Camelot Secure, a firm specializing in AI-enhanced cybersecurity operations, has been acknowledged with a 2026 CIO 100 Award. This accolade recognises the company's effective implementation of agentic AI and orchestration within its Secure360 platform to automate threat hunting, streamline infrastructure workflows, and enhance incident response.
The CIO 100 Awards, celebrating their 40th anniversary, highlight organisations that utilise technology to achieve significant business results, such as boosting operational efficiency, fostering innovation, and elevating security performance.
Orchestrating security workflows
Richard Smith, Head of Event Content for the CIO 100 Awards & Conference, noted, "The CIOs we're recognising this year aren't just keeping the lights on, they're driving the business. 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."
The platform incorporates a proof-of-concept integration based on agentic AI architecture
Camelot Secure’s Secure360 platform aims to tackle significant cybersecurity issues by automating threat detection, decreasing SOC workloads, enhancing incident response times, and integrating security workflows between tools and teams.
Agentic AI architecture
The platform incorporates a proof-of-concept integration based on agentic AI architecture, shifting security teams from reactive responses to automated, intelligence-based cybersecurity workflows. Within Secure360, AI Agents manage intricate, multistep security processes via two fundamental components:
- Orchestration Agent: Processes natural language queries and directs them to corresponding security workflows.
- Agentic AI Workflows: Executing multistep AI tasks that automate threat hunting, data collection, and infrastructure management.
Improving incident response
This innovative architecture empowers organisations to automate routine security activities, diminish analysis durations, accelerate detection and response times, and improve overall SOC efficiency. Stan Oliver, CEO of Camelot Secure, remarked, “This recognition reflects a major shift in cybersecurity—organisations are actively looking for ways to automate threat hunting, reduce SOC workload, and improve incident response with AI. 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 winners of the 2026 CIO 100 Award will be celebrated at the upcoming CIO 100 Awards & Conference from August 17–19, 2026, hosted at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa in Frisco, Texas.
