Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), the security technology company building the nation’s first Autonomous Security Force, has published “The Security Agent,” the third field brief in its series, ahead of the Force’s live debut at GSX 2026, scheduled for Sept. 14-16 in Atlanta. The brief challenges the traditional headcount model used by the security guard industry, arguing that it creates fragmented responsibility and offering an alternative built around licensed, vetted and trained Security Agents who act on information verified by machines and Mission Intelligence.
The field brief outlines five forms of the Security Agent role: Unarmed Security Agent, Armed Security Agent, Embedded Security Agent, Augmented Security Agent and Augmented Field Agent. All operate under a three-part code focused on owning outcomes, serving as the human in the loop and answering the call. According to Knightscope, its Security Agents occupy the physical-response layer within ASF-7, the company’s seven-level escalation model.
The announcement matters for an industry that has long struggled with accountability gaps and rising labor costs. By integrating autonomous machines, AI-driven software and licensed human agents into a single managed service, Knightscope aims to deliver one accountable operation under one contract. The company says it serves 434 clients across 42 states, with its machines logging more than 4.4 million autonomous hours to date. Those figures suggest meaningful scale at a time when businesses, campuses and critical infrastructure operators are seeking more reliable and transparent security solutions.
The timing is notable. GSX 2026, a major gathering for security professionals, will host the live debut of the Autonomous Security Force, giving industry stakeholders a firsthand look at how the model works in practice. If the approach gains traction, it could shift how security services are procured and delivered, moving away from headcount-based contracts toward outcome-driven, technology-enabled operations. For investors, the field brief and the upcoming debut signal Knightscope’s continued push to differentiate itself in a competitive market.
Knightscope’s long-term mission is to make the United States of America the safest country in the world. The company positions itself as a managed service provider delivering autonomous machines, AI-driven software and licensed security agents as one accountable operation to help protect people, property and critical infrastructure.
