PALO ALTO, CA. , CA, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — and ORLANDO, FL (CYBERDEFENSEWIRE) – Prophet Security, the pioneer in agentic AI for security operations, today announced it has been named the winner of the Top InfoSec Innovator Awards for Next Gen AI SOC by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.
“We’re thrilled to be a member of this coveted group of winners in the 14th year of Cyber Defense Awards, during CyberDefenseCon 2026. We’re honored to be recognized among the leaders tackling some of the biggest challenges in security today, and we thank the judges, leading infosec experts from around the globe, for their efforts,” said Kamal Shah, CEO and co-founder of Prophet Security.
“Attackers are using AI to move faster than ever, and defenders need partners who can innovate just as quickly. In the past year alone, we’ve grown Prophet into a full agentic AI SOC platform that investigates every alert with the depth of a senior analyst, hunts for threats that never trigger an alert, and continuously improves detections. Our customers see the results every day: their teams stay ahead of AI-enabled adversaries,” Shah added.
“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Prophet Security is worthy of being named a winner in these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
