Astrix has been recognized as a sample vendor in the new “Agentic AI Ecosystem Security” category within the 2025 Gartner® Emerging Tech Impact Radar: AI Cybersecurity Ecosystem, released on October 17, 2025.

Gartner positions this category in the 1–3 year adoption horizon, assigning it a “High” mass rating — signaling broad, transformative impact across enterprises as AI agents become integral to business operations. This acknowledgment places Astrix among the innovators leading the charge to secure AI agents, non-human identities (NHIs), and machine-to-machine interactions in the emerging era of autonomous, interconnected systems.

Why This Recognition Matters

Gartner’s latest research underscores a critical inflection point in enterprise AI adoption. The report forecasts that:

• By 2030, over 60% of enterprises will secure the AI lifecycle within an integrated AI security platform — up from less than 10% in 2025.
• Through 2029, more than 50% of successful cybersecurity attacks against AI agents will exploit access control weaknesses, often through prompt injection and identity misuse.

These findings validate the urgency of securing AI agents as first-class identities—each with access, credentials, and behavioral patterns that require the same rigor as human users.

Understanding ‘Agentic AI Ecosystem Security’

For the first time, Gartner has identified Agentic AI Ecosystem Security as a critical emerging technology category.
Defined as “an integrated framework designed to protect and govern advanced AI systems that operate autonomously within multiagent systems (MAS),” this category focuses on the identity, behavior, and interconnectivity of AI agents.

Key features include:

• AI agent discovery and observability across cloud and enterprise ecosystems.
• AI-native security controls — continuous posture management, behavioral analytics, and testing.
• Scalable guardrails for embedded, third-party, and autonomous AI usage.
• Auditability and governance across multi-agent workflows and Model Context Protocol (MCP) environments.

Astrix’s inclusion highlights its role in shaping how enterprises discover, monitor, and control these dynamic AI identities.

Astrix: Built for the Agentic AI Era

From inception, Astrix has been purpose-built to secure the intersection of AI agents and machine identities. As enterprises deploy increasingly autonomous systems from MCP-connected AI assistants to multi-agent orchestration frameworks, Astrix provides the visibility and control needed to mitigate risk.

Astrix’s Agent Control Plane (ACP) directly addresses Gartner’s core findings by offering:

• Comprehensive AI agent discovery: Detect every AI agent, API key, service account, and non-human identity across environments.
• Continuous security posture management: Identify and remediate overprivileged agents, misconfigurations, and abnormal behaviors.
• Zero Trust enforcement: Apply just-in-time (JIT) credentials, adaptive policies, and automated audit trails.
• Multi-agent observability: Visualize inter-agent communication and access flows in real time.

This architecture aligns directly with Gartner’s observation that “traditional security controls are inadequate for agentic AI systems due to their dynamic behaviors, external dependencies, and real-time decision-making capabilities.”

Strategic Context: The Future of AI Security

The AI Cybersecurity Ecosystem report represents a pivotal recognition that AI governance, identity, and access management (IAM) are merging into a unified discipline.
As AI agents gain autonomy, the attack surface shifts from human misuse to machine overreach — where rogue prompts, compromised tokens, or misconfigured integrations can trigger large-scale impact.

Astrix bridges this gap with a non-human identity-first approach, enabling organizations to secure AI workloads, agents, and integrations holistically.

This recognition follows Astrix’s recent inclusion in another Gartner report — the Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Global Attack Surface Grid — further validating its leadership in securing the new frontier of agentic AI ecosystems.

Conclusion

Astrix’s recognition in the 2025 Gartner Emerging Tech Impact Radar: AI Cybersecurity Ecosystem is more than an accolade—it’s a strategic validation of the company’s mission:

To secure every connection, credential, and capability that powers the next generation of AI agents.

As AI ecosystems evolve, Astrix remains at the forefront, empowering organizations to harness the potential of Agentic AI securely—through identity-first control, Zero Trust enforcement, and continuous visibility across the full AI lifecycle.
