Endor Labs Named a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner® Innovation Insight for Agentic Application Security Testing

Endor Labs has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in Gartner's 2026 Innovation Insight for Agentic Application Security Testing, highlighting its development of AURI, an agentic system designed to analyze code with the reasoning of a security engineer rather than relying on pattern matching. The report emphasizes the importance of the agent harness over the underlying language models, aligning with Endor Labs' findings that their AI SAST tool detected 2.6 times more real vulnerabilities compared to frontier models. The agentic AST approach involves stages such as reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, validation, prioritization, and remediation, with a focus on reducing false positives and prioritizing vulnerabilities by reachability. The report also discusses the cost implications of token consumption and the benefits of integrating deterministic capabilities with agentic systems, suggesting that the effectiveness of these systems lies in the quality of the harness rather than the model's size. Endor Labs argues for advanced harness engineering as a superior alternative to simply adding AI SAST to existing tools, projecting broader integration of agentic AST in application security testing by 2028.
