Gartner® Emerging Tech Impact Radar: AI Cybersecurity Ecosystem

See how AI is transforming security, from the systems we protect to the way we test them.

AI is transforming how security risks are created and managed. And it’s not just organizations using AI; attackers do too. They’re getting faster, more creative, and increasingly automated. Security teams have to evolve just as quickly.

In our opinion, the Gartner® Emerging Tech Impact Radar: AI Cybersecurity Ecosystem report explores where those shifts are happening and what they mean for your business. We feel the report discusses the technologies redefining how we safeguard AI systems and apply AI to security itself, from governance and runtime defense to agentic AI and continuous validation.

What You'll Learn:

The emerging technologies shaping the AI cybersecurity ecosystem, including AI governance, usage control, runtime defense, and agentic AI.
Adoption timelines and market impact across four strategic themes: securing AI engineering, securing AI runtime, applied AI in security, and agentic AI.
Recommended actions to help organizations reduce AI risk, strengthen governance, and prepare for the next wave of autonomous security systems.

HackerOne's Perspective

As organizations build and deploy AI systems, those models, pipelines, and guardrails need to be tested just like any other critical technology; continuously and adversarially. HackerOne helps enterprises secure their AI by blending automation with human creativity, using real-world adversarial testing to expose vulnerabilities before they reach customers.

At the same time, we’re applying AI to strengthen how security itself is done. HackerOne AI (Hai) is a coordinated system of intelligent agents that transforms findings and complex data into clear, actionable guidance. It adapts to each organization’s workflows and enhances collaboration between security teams and our global community of researchers, accelerating validation, improving consistency, and reducing risk.

Together, these advancements lay the foundation for continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), where intelligent automation and expert insight converge to move organizations seamlessly from discovery to remediation.
