DeepKeep Named Best Artificial Intelligence Security Platform at The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards 2026

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 12, 2026 — DeepKeep, the AI Security Platform securing enterprise AI adoption, has been named Best Artificial Intelligence Security Platform at the 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards, presented by The Hacker News. The annual awards recognize companies that have demonstrated excellence in the field of cybersecurity, evaluated across a global field of entrants.

The recognition reflects the breadth of what DeepKeep has built: a platform that covers the full AI security lifecycle, from pre-deployment testing through continuous runtime protection, across AI applications, autonomous agents, and employee AI usage, in a single integrated system. Vulnerabilities identified during red teaming feed directly into guardrails enforced by the AI Firewall at runtime, closing the loop between simulation and production enforcement. That connected architecture is what separates a unified platform from a collection of point solutions.

"The most dangerous assumption in AI security is that guardrails built into a model will hold under adversarial conditions. They won't. What holds is a purpose-built security layer that tests for weaknesses before the model ships and enforces controls while it runs," said Yossi Altevet, CTO of DeepKeep. "That is the architecture we built, and it is what this recognition reflects."

Platform Capabilities

DeepKeep's platform spans the full AI security lifecycle. The AI Firewall evaluates every prompt and response in real time, applying more than 60 contextual guardrails across prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, PII leakage, and hallucination risks. Vibe AI Red Teaming lets security teams steer adversarial testing in plain language while Reddy, DeepKeep's AI red teaming agent, executes and adapts in real time — so weaknesses found in testing feed directly into production controls. The AI Agent Scanner maps autonomous agent pipelines end to end, including the low- and no-code platforms that typically fall outside security team visibility. Model Scanning and AI Lens round out the platform with pre-deployment model assessment and governance over employee AI usage.

DeepKeep is deployed across enterprise environments in North America, Europe, and APAC.
