Airrived has been named among only 11 startups globally in Gartner’s newly released report “Emerging Tech: AI Vendor Race — Startups to Watch in Agentic AI,” published March 23, 2026. Of the 129 companies evaluated, Airrived stands out as the only agentic AI platform purpose-built for cybersecurity and IT operations.
The industry is transitioning from AI systems that assist humans to intelligent systems capable of autonomous decision-making, workflow orchestration, and real-time adaptation. Airrived is addressing this shift by developing the Agentic OS — a governed infrastructure layer that goes beyond copilots and orchestration tools.
The Agentic OS integrates fine-tuned domain models, deep reasoning capabilities, multi-agent orchestration, and policy-driven controls. This architecture transforms experimental autonomous AI into trusted, production-grade operations suitable for high-stakes enterprise environments.
“We are not building another layer on top of existing AI. We are building the operating system that makes autonomous AI safe enough to trust — and powerful enough to transform,” said Anurag Gurtu, Co-founder and CEO, Airrived.
At the core of Airrived’s offering is AetherClaw, its flagship security capability that enables autonomous systems to operate securely across enterprise domains with built-in governance.
Despite emerging from stealth only months ago in February 2026, Airrived is already in production at demanding enterprise environments. Deployments include high-volume, mission-critical agentic workflows at a Fortune 150 insurance company, governed autonomous agents in a global bank’s regulated financial environment, operational intelligence at one of the world’s largest fast-casual restaurant chains, and autonomous operations for a major telecom infrastructure provider.
These are not pilot programs but live, scaled implementations that demonstrate the platform’s ability to deliver reliable, governed agentic intelligence today.
Airrived has received recognition from major industry bodies, including being named a Gartner Tech Innovator in Agentic AI, winner of the Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Agentic AI Platform (highest votes), Global InfoSec Award for Most Advanced in Agentic AI, and several other honors such as Security Today CyberSecured Award and the 2026 AI Excellence Award.
Gartner’s report highlights the growing need for enterprises to adopt multi-agent systems capable of handling complex, cross-domain workflows. Airrived positions itself as the infrastructure provider that makes such large-scale, trusted agentic AI deployment possible in cybersecurity and IT operations.
