San Diego, CA – October 30, 2025 – Augur Security, a leader in preemptive cybersecurity, today announced that it has been recognized by Gartner as Sample Vendor in the Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Preemptive Cybersecurity report.
“With the increasing use of generative AI by threat actors, hyperautomated cyber-attack prevention solutions are vital for neutralizing threats before they cause harm,” according to the Gartner report. “Product leaders must integrate preemptive cybersecurity technologies into their offerings now to maintain a competitive edge.”
“We are proud that Gartner has recognized Augur Security in this report covering Preemptive Cybersecurity,” said Joe Lea, CEO of Augur. “Traditional detection-and-response cybersecurity methods only respond after compromise. They can’t keep up with today’s surging threats. Preemptive cybersecurity is the next-generation approach to identify, anticipate, and stop cyberattacks before they occur. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are core to delivering that predictive threat intelligence.”
“Preemptive cybersecurity will soon be the new gold standard for every entity operating on, in, or through the various interconnected layers of the global attack surface grid (GASG),” said Carl Manion, Managing Vice President at Gartner. “[Detection and response] DR-based cybersecurity will no longer be enough to keep assets safe from AI-enabled attackers. Organizations will need to deploy additional countermeasures that act preemptively and independently of humans to neutralize potential attackers before they strike."
In September, independent threat intelligence confirmed over 38,000 IPs that Augur had already identified as malicious—reinforcing the accuracy and foresight of Augur’s threat detection capabilities. Augur consistently detects emerging threats long before traditional intelligence. In the last few months, we identified IPs and domains that were later used in major campaigns that hit the headlines. These include the recent Salesforce/Salesloft, Sharepoint, and Taiwanese Semiconductor attacks.
