Gambit Security Named to the Disruptors 60, Class of 2026, by Greenfield Partners at TechCrunch Disrupt
Recognition comes less than eight months after Gambit emerged from stealth with $61 million in funding and an AI-native cyber resilience platform for the AI era
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gambit, a cyber resilience company that helps enterprises ensure their critical operations are resilient, recoverable, and keep running, announced today it has been named to the Disruptors 60, Class of 2026, Greenfield Partners' annual list of the world's most groundbreaking AI startups, unveiled live on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt. The recognition comes less than eight months after Gambit emerged from stealth with $61 million in combined Seed and Series A funding from Spark Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Cyberstarts.
The Disruptors 60 spotlights the world's most groundbreaking AI startups, spanning infrastructure behind tomorrow's models and the applications reshaping critical industries. Greenfield considered hundreds of companies for this year's list and Gambit was selected for its work helping organizations keep their critical operations running through outages, whether due to cybersecurity incidents, errors, or IT failures.
"Every organization wants to move at the speed of AI. Each new AI tool, agent, and integration changes the environment the business runs on, and each change is a new way for something to break," said Alon Gromakov, Co-founder and CEO of Gambit Security. "AI also speeds up attacks and adds new possibilities for error. Yet most companies still can't show, with evidence, that their business would keep running or come back fast if something went wrong. We built Gambit to answer that question before a real incident forces it, and being named to this class confirms that resilience indeed sits at the center of how organizations can innovatively adopt AI."
Gambit continuously maps an organization's Minimum Viable Business (MVB), the critical applications, data, and dependencies it needs to operate, and proves it can recover as the environments change. It uses AI to ensure that map stays current, work that specialist teams previously performed manually. The platform flags infrastructure drift that would block a recovery, checks the conditions recovery depends on, such as coverage, immutability, and configuration, and scores each application using parameters that include live threat intelligence. The platform deploys agentlessly within 15 minutes and generates audit-ready evidence for DORA, NIST CSF, and SOX, replacing point-in-time resilience exercises with continuous proof of business recovery.
Since its launch, Gambit has deployed integrations with Wiz, Cyera, and Microsoft Sentinel and partnered with AHEAD. In August 2026, the company strengthened its leadership team with Martin Walter, formerly of Rubrik and Zscaler, as Chief Product Officer, and Jake Bernardes, former CISO at Anecdotes and Whistic, as Chief Information Security Officer.
This year, Gambit's threat intelligence team traced several major attacks in which adversaries used AI to go after backups, storage, or stolen data, the layers a company needs to recover after a breach. Every attack Gambit traced in 2026 served as fuel for updating its resilience platform, so their customers can be sure ahead of time that they will be recoverable even in the face of the latest attack techniques.
"Prevention will always matter, but what happens after an attack gets through decides the ultimate outcome," added Gromakov. "This recognition belongs to our team, and to the customers and partners who bet on us early to build the enterprise resilience layer that's missing in the industry."
