TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cato Networks, the SASE leader, today announced it was named to the 2026 Fortune Cyber 60 list for a third consecutive year. According to Fortune, the Cyber 60 is a listing of the most important venture-backed startups that have not had an IPO, acquisition, or other significant exit event.
"Being recognized in the Fortune Cyber 60 for a third year in a row is a reflection of our continued leadership in the cybersecurity industry," said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO at Cato Networks. "At Cato, our mission is clear: we are committed to redefining enterprise security for the digital and AI era."
To construct the Fortune Cyber 60 list, Lightspeed requested data from over 500 cybersecurity startups and performed an initial sort by ARR and current and prior year growth rate. The list is alphabetized into groups of 20 companies by stage: early stage, early growth stage, and growth stage. Cato was listed as a top growth stage company.
