AI Security Market: Noma Named Gartner Market Shaper for Agent Security
Noma, an enterprise AI and agent security platform, has been recognized as a Market Shaper in the Gartner Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security – Startup Vendors. The company is placed in the quadrant Gartner defines as 'Full-Spectrum, Context-Aware Agentic Security,' which focuses on analyzing AI agents' behaviors, aligning intent with runtime actions, and detecting deviations. Noma's platform provides coverage across endpoint, SaaS, and cloud agents, a unified control plane (AI Constitution), runtime context engine, and flexible enforcement through integrations with gateways and platforms. The recognition follows Noma's previous Cool Vendor designation and inclusion in multiple Gartner research reports. Noma is deployed on over 2.6 million endpoints and serves Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises. Databricks is both a strategic partner and an early investor.
Noma's recognition in a Gartner quadrant is notable but primarily a vendor-specific accolade, with moderate impact on the broader AdTech ecosystem as AI agents become more prevalent in advertising operations.
