TEL AVIV — May 12, 2026 —Beacon Security today announced its inclusion in Rising in Cyber 2026, an independent annual list launched by Notable Capital to recognize the 30 most promising private cybersecurity startups. Now in its third year, Rising in Cyber has become a trusted signal of what is actually moving the needle in enterprise security.
Unlike traditional rankings, Rising in Cyber honorees are selected through voting by 150 active CISOs and senior security executives; the result is a reliable signal of what security teams are actually adopting to address their most urgent challenges.
Beacon joins a cohort that has collectively raised over $6.9 billion, according to PitchBook, and is defining the next generation of cybersecurity across critical areas, including identity and access management, agentic AI security, security operations, and application defense.
The 2026 honorees were named alongside the release of the Rising in Cyber 2026 Report, produced in collaboration with Morgan Stanley. The report draws on CISO survey data and market analysis to map how the cybersecurity industry is evolving from AI agents reshaping security operations to a historic surge in strategic M&A, and separates signal from noise for investors, operators, and security leaders.
"Security is now moving from a constraint to an enabler on how fast AI can actually scale inside the enterprise. The 150 CISOs who voted on this list understand that better than anyone,” said Oren Yunger, Managing Partner, Notable Capital. “Congratulations to this year's Rising in Cyber honorees for earning their trust."
Honorees will be recognized at a private event on May 12 at the New York Stock Exchange in San Francisco alongside top security leaders and investors.
“We’re honored to be named to Rising in Cyber 2026,” said Gal Tal-Hochberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Beacon Security. “Enterprises are rapidly adopting AI agents, but security models haven’t kept up with how these systems actually operate. Beacon was built to give organizations real-time, unified context across identities, code, and runtime so they can understand and control what their AI systems are doing. This recognition from CISOs reinforces that the market is ready for a fundamentally different approach.”
