IRONSCALES Named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the Sixth Consecutive Year

“Making the Inc. 5000 for the sixth year in a row is a milestone we owe to our customers and partners,” said Eyal Benishti, founder and CEO of IRONSCALES. “They trust us to protect their people against the most advanced attacks in email, from business email compromise to account takeover to deepfakes, and that trust is what fuels our growth. Attackers now use generative AI and deepfakes to impersonate the very people we rely on. We are meeting that shift with AI-powered, human-centered security that helps organizations trust what they read, see, and hear.”

Six Years of Consistent Growth and Market Leadership

Earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 for six years running reflects the sustained demand for AI-powered email security and the trust of a global community that now spans more than 17,000 organizations, 3,500+ MSP partners, and 35,000+ security professionals. IRONSCALES has turned that community into a durable advantage. Every threat encountered anywhere in the network sharpens protection for everyone in it.

Driving Innovation in Email Security

Email remains the primary entry point for cyberattacks, and the threat has entered a new era. Generative AI, deepfake voice and video, and multi-channel social engineering now define what IRONSCALES calls Phishing 3.0. Over the past year, IRONSCALES has answered that shift with a series of industry-first innovations, including:

• Three AI agents for the security team. The Red Teaming Agent anticipates attacks designed for a specific organization, the Phishing SOC Agent delivers L2 analyst-level investigation in minutes rather than hours, and the Phishing Simulation Agent trains employees against the tactics actually being used against them.
• Real-time deepfake protection for Microsoft Teams. Industry-first identity verification for live meetings using visual and audio analysis, with a privacy-first design that keeps no recordings or transcripts.
• Themis, the agentic AI virtual SOC. Autonomous classification, clustering, and remediation that cuts incident response from 30 minutes to 30 seconds and handles more than 99% of threats hands-free.
• Adaptive AI refined by human intelligence. Self-learning behavioral models, sharpened continuously by the IRONSCALES community, that catch what Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and legacy gateways miss.

This cadence of innovation has kept IRONSCALES at the front of the AI-powered email security market and earned recognition from Gartner, IDC, GigaOm, Frost & Sullivan, KuppingerCole, and G2.
