AI visibility is the share of answers naming the company. The band is its likely range. Cited is the share of answers citing its site. The board lists the top 25 of 205 companies ranked this week.Download the data

Week over week movement starts with the next published week. Earlier weeks measured fewer AI platforms, so they are not compared with this one.

Named against cited

Named is different from cited.

AI can recommend a company without linking to its site, and can lean on a company's pages without naming it. The shaded corners are where the two come apart.

Frequently asked

Questions about AI agent security platforms.

What is the best AI agent security platforms according to AI?
Microsoft is the company AI names most often, in 40.5% of answers in the week of Oct 19, 2026. Palo Alto Networks is level with it, because the ranges overlap. "Best" here means most often recommended by AI, which is what a buyer asking an AI assistant sees.
What are the alternatives to Microsoft?
AI names Palo Alto Networks, Lakera, Zenity and CrowdStrike most often after Microsoft for AI agent security platforms.
How is this ranking made?
Every day we put the same 12 buyer questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews and record which companies each answer names. Each week the answers naming a company are divided by all the answers that came back. Companies are taken from the answers themselves, never from a list we chose.
How often is it updated?
Every week. Scans run daily, and each Monday the previous Monday to Sunday is published as one score. This board covers Oct 19, 2026 to Oct 25, 2026.
Why does each rate have a range?
A week holds about 173 answers, which is too few to fix a rate to one decimal. The 95% range shows where the true rate likely sits, and two companies whose ranges overlap are level.
