ARLINGTON, Va. On October 8, 2026, / PRNewswire / -- Bricklayer AI indicates that, as an operational platform for AI secure labor force, the company has won the " Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year " award at the 10th CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards awards ceremony. CyberSecurity Breakthrough is an independent market intelligence agency, and the project for that year aimed to recognize the most innovative companies, products, and technologies that have contributed to the advancement of the global information security industry.
Bricklayer indicates that its platform provides a governed and collaborative AI proxy workforce for security teams, which can work on top of an enterprise's existing tools and data. These proxies can leverage the intelligence and experience accumulated by the organization and receive relevant context while performing tasks; at the same time, analysts can still view and control what the system is doing and why. The platform provides context, coordination, and control throughout the entire security operations process, covering aspects such as alarm triage, incident investigation, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and threat hunting. The various functions are interconnected rather than isolated from each other, allowing customers to start with SOC and expand into a broader range of security areas.
According to Bricklayer, the platform can integrate an organization's intelligence and experience into the security workflow, so there is no need to start each investigation from scratch. Relevant tool data, threat intelligence, past experience, and organizational knowledge can be incorporated into the work as needed and in a timely manner. Successful methods can also be documented as reusable processes, allowing an organization's intelligence and experience to continue to accumulate over time.
Bricklayer indicates that the platform will build a dedicated team of agents for different roles required for secure operations. These agents work together in a manner similar to an experienced security team. Each agent contributes their own expertise and builds upon the relevant work and intelligence already established by the team. Through MCP and API, Bricklayer can operate within the customer's existing security technology stack. Agents can be routed, investigated, and executed within the security technology stack according to approved procedures, while maintaining complete transparency and audibility at every step. The security team can also assign appropriate models to each agent, whether focusing on reasoning, speed, cost, or compliance.
According to Bricklayer, its platform provides the necessary governance capabilities for enterprises to integrate AI labor into their production environments. Every proxy action is visible, auditable, and subject to governance. Role-based access control, organizational segmentation, and comprehensive audit trails enable enterprises and MSSP to operate AI with confidence in a production environment, rather than remaining at just the experimental stage. Proxies generate findings that include a recorded reasoning process, while dashboards track results, performance, and progress relative to goals.
Bricklayer AI Founder and CEO Adam Vincent stated: "With the help of Bricklayer, organizations can transition from dispersed tools, AI agents, and workflows to a unified AI secure workforce operation platform. Our clients have saved the equivalent of 332 analyst years of work, reduced investigation times by 60% to 90%, and shortened threat intelligence research times by over 85%. We are a team of veterans in the security industry, tired of watching excellent analysts get overwhelmed by alerts. That's why we want to provide them with a governed, collaborative AI workforce that allows people to focus on the most important tasks. We are honored to have been awarded the title of ' Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year' by CyberSecurity Breakthrough."
CyberSecurity Breakthrough marks its 10th anniversary this year. Over the past decade, this award program has been dedicated to recognizing outstanding achievements and focusing on promoting groundbreaking innovations that drive forward the global cybersecurity industry. Over these ten years, the program has expanded to cover multiple categories, including cloud security, threat intelligence, risk management, fraud prevention, mobile security, application security, identity management, and more, continuously highlighting solutions and organizations that are redefining the ways of protecting the digital world.
In this milestone 10th year, the 2026 award program received thousands of nominations from organizations in over 20 countries and regions around the world, covering breakthrough technologies ranging from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year's winners represent the forefront of cybersecurity technology, providing next-generation protection and resilience in today's increasingly complex threat environment.
CyberSecurity Breakthrough General Manager Steve Johansson stated: " Bricklayer has not created a better AI analyst; what it has created is the autonomous defense needed at present. Attackers have evolved towards agentic, while most AI tools are still operating in their own silos, each completing their tasks without understanding what other tools have learned. As a result, investigations remain fragmented and centered around individuals. The solution is a collaborative AI workforce that operates at the speed and scale of agentic."
According to Johansson, Bricklayer offers a fundamentally different business model that reshapes SOC through collaborative AI proxy labor. "With the help of Bricklayer, humans still have control over everything; every decision is transparent, and when changes are needed, they can be made. Bricklayer is specifically designed for modern security teams that require speed, control, and trust, which is why it has been rated as a ' Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year'."
