Silent Push joins the ranks of Google, Nvidia, Adidas, Walmart, and more
Reston, VA (March 24, 2026) — Silent Push, a leading preemptive cybersecurity vendor, is proud to have been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026, ranking No. 14 in the Security category. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 720 honorees across 59 sectors and regions.
“Being recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies is a powerful validation of our mission to shift organizations to preemptive cyber defense.” said Ken Bagnall, CEO and Co-Founder of Silent Push.
“For too long, the industry has operated reactively, chasing indicators of compromise after damage is done. We built Silent Push to flip that model, giving defenders the ability to see attacker infrastructure before it’s weaponized and stop threats before they happen.”
Over the past 18 months, Silent Push has redefined threat intelligence by pioneering Indicators of Future Attack® (IOFA®), a new approach that shifts security teams from reactive response to proactive defense. Unlike traditional indicators of compromise that focus on known, already-used threats, IOFA® enables organizations to identify and track adversary infrastructure at its earliest stages. Through continuous innovation across its platform, including capabilities like Total View, IP Context, and advanced infrastructure analysis, Silent Push provides deep visibility into how attackers build, evolve, and operate their campaigns across the internet.
A key milestone in this evolution is the launch of Traffic Origin, a breakthrough capability designed to expose the true upstream source of malicious activity, even when attackers attempt to hide behind residential proxies, virtual private networks, or laptop farm operations. By revealing the real geographic and infrastructural origins of seemingly legitimate traffic, Traffic Origin allows organizations to detect high-risk activity earlier and prevent sophisticated fraud, insider threats, and nation-state attacks before they escalate.
Together, these innovations are enabling a new category of preemptive cyber defense. Silent Push customers, including Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies, can now map and monitor adversary infrastructure in real time, identify patterns of malicious behavior before execution, and disrupt attacks at their inception. This shift from post-incident analysis to proactive threat prevention represents a fundamental change in how modern security operations are conducted.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it.”
Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company.
“The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”
The full list of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies honorees can now be found at fastcompany.com. It will also be available on newsstands beginning March 31, 2026.
Fast Company will host the Most Innovative Companies Summit and Gala for honorees on May 19 in New York City. The summit features a day of inspiring content, followed by a creative black-tie gala including networking, a seated dinner, and an honoree presentation.
