Bricklayer AI Named "Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year" in 10th Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards Program

Annual Awards Program Recognizes Breakthrough Information Security Products and Companies Around the World

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bricklayer AI, the operating platform for the AI security workforce, today announced that it has been awarded "Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year" in the 10th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.

Bricklayer gives security teams a governed, coordinated workforce of AI agents that works across their existing tools and data. Agents can build on the organization's accumulated intelligence and experience, receiving the context relevant to the work they are performing, while analysts maintain visibility and control over what the system is doing and why. The platform delivers context, coordination, and control across the security operations lifecycle, from alert triage and incident investigation to vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and threat hunting. Every function feeds into the others rather than operating in isolation, allowing customers to start in the SOC and expand across security.

Bricklayer carries organizational intelligence and experience across security workflows so each investigation doesn't start from scratch. Relevant tool data, threat intelligence, prior experience, and organizational knowledge can be brought into the work when needed and permitted. Successful approaches can be captured as reusable procedures, allowing the organization's intelligence and experience to grow over time.

Bricklayer builds a team of specialized agents for the roles your security operation needs, and they work together the way an experienced security team would. Each agent contributes its expertise and builds on the relevant work and intelligence already developed by the team. Through MCP and API connections, Bricklayer works across the customer's existing security stack. Agents triage, investigate, and execute across the security stack, working from approved procedures with full transparency and auditability at every step. Security teams can also assign the right model to each agent, whether optimized for reasoning, speed, cost, or compliance.

Bricklayer provides the governance enterprises need to put an AI workforce into production. Every agent action is visible, auditable, and governed. Role-based access controls, organizational segmentation, and comprehensive audit trails give enterprises and MSSPs the accountability they need to run AI in production with confidence, not just experimentation. Agents surface findings with documented reasoning, and dashboards track outcomes, performance, and progress against goals.

"With Bricklayer, organizations can move from disconnected tools, AI agents, and workflows to a unified operating platform for the AI security workforce. Our customers have already saved the equivalent of 332 analyst years, while reducing investigation times by 60 to 90% and threat intelligence research time by more than 85%," said Adam Vincent, Founder and CEO of Bricklayer AI. "We're a team of security veterans tired of watching good analysts drown in alerts. That's why we're giving them a governed, coordinated AI workforce, so people can focus on the work that matters most. We're honored to be recognized by CyberSecurity Breakthrough as the Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year."

Marking its 10-year milestone this year, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards has spent a decade on a mission that hasn't wavered: to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Over that decade, the program has grown to span a wide range of categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more, consistently shining a light on the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.

In this landmark 10th year, the 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year's winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today's increasingly complex threat landscape.

"Bricklayer did not build a better AI analyst; it built the autonomous defense the moment demands. Attackers have already gone agentic, and with most AI tools operating in silos, each completing its task without awareness of what the others have learned, investigations remain disconnected and human-centered. The answer is a coordinated AI workforce that operates at agentic speed and scale," said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. "Bricklayer provides this fundamentally different operating model, transforming SOC with a coordinated AI agent workforce. With Bricklayer, humans remain in control, every decision is transparent, and when something needs to change, they can. Built for modern security teams that need speed, control, and trust, Bricklayer is the 'Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year.'"
