XBOW Named to Fortune Cyber 60 for the Second Consecutive Year

Recognition reflects XBOW’s growing enterprise adoption and advancements in autonomous offensive security

XBOW , the autonomous offensive security company, today announced it has been named to the Fortune Cyber 60 list for the second consecutive year. Developed in partnership between Fortune and Lightspeed Ventures , Cyber 60 honors the top venture-backed companies driving significant growth and delivering the highest value in cybersecurity today.

“When Fortune named XBOW to the Cyber 60 last year, autonomous offensive security was still proving what was technically possible. A year later, we’re proving what’s possible at enterprise scale,” said Oege de Moor, CEO and Founder of XBOW. “We’ve focused on turning breakthrough technology into a capability security teams can rely on every day, from discovering vulnerabilities to validating and ultimately helping remediate them. This recognition reflects how far the technology, the market and XBOW have come in just one year.”

XBOW finds and proves exploitable vulnerabilities the way an attacker would, with autonomous agents exploring unfamiliar applications, adapting as they test, and producing real insights that security teams can trust. By reassigning tasks that once depended on scarce, highly-specialized human talent, XBOW allows organizations to apply expert-level offensive security quickly, seamlessly and continuously, across a broader share of applications.

To support adoption at scale, XBOW expanded its offensive security platform in 2026. Launched in September, Autonomous Exposure Management (AEM) unifies attack-surface discovery, prioritization, AI-powered testing, validated exploitation and retesting across an organization’s external application portfolio. The XBOW Public API and Jira integration embed assessments and verified findings into existing security and development workflows, while expansion of data residency to Australia, Canada, Japan, the EU, and Singapore makes it possible for more enterprises across the globe to work with XBOW. Together, these capabilities advance XBOW’s vision of making offensive security continuous, scalable and accessible across the enterprise.

The Fortune Cyber 60 recognition follows months of external validation and achievement for XBOW. In October, XBOW was named to Forbes’ inaugural The Agentic 20 and won Best Offensive Security Solution in the 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Awards . XBOW also disclosed a three-vulnerability Google Chrome attack chain built in six days by a single XBOW researcher working with AI agents. The discovery rewarded XBOW Google’s first $250,000 Chrome full-chain reward under its 2026 rules. Together, these milestones reflect XBOW’s progress in broadening real-world use of autonomous offensive security, and pushing the technical boundaries around what it can find and improve.

The Fortune Cyber 60™ list, developed in partnership with Lightspeed Venture Partners and AWS, recognizes 60 of the most important venture-backed cybersecurity startups that have not yet undergone an IPO, acquisition, or other significant exit. Companies are grouped into three categories of 20—Early Stage, Early Growth Stage, and Growth Stage—and listed alphabetically within each category. Selection is based on financial performance, growth, business operations, and cybersecurity market research, with the final list reviewed and validated by Fortune.
