The author uses the lens of a 20-year-old principle — 'today's product is tomorrow's feature' — originally applied to network access control, to question whether agentic AI security will remain a standalone category or be absorbed into larger platforms like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, or Microsoft. With $3.6B raised across agentic security startups and major platform vendors aggressively acquiring in the space, the author argues most startups will become features, but a rare few may matter enough that acquisition comes at a steep price. Practical advice for security buyers: focus on the immediate problem, favor portable architectures, and keep contracts short. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
