We’re proud to share that NeuralTrust has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in Gartner’s Market Guide for Guardian Agents, under Agent Risk and Security Specialists.
This recognition reflects the accelerating need for independent oversight and enforcement layers as organizations deploy increasingly autonomous AI agents across business-critical environments.
Guardian agents: the next control layer for AI systems
As AI agents move beyond content generation into decision-making, tool use, and cross-system orchestration, risk is no longer limited to model outputs. It extends to actions, data access, identity propagation, and real-time execution across platforms.
The Market Guide highlights the growing importance of guardian agents, solutions designed to provide:
- AI visibility and traceability
- Continuous assurances and evaluation
- Runtime inspection and enforcement
Together, these capabilities help enterprises oversee agent behavior, enforce policies, and reduce operational and security risk across multi-cloud and multi-agent environments.
Why enterprises need an independent oversight layer
AI agent ecosystems are becoming fragmented across clouds, providers, and frameworks. Native safeguards are often limited to specific platforms, creating governance gaps when agents interact across environments.
The Market Guide emphasizes the importance of enterprise-controlled oversight mechanisms capable of:
- Discovering and inventorying AI agents
- Managing identity and access across systems
- Enforcing information governance policies
- Applying consistent runtime controls
As agent autonomy increases, human review alone is no longer sufficient. Organizations require infrastructure-level controls that operate continuously and independently of model vendors.
NeuralTrust’s approach to agent risk and security
At NeuralTrust, we believe AI trust must be measurable, enforceable, and embedded into runtime infrastructure.
Our platform enables organizations to:
- Monitor and trace agent interactions across tools and APIs
- Continuously evaluate model and agent behavior
- Detect anomalous or risky patterns in real time
- Enforce dynamic policies at the gateway layer
- Conduct automated red teaming to proactively identify vulnerabilities
Being recognized as a Representative Vendor in the Agent Risk and Security Specialists category underscores the growing need for specialized platforms dedicated to AI and agent security posture, threat detection, and runtime defense.
“AI agents introduce a new operational risk surface that cannot be managed with traditional controls alone,” said Joan Vendrell, Co-Founder and CEO of NeuralTrust. “We believe guardian capabilities must evolve into a cross-platform enforcement layer that gives enterprises visibility, policy control, and measurable security across their entire AI ecosystem. This recognition reinforces our mission to make AI adoption secure, observable, and reliable by design.”
Building trustworthy agent ecosystems
As enterprises transition from experimentation to large-scale agent deployment, the focus is shifting from innovation speed alone to operational resilience and governance.
NeuralTrust remains committed to helping organizations build AI systems that are secure to operate, compliant by design, and ready for enterprise scale.
