Agent Security Buyer’s Guide: Evaluate Platforms for Agentic Development and Agentic Applications

This buyer’s guide helps security and development leaders cut through vendor noise to evaluate platforms that secure the two fronts where agentic risk is most immediate: the agents your teams are building with, and the agents already running in production. You’ll get evaluation criteria, buyer red flags, and vendor questions to use in demos, plus a structured approach to running your evaluation across security, AppSec, AI platform, and governance teams.

Key takeaways:

• How to map AI security vendors across the three disciplines: code, runtime, and data

• What to evaluate for agentic development security and agentic application security

• How to distinguish enforcement platforms from monitoring tools
