The tally, one vote per house
15 of 15 research houses agree, +7 houses in 30 days. See which houses, free →
Fifteen houses back the theme that the spread of AI agents, open models and tougher AI safety standards will expand cybersecurity budgets, with researchers arguing that rising AI-driven threats and autonomous systems make security essential and lift leading providers. Seven more houses have joined the view over the past 30 days, and none of the tracked research argues against it. Some caution remains that valuations and software-sector uncertainty could weigh on the names, though this is not a counterargument to the spending thesis.
Each house counts once: its newest view on the theme in the last 60 days. The counts are computed, not written by AI; the summary is AI-written from the houses’ views, without names.
