SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 6, 2026 – Recently, the global research and advisory firm Forrester has released its first report on Agentic Development Security (ADS) tools, “The Agentic Development Security Tools Landscape, Q2 2026[1]”. NSFOCUS has been recognized among representative vendors in the report, marking international acknowledgment of the company’s technical capabilities in AI supply chain security.
The First Report Setting a New Benchmark for AI Development Security
As AI coding agents become deeply embedded in enterprise development pipelines, software development is generating massive volumes of code at machine speed. However, these agents autonomously select third-party dependencies and even hallucinate nonexistent components, injecting security risks into delivery pipelines far faster than human review can assess. Traditional application security platforms and processes can no longer keep pace with risk at this scale.
In this context, Forrester published its first ADS tools landscape report, profiling 35 representative vendors worldwide. The report defines ADS tools as:
For AI-powered software development and delivery, these tools prevent, detect, prioritize, and remediate security flaws while providing continuous intelligence on the security of code, development workflows, and resulting applications.
The report offers buyers a multidimensional vendor selection reference based on company size, geographic presence, deployment options, and industry focus.
Full-Stack Product Portfolio Covering Core AI Supply Chain Security Use Cases
NSFOCUS believes its inclusion in the report reflects its systematic product capabilities across core ADS use cases. At the heart of its offering is SecLLM NSFGPT AI security capability platform, which integrates knowledge graphs, threat intelligence, and a wide range of security tools to empower its supply chain security product portfolio.
In the field of security for AI, NSFOCUS has taken an early lead in building a complete defense framework spanning assessment, protection, and response. The company’s NSFAIS has earned LLM security industry-level recognition from national ministry, as well as the AI Pioneer Case award from the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance.
For supply chain security scenarios, NSFOCUS has extended traditional software supply chain security methodologies into the agentic domain. Its AI-SCAN product now provides security assessment capabilities for models, agents, skills, and MCP services.
Cutting-Edge Capabilities Addressing the Trust Deficit in the Age of AI Development
NSFOCUS has cutting-edge capabilities addressing the trust deficit in the age of ai development, including:
- Knowledge graph-driven, end-to-end risk correlation analysis: NSFOCUS unifies multi-dimensional data including code, dependencies, components, and vulnerabilities to deliver global visibility and millisecond-level traceability across the supply chain. This enables customers to rapidly pinpoint risk sources within the complex web of AI dependencies, compressing average investigation time from days to minutes.
- A security credit score-driven economic model: NSFOCUS, for the first time, converts an abstract security posture into a quantifiable credit rating, transforming security investment from a cost center into a clear basis for financial decision-making. This empowers industries with stringent requirements, such as financial services and government, to precisely manage their security debt.
- Systematic risk governance for AI-assisted programming: NSFOCUS addresses the systemic risks introduced by AI coding agents, including code quality degradation, dependency poisoning, and compliance violations, via a full-lifecycle governance solution spanning development through production.
Beyond product capabilities, NSFOCUS demonstrated forward-looking insights in its commentary on market trends, customer challenges, and market disruptor dynamics, further underscoring the company’s technical depth and strategic vision in AI supply chain security.
An NSFOCUS security expert commented: “The core tension in AI development security has shifted from traditional vulnerability detection to a crisis of trust, namely trust in agent behavior and the supply chains they introduce. Our goal goes beyond providing detection tools; we are building an immune system for the enterprise in the age of AI development.”
For NSFOCUS, inclusion in this Forrester report is a compelling testament to the company’s AI supply chain security capabilities. With a full-stack presence across core use cases, including AI-generated code security, AI application dependency protection, autonomous remediation, and DevSecOps integration — the company has demonstrated strong performance in the emerging domain of agentic development security.
Looking ahead, NSFOCUS will continue to execute its “Smart Security 3.0” strategy, with NSFGPT AI Security Capability Platform as the core engine, driving successful deployments across telecommunications, financial services, energy, government, and other sectors, building a deeper foundation of technical trust for international market expansion. At the same time, the company will deepen its technology innovation and product portfolio in agentic development security, AI supply chain security, and adjacent fields, creating a trusted development ecosystem for global customers in the AI era.
