What happened
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has released its first Agentic AI Security Innovator Market Map, and Knostic has been recognized as foundational to securing agentic AI in the categories of Governance, Observability, and Supply Chain Integrity.
Being included once on a CSA market map is meaningful, but we’re particularly excited to be included three times, reflecting the architectural choice we made at the start. Knostic's goal is to build a single coherent layer that addresses the agentic AI security problem from end to end, rather than a point tool for any one slice of it.
Why CSA's Recognition Matters
CSA isn't an analyst firm with paid coverage tiers. It's the industry body that authored the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) and AI Controls Matrix (AICM), the standards security teams already use to evaluate cloud and AI risk. When CSA publishes a market map, it's mapping vendors against best practices that security practitioners themselves have decided matter.
That makes inclusion in this map fundamentally because it's a buyer's tool, organized around the controls security leaders are actually looking for.
The Three Categories Knostic Was Named In
Together, the categories where Knostic appears describe a complete control surface for agentic AI:
- Governance: the policies and controls that govern how AI agents behave inside the enterprise
- Observability: visibility into what agents are doing, what they're touching, and what they're outputting production
- Supply Chain Integrity: control over the MCP servers, extensions, prompts, and rules that feed and shape agent behavior
Most vendors on this map address one of these capabilities. A handful address two. Knostic is among the few that operate across all three, because that is the only way to secure agentic AI at enterprise scale. Governance without observability is policy without enforcement. Observability without supply chain integrity is visibility into a system you can't actually control.
A Category Coming Into Focus
The publication of this market map is a clear signal that the agentic AI security category is maturing. Enterprises are no longer asking whether they need to govern AI agents. They're asking how, and they want vendors with coherent answers across the stack, not capability fragments.
We're proud to be recognized as one of those vendors, and grateful to CSA for the rigor it brings to defining what enterprise-grade agentic AI security actually looks like.
