Securing AI is a multi-faceted challenge. From third-party AI tools and embedded Copilots to AI-powered applications and autonomous agents, organizations are adopting AI across their stacks at lightning speed.
It’s therefore not surprising that AI security is highlighted across many different disciplines, which is why we’re excited to share that Aim Security has been named as a Representative Vendor in not one, but three Gartner Hype Cycles for 2025 - a powerful recognition of our platform’s broad, enterprise-ready approach to securing AI:
- Hype Cycle for Data Security Technologies, July 10 2025
- Hype Cycle for Workload and Network Security, July 21 2025
- Hype Cycle for Application Security, July 22 2025
AI Usage Control: Governing the AI You Use
As employees increasingly turn to external GenAI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and countless embedded Copilots, organizations face growing risks from shadow AI, unmonitored data exposure, and compliance violations. According to Gartner, AI usage control enables organizations to:
- Discover and monitor the use of external AI services
- Enforce policies based on user identity, context, and data sensitivity
- Reduce the risk of data leakage, regulatory noncompliance, and unauthorized use
AI Runtime Defense: A Critical Pillar in AI Security
As organizations race to build LLM-based applications, protecting those systems in real time has become critical. According to Gartner, AI runtime defense delivers:
- Intent-based policy enforcement
- Detection of prompt injections, jailbreak attempts, hallucinations, and data leakage
- Centralized visibility and alerting across applications using shared models
AI Security Testing: Shifting Left to Secure the Models You Build
As organizations develop and fine-tune their own models or build LLM-based applications, traditional testing approaches fall short of capturing the unique risks posed by AI - such as jailbreaks, prompt injections, hallucinations, and model misbehavior under real-world conditions. According to Gartner, AI security testing solutions are designed to:
- Identify vulnerabilities in prompts, models, and system configurations
- Simulate adversarial inputs and real-world attack scenarios
- Scan for and flag risky AI model repositories, libraries, frameworks and notebooks.
- Validate model outputs against expected behaviors and risk thresholds
A Complete AI Security Platform that Secures AI usage at Every Touchpoint
Being recognized by Gartner in three Hype Cycles is a strong validation of our vision of building a complete, unified AI security platform that secures AI at every touchpoint - from the third party applications you use to the applications and agents you build and deploy.
The Aim AI Security Platform sets the standard for enterprise-grade AI security. It offers:
- AI Usage Control - Discover, analyze and enforce policies across all AI interactions, unlocking visibility and risk mitigation for existing AI usage, and enablement of net-new AI use-cases
- AI runtime protection - secure homegrown applications and agents against runtime AI attacks. By using our proprietary Aim Engine™️, the Aim FW delivers blazing-fast performance while maintaining the industry's lowest false-positive rate
- AI Runtime Protection - secure your AI development lifecycle, from training to inference, to detect and remediate AI security and compliance risks before they reach production
- AI agent security - Secure AI Agents you build and run – from tool calls and MCP interactions to reasoning steps, running locally or in the cloud.
