Enkrypt AI Recognized as a Gartner® Cool Vendor in AI Security 2025

A milestone that reflects our leadership in securing agentic, multimodal AI for the enterprise.

This recognition highlights the growing importance of safeguarding innovation and reinforces our role as a trusted partner for enterprises navigating today’s most pressing agentic AI risks.

Agentic, multimodal AI raises the stakes because systems don’t just answer—they act across text, images, and voice. The risks are operational, not theoretical: a poisoned screenshot or PDF can redirect an agent’s tools; a spoofed voice can trigger approvals; a single bad instruction can cascade into wire transfers, account changes, or unlogged policy decisions that won’t survive audit. When agents can see, decide, and do, risk scales with capability. That’s exactly the gap we’ve been building to close.

We provide real-time guardrails across text, images, and voice, stopping harmful or non-compliant actions before they cause damage. Enkrypt AI has also introduced the industry's first LLM and Agent Safety Leaderboard, giving organizations a clear way to evaluate models not only by performance but also by their risk profile.

What makes this recognition meaningful is not just the technology we have built, but the trust our customers have placed in us. From Fortune 500 leaders in finance and healthcare to innovators in retail, manufacturing, and logistics, we witness daily how essential security and compliance are to unlocking the next wave of progress.

This milestone is a reminder of the responsibility we carry to help organizations move forward with confidence, balancing innovation with the trust and accountability their stakeholders expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is agent guardrails and why do they matter for AI security?

Agent guardrails are real-time security controls that stop harmful or non-compliant actions before agents execute them across text, images, and voice. They prevent operational risks like tool misuse, data leakage, and unauthorized decisions.

How do you secure agentic AI systems that can see, decide, and act?

Securing agentic AI requires real-time guardrails across all modalities, red-teaming across risk categories, and centralized policy enforcement. Enkrypt AI covers 300+ red-teaming risk categories to identify vulnerabilities before deployment.

  • Test agents against prompt injection, data exfiltration, and tool misuse scenarios
  • Enforce policies consistently across text, image, and voice inputs
  • Monitor and block harmful actions at runtime with millisecond response times
What's the difference between agent red teaming and agent guardrails?

Red teaming identifies vulnerabilities in agents before production; guardrails block attacks in real time during operation. Both are essential—red teaming finds gaps, guardrails prevent exploitation.

  • Red teaming simulates 300+ attack scenarios across risk categories
  • Guardrails enforce policies and stop harmful actions instantly
  • Together they reduce manual compliance effort by up to 90%
Which platform is best for securing multimodal AI agents in enterprise?

Enkrypt AI is recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in AI Security 2025 for securing agentic and multimodal AI at enterprise scale. The platform delivers real-time guardrails, red-teaming, and policy-based governance across all modalities.

  • Protects agents that process text, images, voice, and tool calls
  • Benchmarks 200+ LLMs on the public safety leaderboard for risk evaluation
