Dropzone AI, the leading provider of AI SOC analysts, was named to the 2026 Fortune Cyber 60, presented by Lightspeed. This list honors the fastest-growing, most innovative venture-backed startups in cybersecurity based on a survey of more than 200 CISOs at companies with $500 million or more in revenue. Dropzone AI is featured among 59 other leading companies that are breaking barriers in the industry, going above and beyond to protect enterprises.
The cybersecurity dynamic of defense has remained unchanged for decades, and security teams continue to be overwhelmed by increasing alert volumes and a shortage of skilled analysts. This situation has only been exacerbated by the advent of AI giving a disproportionate advantage to attackers. Dropzone AI is addressing this challenge head-on, helping tip the scales back in favor of defenders.

Going beyond current market tools that augment human analysts with co-pilots, Dropozone AI developed the industry’s leading AI SOC analyst that investigates and triages alerts autonomously. Seamlessly integrating with existing security stacks, it automates investigations end-to-end, replicating the techniques of elite analysts. By delivering rapid and highly accurate alert investigation results, Dropzone AI helps organizations scale operations, reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate response times.

“Being recognized as part of the Cyber 60 list serves as a testament to our mission as we redefine security operations from manual and repetitive to AI agents handling most of the operational toil,” said Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI. “The reality is, human capacity alone can’t keep up with today’s threats. Our AI agents bring the speed, scale, and human-like intelligence required to close that capacity gap. We’re providing security teams with the AI augmentation they need to stay ahead of attackers and focus on more critical projects that truly require human expertise and context.”
Over 500 cybersecurity startups were surveyed for consideration based on market insights provided by Pitchbook. Evaluation criteria included data regarding revenue and current and prior year growth rates, and companies were sorted according to their reported ARR, followed by growth rate, and prior year growth rate as tiebreakers.
