Overview
AI-native cybersecurity describes a shift in security platforms from AI-assisted "co-pilot" tools toward agentic systems capable of autonomously executing security workflows — correlating telemetry across endpoint, cloud and identity layers in real time and responding to threats with limited human involvement. Omdia's 2026 Cybersecurity Platform Ecosystems Leadership Matrix named six vendors as Champions for aligning around AI-powered services and recurring managed-detection revenue: Check Point, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, Trend Micro, and Zscaler.
Strategic Connections
- CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike's agentic AI framework autonomously correlates telemetry across endpoint, cloud and identity layers to construct real-time attack narratives.
- Palo Alto Networks: Palo Alto Networks has moved its Cortex XSIAM platform from co-pilot-style AI toward agentic systems that execute security workflows autonomously.
- Zscaler: Zscaler expanded its Zero Trust Exchange platform to secure AI applications, agent-to-agent communication, and agentic workflows.
- Check Point: Check Point aligns its platform around AI-powered security services and recurring managed-detection revenue.
- Fortinet: Fortinet is building AI-driven detection into its network security platform and joined OpenAI's Daybreak cyber initiative.

Strategic Risks
- AI simultaneously lowers the cost and expertise required to find and exploit vulnerabilities, creating an arms-race dynamic that keeps raising the bar for AI-native defense
- Consolidation among Champion vendors (e.g. Palo Alto Networks' CyberArk acquisition) could concentrate agentic security capability among a small number of platforms
Future Outlook
- Enterprise security budgets expected to continue shifting toward AI-native platforms over the next 12-24 months as autonomous threats and autonomous defense both scale
- Identity security for AI agents (not just human users) expected to become a standard, load-bearing component of these platforms
