New cybersecurity tools, October 2026: 13 added across 3 categories

1 November 2026by Cyber Vendor Guide editorial teamNew tools

The directory added 13 listings in October 2026, down from 45 in September 2026. At month end it held 276 entries. The additions fell into three categories: Brand Protection, AI Agent Security and Cyber Resilience Act Compliance, and none were left uncategorised.

It was a thin month, and lopsided. Brand Protection supplied 9 of the 13. Penumbral Labs is the only Cyber Resilience Act Compliance listing, and ranwhat is the only open source entry.

What they have in common

Brand and impersonation defence runs through the batch. Threat intelligence appears as a tag on 9 of the 13 listings, managed security services on 6 and breach or dark web monitoring on 5. Several entries sell the enforcement as much as the detection: Netcraft, BrandShield, Red Points, Allure Security, Fortra Brand Protection and Doppel all describe takedowns or managed casework, while Memcyco and Check Point Exposure Management (formerly Cyberint) push the same problem towards live warning and exposure management.

Pricing is mostly hidden. 10 listings publish nothing, and the 3 that do are each different: ranwhat is open source, ZeroFox publishes pricing and Clavitor offers a free tier plus paid plans. 11 are cloud hosted and 1 offers a self hosted option. Founding years are known for 6, and 3 of those are recent, with Penumbral Labs and ranwhat at 2024 or later and Trent AI in 2025, against Allure Security in 2009 as the oldest recorded.

How this is counted

Listings are counted by the date they were added to the directory, which is not a launch date: some were founded years earlier and some were listed within weeks of appearing. Every listing cites its sources on its own page, and free listings are placed in the one category guide that genuinely fits, so the category counts reflect editorial placement rather than vendor self-description. Pricing is read from each listing's published pricing: a listing counts as published if a figure or a free tier is visible without contacting sales. Capability tags are assigned from a fixed vocabulary of 60 terms and checked by an editor; the figures above come from the directory database and none are estimated.
