Fast Company has named Pi, an end-to-end agentic product security platform, to its 2026 Next Big Things in Tech list. The selection highlights the platform for its significant potential for industrial impact.
Why it matters
The recognition reflects the increasing reliance on automated security measures to mitigate software vulnerabilities. By reviewing architecture before code is written, the platform aims to fundamentally change security workflows.
Pi integrates with coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It reports 70% less manual triage and 85% fewer repeat bug bounty payouts for its clients.

Timeline
Earlier in 2026: Pi announced $35 million in funding.
October 6, 2026: Fast Company released the 2026 list.
The Tech Race
This development represents the industry-wide shift toward embedding automated security directly into the software creation process. Pi is positioned against traditional security tools by attempting to replace manual review cycles with autonomous, agent-based oversight.
For software developers and security engineers, this platform reduces the volume of manual bug triage and repeat bounty payouts. Users can expect more seamless security integration within existing coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code.
The takeaway
Automated, agent-based security platforms are increasingly becoming standard components of modern software development. Businesses should monitor how these tools integrate with existing workflows to determine if they can effectively reduce human error in the coding phase.
