Brandefense has been named a winner at Cyber Defense Magazine’s Top InfoSec Innovator Awards 2026. The award names Brandefense Most Innovative in the AI-Powered Cybersecurity Solutions category. Cyber Defense Awards published the full winners list in October 2026.
We are proud of this one, because it is about the part of our work that changed the most this year. It is the AI that runs through the Brandefense platform.
About the Top InfoSec Innovator Awards
The Top InfoSec Innovator Awards are run by Cyber Defense Magazine and are now in their 14th year. They look at cybersecurity companies of every size, from startups to large vendors. The program says entries are judged on their unique value, not on financial numbers.
The 2026 list names 147 companies, which received 225 awards, and 9 individual winners. Winners were celebrated at CyberDefenseCon 2026, a closed-door event at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando.
What the Award Recognizes
Brandefense is an AI-driven threat intelligence platform. It brings Cyber Threat Intelligence, Digital Risk Protection and External Attack Surface Management together in one place. The award category, AI-Powered Cybersecurity Solutions, points to how AI is used across that platform.
On the Brandefense AI page you can see the ways in. Each one reads the same data and follows the same user permissions:
- Odin, the Brandefense agentic analyst, plans an investigation, shows each step and writes the report.
- Ask AI inside the platform gives a quick answer on any screen, linked to the records behind it.
- The Brandefense MCP Server brings Brandefense tools into your own AI agents and code editors.
- The Brandefense apps for ChatGPT and Claude let teams ask about incidents, exposure and threat intelligence without leaving those tools.
Behind these, agents enrich, correlate and sort findings before a person sees them. Our rule is simple. AI does the work and analysts verify critical findings.
Part of a Longer Track Record
This is not our first time on this list. At the Top InfoSec Innovator Awards 2025, Cyber Defense Magazine named Brandefense Most Innovative in Digital Risk Protection, Third Party Cyber Risk Management and Threat Intelligence.
The 2026 award adds a new angle. The earlier wins were about what we protect. This one is about how the platform does the work. You can see every award and ranking by year on the Brandefense awards page.
