We’ve been saying it for a while: 2025 is the year AI agents go from hype to impact. Now, the momentum is showing up on the map—literally.

7AI was recently featured in CB Insights’ 2025 AI Agent Market Map, a comprehensive look at the companies shaping the agentic future. And just this week, we were named a Spark100 Honoree by DuploCloud, recognized as one of the most innovative early-stage startups across cloud and AI.

These two milestones may seem like separate moments—but together, they signal a powerful shift: AI agents are officially mainstream. And more importantly, they’re moving from sci-fi promise to enterprise reality.

AI Agents Aren’t Just an Idea—They’re a New Operating Model

The CB Insights market map is a testament to how fast the agentic ecosystem is growing. From customer service to data analytics to DevOps, autonomous agents are already transforming how businesses operate. And when it comes to cybersecurity, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Traditional security models are still largely built around static tools and reactive workflows. But threat actors evolve—and security teams are drowning in alerts, stretched too thin to respond in real-time. That’s where agentic security steps in.

Why Agentic Security Matters Now

At 7AI, we believe that AI agents don’t just make cybersecurity faster—they make it fundamentally smarter. Our swarming agent architecture distributes tasks across specialized agents that can investigate alerts, enrich threat intelligence, and can eventually take action autonomously.

Think of them as a SOC layer that never sleeps—agents that coordinate, collaborate, and continuously adapt. This is what it means to be AI-native in cybersecurity: not just layering AI onto existing tools, but rebuilding the entire defense stack around autonomous action, taking on essential non-human work.

Recognition Is Just the Beginning

Being included in the CB Insights map and named a Spark100 Honoree isn’t just a nice pat on the back. It’s validation that the market is catching up to what we’ve been building: a fundamentally new approach to cybersecurity, designed for scale, speed, and better security outcomes. Software that actually does work rather than just creating it. 

We’re proud to be recognized alongside other pioneers, but we’re even more excited for what comes next. Because while agentic AI might be on the map today, its real-world impact is just beginning to take shape.
