Adversa AI has been named a winner in the 2026 BIG Innovation Awards in the Innovative Products – Software category for its Adversa AI Agentic AI Security Platform. The Business Intelligence Group recognized the platform's role in addressing the emerging security challenges of autonomous AI agents that plan, act, and execute across enterprise tools, APIs, and workflows.

Adversa AI's recognition in the 2026 BIG Innovation Awards underscores its leadership in protecting the next wave of enterprise AI deployments. As autonomous agents gain the ability to take independent actions across complex systems, traditional application security approaches fall short. The Adversa platform operationalizes the risks outlined in the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI Applications (2026), enabling security teams to continuously test and harden agents against sophisticated threats.
Addressing the Agentic AI Attack Surface The rise of agentic AI introduces attack vectors that extend beyond prompt injection to include goal hijacking, unauthorized tool usage, privilege escalation, supply chain vulnerabilities in agent components, unexpected code execution, memory/context poisoning, and cascading automation failures. These risks have already manifested in early deployments, prompting security leaders to prioritize behavioral validation and continuous red teaming.
Adversa AI's platform delivers repeatable testing loops, sandboxed simulations, and validation of agent decisions against intended goals. This allows CISOs to confidently answer critical questions about agent security posture before production deployment and during ongoing operations.
External Validation and Industry Alignment Adversa AI's capabilities are referenced in the OWASP Agentic AI Security Solutions Reference Guide (Q2/Q3 2025), which maps its features to key agentic risk categories. The platform supports agent scanning, penetration testing of tool calls and cloud API triggers, multi-agent scenario testing, and decision validation—providing comprehensive coverage for the evolving agentic threat landscape.
Leadership Perspective "This award recognizes a hard reality CISOs are confronting: once AI systems can take actions, security must validate behavior—not just inputs and outputs," said Alex Polyakov, Co-Founder of Adversa AI. "We built Adversa to continuously discover agentic AI failures—prompt injection and goal hijack, tool misuse, privilege abuse, memory poisoning, and cascading automation errors—before attackers and incidents do."
