most Innovative Agentic AI Security" Award at RSA 2026 — Agent Security Becomes Standalone Discipline

Adversa AI announced on April 1, 2026 that it has been named Most Innovative Agentic AI Security at the Global InfoSec Awards during RSA Conference 2026. This is a landmark moment: the first time RSA has recognized a dedicated award category specifically for agentic AI security, reflecting the maturation of this threat category from theoretical concern to production reality.

The Global InfoSec Awards are judged by leading cybersecurity experts and recognize companies demonstrating innovation, effectiveness, and real-world impact. Adversa AI was selected among hundreds of cybersecurity vendors worldwide.

Adversa AI platform enables organizations to continuously stress-test AI agents, GenAI applications, and MCP-based architectures. Key capabilities include continuous AI red teaming against real attacker techniques, detection of prompt injection, goal hijacking, and tool misuse, validation of agent behavior across multi-step workflows, risk identification in AI integrations with APIs/tools/external systems, and reports aligned with OWASP AI Vulnerability Scoring System.

The company co-leads the CoSAI Agentic AI Security workstream, serves as core members of OWASP AIVSS, and contributes to CSA and NIST AI security standards. They also created SecureClaw, one of the most widely adopted open-source security frameworks for AI agents.

CTO Alex Polyakov stated: AI agents make autonomous decisions, call external tools, and chain actions across systems in ways traditional testing cannot reach. A true AI red teaming platform must think like an attacker.

Gartner projects that by 2028, more than 33% of enterprise applications will incorporate agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024, creating attack surfaces that traditional security testing cannot address. The platform extends automated security testing to enterprise-scale environments in financial services, insurance, and government.

This award signals that the cybersecurity industry now treats agentic AI security as a distinct, investment-worthy discipline rather than a subset of general AI safety.
