DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Swimlane, the leader in agentic AI automation for every

security function, today announced it has been named to the annual 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia.

"Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the third year in a row confirms the pace we're building at," said Cody Cornell, Co-Founder and CEO of Swimlane. "Fast growth only matters if you can back it up with real results for customers. Our team stays focused on solving the hard problems security teams face every day and this recognition reflects that work. We're not slowing down."

This achievement follows Swimlane's continued momentum in 2026, including the launch of AI SOC with Intelligent Deep Agents, a major redefinition of security operations, and the expansion of AI SOC tailored to serve MSSP customers.

Swimlane was also named a Top Technology Performer in the 2026 QKS Group SPARK Matrix for the fourth consecutive year, and won the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Agentic AI Security and the 2026 CSO Award for Automated SaaS Audit Readiness.

Inc. also named Swimlane to its Best Workplaces list for the third consecutive year, and Swimlane became the first AI SOC platform to achieve FedRAMP High certification.

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like.
