Reach Security Wins Top CTEM Honor at Global InfoSec Awards, Underscoring AI-Native Exposure Management Leadership

New updates have been reported about Reach Security.

Reach Security has been recognized as a leading player in exposure management, winning the Pioneering Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) award from Cyber Defense Magazine at the 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards during RSAC 2026 in San Francisco. The company also secured two additional Cyber Defense Magazine honors, signaling growing market validation of its AI-native Security Controls Operating System and its differentiation in a crowded cybersecurity landscape.

CEO and founder Garrett Hamilton said the recognition reflects tough global competition and review by independent infosec experts, reinforcing Reach Security’s positioning with enterprise buyers and partners. The platform integrates with existing security controls to uncover blind spots, prioritize and automate remediation of misconfigurations and configuration drift, and activate underused defensive capabilities while continuously validating security posture as environments and threats evolve.

Judges highlighted three attributes that drove Reach Security’s selection: the ability to anticipate emerging threats, cost-effective delivery, and innovation that helps organizations stay ahead of breaches. This external validation supports Reach Security’s go-to-market messaging around AI-native exposure management and could accelerate sales cycles, particularly with CISOs seeking to rationalize tooling and maximize returns on prior security investments.

By bridging the gap between identifying exposures and executing remediation at scale, Reach Security aims to shift customers from reactive risk reporting to operationalized risk reduction, a priority as boards and regulators increase scrutiny on cyber resilience. The company emphasizes that customers can achieve value quickly by integrating Reach’s platform with existing tools, improving clarity, automation, and operational efficiency in minutes rather than months.

The awards come from a panel of certified security professionals who assessed market positioning, technical materials, and innovation rather than company size or funding, which is significant for a private vendor competing against larger incumbents. For executives evaluating exposure management or CTEM strategies, the recognition positions Reach Security as a credible, independently validated option in the next-generation InfoSec solutions segment.

Cyber Defense Magazine’s Global InfoSec Awards program, now in its thirteenth year, is widely followed by enterprise security decision makers and investors tracking emerging technologies. Being listed among the 2026 winners provides Reach Security with additional visibility at RSAC and in the broader cybersecurity community, potentially supporting future partnerships, customer acquisition, and capital-raising discussions.
