INDUSTRY RECOGNITION · MOMENTUM CYBER 2026 MARKET REPORT

Evolve Security Named 1 of 20 Cybersecurity Services Firms Shaping the Next Era of Cyber

Featured in Momentum Cyber's 2026 Cybersecurity Services Market Report

We are proud to share that Evolve Security has been selected as one of only 20 cybersecurity services firms featured in Momentum Cyber's highly anticipated 2026 Cybersecurity Services Market Report, published June 22nd. This recognition is a meaningful milestone: not just for our team, but for the approach to offensive security we've been building and refining for over a decade.

What This Recognition Means

Momentum Cyber is the premier trusted advisor to the global cybersecurity industry and the only investment bank exclusively focused on cybersecurity. Their annual market reports are closely watched by security leaders, investors, and practitioners as a definitive read on where the industry is heading and which firms are driving that direction.

Being selected for their 2026 report, from a field of more than 15,000 cybersecurity-focused services firms currently operating in the United States, reflects something we've long believed: that continuous, outcome-driven penetration testing is the future of how organizations manage cyber risk.

Twenty firms. Fifteen thousand candidates. We don't take that lightly.

Who We Are and What We're Building

Evolve Security is an offensive cybersecurity company delivering continuous penetration testing built around three key outcomes: knowing your attack surface, improving signal-to-noise ratio, and identifying high-impact exposures providing peace of mind through greater cyber resilience.

At the core of our offering is the Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT) platform, combining automation, offensive security experts, and software-enabled service delivery to validate exposures, measure control effectiveness, and improve resilience over time. We don't just find vulnerabilities and hand over a PDF. We help security teams understand what's real, what's exploitable, and what needs to change.

Our platform has earned real recognition from customers and analysts:

• 'Leader & Outperformer': GigaOm Radar
• 4.8 / 5: G2 Customer Rating
• 2,500+ Penetration Tests delivered

Built on Firsts

Evolve Security has consistently led the market in defining what modern offensive security looks like in practice. We authored the first-to-market CTEM Maturity Model, giving security teams a structured framework for measuring and advancing their Continuous Threat Exposure Management programs.

We developed the first-to-market Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM): a repeatable, scalable approach to offensive testing that goes beyond point-in-time assessments. And we were recently granted U.S. Patent 12,513,179 for Live Exploitation Video Escalation, a capability that lets customers watch critical findings being exploited in real time, making the urgency to remediate undeniable.

Core Offerings

Today's attack surfaces don't stand still, and neither does ours. Our platform is designed to test the full breadth of where organizations are exposed, continuously:

• Continuous Penetration Testing: Ongoing attack simulations that uncover and contextualize exploitable risks before adversaries can act on them.
• Network Testing: Regular external and internal penetration cycles uncovering lateral-movement paths, misconfigurations, and exploitable hosts across your environment.
• AI Penetration Testing: Tests models and prompts for leakage, injection, and misuse risks, a critical capability as AI becomes embedded in enterprise infrastructure.
• Cloud & Application Testing: Persistent testing across software, cloud, identity, and data paths to surface weaknesses across the modern application stack.
• Embedded Systems: Tests IoT, firmware, and communication devices to uncover hardware and supply-chain risks that most traditional security programs miss entirely.
• Red Team Advisory: Campaign-style exercises that prove security posture improvement over time, simulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures of real-world threat actors.

These aren't checkbox exercises. They're structured, expert-led engagements that give security teams the evidence they need to prioritize remediation and demonstrate control effectiveness to leadership and the board.

Looking Ahead

Being featured alongside 19 other leading firms in Momentum Cyber's 2026 report reflects where the market is moving: away from annual point-in-time assessments and toward continuous, intelligence-driven security validation.

We built Evolve Security because the traditional penetration testing model was broken: too infrequent, too manual, and too disconnected from the way attackers actually operate. The industry is catching up, and we're proud to be recognized as one of the firms leading the way.

To our clients, partners, the cyber community and especially our colleagues who've supported and challenged us along the way, thank you. This recognition belongs to all of you.
