Camelot Secure Wins 2026 CIO 100 Award for Advancing AI-Driven Cybersecurity Automation and Threat Detection - Cybersecurity Insiders

COMPANY NEWSPress Releases Camelot Secure, a cybersecurity company specializing in AI-driven security operations, today announced it has been recognized as a 2026 CIO 100 Award winner for its application of agentic AI and orchestration technologies to automate threat hunting, infrastructure workflows, and incident response within its Secure360 platform. Now in its 40th year, the CIO 100 Awards honor organizations that leverage technology to deliver measurable business impact, including enhanced operational efficiency, stronger innovation, and improved cybersecurity performance. “The CIOs we’re recognizing this year aren’t just keeping the lights on, they’re driving the business,” said Richard Smith, Head of Event Content, CIO 100 Awards & Conference. “AI, data, security, cloud; it all lands on the same desk now, and the best CIOs have stopped treating them as separate problems. The 2026 class shows what it looks like when you get that right.” Camelot Secure’s Secure360 platform is engineered to help organizations address critical cybersecurity challenges, including automating threat hunting processes, reducing security operations center (SOC) workload, accelerating incident response times, and orchestrating security workflows across disparate tools and teams. The platform’s proof-of-concept implementation is built on an agentic AI architecture that enables security teams to transition from reactive defense models to automated, intelligence-driven cybersecurity operations. Secure360 leverages AI agents to manage complex, multi-step security processes through two core components: Orchestration Agent – Interprets natural language requests and routes them to the appropriate security workflow. Agentic AI Workflows – Multi-step AI agents that automate threat hunting, data collection, and infrastructure automation tasks. This architecture enables organizations to streamline repetitive security operations, reduce analysis time, improve detection and response speed, and significantly enhance SOC efficiency through AI-driven automation. “This recognition reflects a major shift in cybersecurity—organizations are actively looking for ways to automate threat hunting, reduce SOC workload, and improve incident response with AI,” said Stan Oliver, CEO, Camelot Secure. “With Secure360, we’re using agentic AI and orchestration to automate multi-step security workflows, giving teams faster detection, less manual effort, and more accurate threat response.” The 2026 CIO 100 Award winners will be formally honored at the CIO 100 Awards & Conference, taking place August 17–19, 2026, at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa in Frisco, Texas. ___________ About Camelot Secure Camelot Secure is a leading cybersecurity company taking a revolutionary approach to digital defense.
