Brinker Highlighted by Gartner as a Startup to Watch in Disinformation Security

Disinformation is rapidly emerging as a core enterprise security challenge. The rise of generative AI, synthetic identities, and coordinated influence campaigns is forcing organizations to rethink how they protect social unity, trust, and reputation in the digital environment.

In its report “Emerging Tech: Startups to Watch in Disinformation Security,” published February 19, 2026, Gartner highlighted Brinker as one of the innovative startups shaping this emerging technology space. The report maps companies developing new approaches to address the growing risks created by disinformation, synthetic media, and narrative manipulation.

This recognition builds on previous Gartner research that has also referenced Brinker’s work in the field. Brinker appeared in the “Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Disinformation Security” (September 8, 2025) and in “CIOs Must Build an Immune System Against Disinformation Now” (November 17, 2025), both of which explore how organizations must adapt their security strategies to address the growing threat of information manipulation.

While access to the full research is limited to Gartner clients, the report highlights a group of emerging companies developing technologies to help enterprises and governments defend against disinformation driven risks. Brinker is acknowledged on this landscape map as one of the innovative startups contributing to the development of this new security category.

Much of the industry conversation today focuses on narrative intelligence, an area where Brinker has developed strong capabilities alongside several unique platform features. At the same time, Brinker is already advancing the next wave of innovation through Innovation Agentic OSINT, a framework that expands beyond AI produced knowledge into AI driven autonomous intelligence action. This capability is already deployed with clients and reflects Brinker’s broader vision to build the most advanced OSINT platform in the world.

As the disinformation security market continues to evolve, organizations will need technologies that combine narrative understanding, open source intelligence, and proactive defense capabilities. Brinker was built to meet this challenge and help institutions protect trust in an increasingly complex information landscape.
