PRO Decision Signal
For Vendors
Embed security capabilities into AI development frameworks (e.g., Google ADK) and runtime layers, while establishing architectural standards through new categories like AI-NICs and AI-native PCs.
For Enterprises
Prioritize AI platforms with unified control planes (e.g., Agent 365) and deep Red Hat integration, moving governance upstream to the design phase (following Google's Application Design Center model).
For Investors
Focus on AI infrastructure bottleneck areas (e.g., Arm server CPUs, DPU security offload chips) and vendors enabling edge-cloud collaborative agent architectures.
