A Manifesto for Real Agentic Security
Turn demos into evidence. Score what you see. Choose with confidence.
A practical, demo-first framework for evaluating “agentic” security products so your team can spend less time guessing and more time closing real risk.
The language changed overnight. Your evaluation process doesn’t have to. This guide gives you a shared rubric the whole team can use—so every vendor conversation ends with artifacts, scores, and a next step.
What you’ll get inside (20-minute read)
- The four traits of real agency — context-aware, autonomous, explainable, actionable
- A 0–1–2 scoring system — simple rubrics you can use live in any demo
- Demo prompts & flow — the questions that reveal depth quickly
- Scenario tests — thread continuity, runtime confirmation, bounded action
- Evidence checklist — timeline export, reasoning trace, action receipt, post-action verification
- One-page decision note — a repeatable way to capture scores and decide
Who this is for
Security leaders and practitioners who want a clear, testable standard for agentic claims:
- CISOs & Directors of Security
