Gartner Releases First Market Guide for Guardian Agents

On February 25, 2026, Gartner released its first-ever Market Guide for Guardian Agents, defining the emerging market category and outlining its short-term expectations. The report focuses on early-stage, evolving markets without rating or positioning vendors. Guardian Agents were identified as a distinct segment within cybersecurity, though no specific technical details, impacted organizations, or quantitative metrics were provided. The publication serves as a foundational reference for understanding the market’s trajectory rather than a comparative analysis. No CVE IDs, threat impacts, or vendor-specific data were mentioned in the available content.
