Security vendors accused of misusing 'AI-native' label

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The term "AI-native" is being misused by many security vendors, according to Karthik Kannan, Founder and CEO of Anvilogic. Kannan argues that true AI-native security solutions were built from the ground up with AI integration in mind, allowing them to deeply reason about a company's specific environment. In contrast, many vendors are retrofitting AI onto legacy systems, leading to a superficial understanding that can generate confident but incorrect recommendations. Kannan proposes a four-question test focusing on context, reach, action, and economics to help buyers distinguish between genuine AI-native capabilities and mere repackaging of existing features. AI
