We are excited to announce that Skyhawk Security has been named a finalist in SiliconANGLE’s 2026 TechForward Awards in the AI-Powered Threat Detection category category.
Skyhawk Security, a pioneer in AI-based cloud security, delivers an autonomous, preemptive cloud security platform that detects threats before they become breaches. Traditional threat detection tools alert after an attacker is already inside. Skyhawk identifies the attack paths an adversary would take before they take them with its AI Red Team, which deploys specialized AI agents against a continuously updated digital twin of your cloud environment, simulating real adversarial behavior to surface the precise vulnerabilities that are genuinely exploitable against your most critical assets. Skyhawk solves the fundamental gap between knowing you are exposed and knowing what will actually be used against you delivering threat detection that is predictive, not retrospective.
“The cloud security industry has spent a decade building tools that answer the wrong question. CNAPP, CSPM, and vulnerability management platforms excel at cataloging what is misconfigured or exposed, but none can tell you which findings an AI adversary would actually weaponize against your environment today. This is the structural gap Skyhawk closes. As AI-driven attacks grow in speed, autonomy, and sophistication, the distance between “theoretically vulnerable” and “actively exploitable” has become the most consequential blind spot in enterprise security” Chen Burshan, CEO, Skyhawk Security.
The TechForward Awards recognize the technologies and solutions driving business forward. As the trusted voice of enterprise and emerging tech, SiliconANGLE applies a rigorous editorial lens to highlight innovations reshaping how businesses operate in our rapidly changing landscape. This awards program honors both established enterprise solutions and breakthrough technologies defining the future of business, spanning AI innovation, security excellence, cloud transformation, data platform evolution and blockchain/crypto tech. Skyhawk Security was selected from a competitive field of nominees by a panel of industry experts and technology leaders.
“Congratulations to this year’s finalists,” said Dave Vellante, co-founder and co-CEO of SiliconANGLE Media. “Every company on this list earned its place through customer results including renewal rates, expansion revenue and direct feedback from the individuals using these products daily. Our judges evaluate that evidence when deciding who deserves this recognition.”
Recently, Skyhawk’s AI Red Team was able to achieve full AWS Org take over in just a few seconds. What was so startling, this fintech was a member of the “zero criticals” club, yet, Skyhawk’s AI Red Team was able to dynamically manipulate legitimate configurations and then chain them together to fully take over the AWS org. That is game over for any organization.
“Each year, the TechForward Awards recognize the technology decisions that pay off for the businesses making them,” said John Furrier, co-founder and co-CEO of SiliconANGLE Media. “This year’s finalists span AI, security, cloud and data platforms, and each one solved a true problem for the customers who adopted it.”
