Onyx Security
Onyx Security is the vendor producing the Onyx Platform — marketed as a unified AI control plane spanning observability, security, governance, orchestration, and ROI tracking for enterprise AI deployments. The flagship “Onyx Guardian Agent” places the company in the Guardian Agent vendor category as defined by Gartner (Feb 2026 Market Guide). Onyx adopting the analyst-defined “Guardian Agent” label rather than coining its own is a signal that the company’s category positioning is still being settled — the architecturally precise label for the product is closer to runtime protection + AI-SPM + AI gateway, with a Gartner-flavored marketing wrapper. See Onyx Platform §Critical assessment for the nomenclature note.
