Award recognizes AttackIQ’s agentic operating system for autonomously executing Continuous Threat Exposure Management at enterprise scale
SANTA CLARA, Calif., September 23, 2026 – AttackIQ, the leader in threat-informed Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), today announced that its AVA Agentic OS has been recognized as an AI-Powered Enterprise Agent Solution of the Year by the 2026 Tech Ascension Awards. The award recognizes enterprise AI solutions demonstrating innovation, differentiation, and measurable business impact.
AVA Agentic OS is purpose-built to operationalize Continuous Threat Exposure Management. Rather than automating isolated security tasks, AVA orchestrates specialized AI agents that execute complete cybersecurity missions across threat analysis, adversarial exposure validation, detection engineering and defense optimization. By connecting threat intelligence with evidence of control effectiveness, AVA enables organizations to identify exploitable attack paths, prioritize the exposures that matter most, and continuously reduce Threat Debt over time.
“Security teams are not short on data. They are short on a way to turn that data into decisions and prove their defenses work,” said Carl Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at AttackIQ. “AVA coordinates specialized AI agents to execute the work behind CTEM, from identifying the threats and exposures that matter to validating controls and confirming that fixes are effective. This recognition reinforces our belief that agentic AI should be judged by the security outcomes it produces, not simply the number of tasks it automates.”
The 2026 Tech Ascension Awards attracted a record number of submissions across enterprise AI, agentic automation and small-business technology categories.
“The pace of AI innovation is extraordinary, but AttackIQ distinguished itself by turning technical innovation into practical value,” said David Campbell, CEO of the Tech Ascension Awards. “AttackIQ AVA Agentic OS addresses meaningful industry challenges with a differentiated approach and demonstrated business impact. It represents the kind of purposeful innovation that is shaping the future of artificial intelligence.”
