Vendor list · AI security

AI security platforms, scored on the published rubric.

AI-native security platforms - email and behavior protection, bot and fraud defense, the enterprise browser, secure access, identity verification, SecOps automation, and security for AI applications and agents themselves. Same evaluation protocol as every Yardstick vendor list.

Cohort inclusion criteria

  • Threat detection & prevention: AI-native detection of email and account-takeover attacks, bots and fraud, and web or endpoint threats, with measured catch-rate or false-positive evidence where published.
  • Secure access & identity: the enterprise browser, secure web access, and AI identity verification or biometrics.
  • SecOps automation: AI-driven detection, triage, and automated response or SOAR orchestration.
  • Security for AI: firewalls and guardrails for LLM and agent applications, adversarial testing, and trust and safety for the AI era.

This cohort deliberately spans two sub-flavors under one rubric: securing the enterprise with AI, and securing AI itself. Each vendor is scored on its actual coverage of every dimension - a dimension a vendor's product category structurally does not address scores zero, not a penalty for missing evidence. A single-surface specialist is not penalized on its own surface; it simply scores lower on protected-surface coverage.

Rubric (7 dimensions)

  • Threat-detection efficacy (22%) - measured catch rate and false-positive discipline, including coverage of novel and AI-generated attack classes. The heaviest-weighted dimension.
  • AI-native detection architecture (18%) - AI/ML as the detection engine versus signatures or rules with AI bolted on. Heritage-sensitive.
  • Protected-surface coverage (12%) - breadth across email, web and browser, endpoint, identity, cloud, and the AI-application surface.
  • Response + remediation automation (13%) - auto-remediation and SOAR depth versus alert-only.
  • Integration ecosystem (15%) - pre-built connectors across SIEM / SOAR / IdP / EDR / cloud and documented APIs.
  • Compliance + certifications (8%) - SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and emerging AI-security attestations.
  • Time-to-value (12%) - deployment-to-protection latency and onboarding speed.
