Xage Security has been named a winner in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards, receiving recognition in the cybersecurity category for Xage Security Zero Trust for AI. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the awards honor organizations using artificial intelligence to solve real-world problems and deliver measurable impact. This year’s winners span 36 industries and more than 15 countries, reflecting how AI has moved beyond experimentation and into core enterprise infrastructure.
Xage Security was recognized for its work applying Zero Trust principles to AI systems. As organizations deploy AI across cloud, edge, and operational environments, traditional security models struggle to keep up with the scale and autonomy of these systems. Zero Trust for AI focuses on verifying every interaction between users, devices, services, and AI workloads, ensuring that AI systems operate within clear identity and access controls.
The 2026 awards also highlighted broader trends shaping the AI landscape. According to the Business Intelligence Group, agentic AI—systems that can take action and execute tasks with minimal human intervention—emerged as the most recognized category this year. At the same time, cybersecurity and fraud prevention categories received significant attention, underscoring the growing importance of trust and accountability in enterprise AI deployments.
The Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards, established in 2013, recognize organizations, products, teams, and individuals advancing AI across 46 application areas and 36 industries. Winners are selected by a panel of experienced business executives based on innovation, real-world impact, and measurable results.
Upcoming Webinar: Securing AI Agents and Copilots
As organizations deploy AI agents and copilots across business and operational systems, identity and access governance are becoming critical to maintaining trust and control.
Xage Security will be joining the Business Intelligence Group for an upcoming webinar, “Securing AI Agents and Copilots: The New Identity Layer (and How to Govern It)” on April 7. The session will explore how organizations can manage identity, enforce policy, and secure autonomous AI systems as they move into production environments.
