Secure Agentics has been recognised with an Honorable Mention in the Black Hat USA 2026 Startup Spotlight, one of the security industry's most selective startup competitions. This year's cohort comprised four finalists and four honorable mentions.

The recognition is for Adrian, our open-source runtime security tool for AI agents. Adrian analyses an agent's tool calls and reasoning as it runs, and can block prompt injection, malicious tool use, and out-of-remit actions before they execute. We are extremely proud of what our team has achieved, and grateful for all the community contributors who helped make Adrian better.
