At Repello AI, our mission has always been clear: to build the security infrastructure that allows enterprises to adopt AI with absolute confidence. Today, we are proud to announce a significant milestone in that journey.

Repello AI has been featured in Gartner’s latest research report, “Emerging Tech: Top-Funded Startups in AI TRiSM: Agentic AI and Beyond”.

As the golden standard in market research, Gartner’s recognition is a tremendous sign of confidence in our category and validates the robust, future-proof products we are building. It signals that the market is moving exactly where we have positioned ourselves: away from simple testing tools and toward comprehensive, proactive AI security platforms.

The Shift to an AI Security Platform

What makes this feature particularly significant is how Gartner describes the evolving landscape. The report highlights that the scope of AI security is broadening rapidly. It is no longer enough to simply "test" a model.

Gartner notes that a select few startups are expanding capabilities to address broader platform needs, such as "AI guardrails, protection approaches and the securing of AI agents".

This aligns perfectly with Repello’s evolution. We are not just a testing startup; we are an AI Security Platform. Using a unified 3-Phase Framework, we close the loop between development and production, transforming pre-deployment vulnerabilities into real-time defense logic. This platform is powered by four core products designed to secure the entire AI lifecycle:.

  • Agentic Red Teaming: Automated adversarial red-teaming designed for AI agents. We simulate complex, multi-turn attacks to expose security gaps including unauthorized tool use and excessive agency which are unique to Agentic AI systems.

  • Runtime Guardrails: Low-latency detection and blocking of jailbreaks and prompt injections in real-time. We deploy self-hardening guardrails that map directly to your application's business logic, preventing misuse without degrading user experience.

  • AI Asset Inventory: Continuous discovery of all AI models, agents, and datasets to eliminate shadow AI blind spots. We map your dynamic AI attack surface in real-time, bringing every authorized and unauthorized asset under central governance.

  • MCP Gateway: A centralized governance layer that integrates with your existing SIEM/EDR stack to audit and control agent tool usage. It acts as a firewall for MCP, ensuring agents only connect to authorized tools and data sources.

Leading the Charge in Multimodality and Agents

The report specifically calls out two critical areas where Repello stands apart: Agentic AI and Multimodality.

As AI implementation matures, enterprises are deploying autonomous agents that interact with complex systems. Gartner notes that we are among the few positioning to address "AI agent security use cases and MCP support," validating expected behaviors in these advanced systems.

Furthermore, while many solutions remain limited to text, Gartner emphasizes that "multimodality can be important for specific industries" and identifies Repello AI as one of the few players addressing use cases across images, video, and audio. This capability is essential for modern enterprises deploying complex, media-rich AI models.

Built on a Foundation of Offensive Security

Security is only as good as the team building it. Gartner’s report underscores that a "strong offensive security background of the founding team will benefit the AI red-teaming approaches".

This DNA is central to Repello. We believe that to defend against the next generation of threats, you must understand how attackers think.

Aryaman Behera, Co-Founder & CEO, and Naman Mishra, Co-Founder & CTO, view this moment as a critical turning point for the industry:

"We're at an inflection point where AI adoption is accelerating faster than security solutions can keep pace. Enterprises are deploying generative AI across every function, but they're doing it with yesterday's security playbook.

As GenAI transforms industries, its security architecture cannot be an afterthought. Our goal is to stay ahead of emerging threats by reimagining AI security from the ground up. The best defense is a strong offense, and we're ensuring our customers can proactively identify and neutralize emerging AI security threats before they become enterprise risks."

Looking Ahead

Being featured by Gartner is not just an accolade; it is a validation of our roadmap. From Agentic Red Teaming to multimodal defense, we are building the platform that enterprises need to innovate safely.

Thank you to our team, partners, and customers for trusting us to secure the future of AI.
