Five Years on the Forbes Cloud 100: A Milestone Built on a Foundation of Truth

Today, for the fifth consecutive year, Axonius was named to the Forbes Cloud 100 list. Published by Forbes and in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures, the Forbes Cloud 100 is the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world. This is a moment of immense pride for our entire team, and we are incredibly grateful to our customers, partners, and the community for being part of this journey.

For us, this milestone is a powerful validation of our core mission. From the beginning, we set out to solve one of the most fundamental challenges in cybersecurity, moving organizations away from disjointed tools, static inventories, and manual guesswork. We believe that security doesn't have to be a battle fought with incomplete or inaccurate inventory data that leads to blind spots, uncertainty, and cross-functional conflicts.

This recognition truly belongs to our customers.

It belongs to the Security, IT, and Government, Rick and Compliance (GRC) teams who now have a trusted Axonius data model to make smart, data-driven decisions. It’s a victory for the CISO who can finally provide a single source of visibility and a single source of truth to their board. And it’s a win for the hands-on security analysts who can now automate more tasks because they have a source of truth that can tell them if something's out of compliance. We are honored to help solve these challenges every day.

Our purpose as a company has always been to bring Truth to Action in cybersecurity.

For five years, this award has highlighted the non-negotiable importance of that first principle: Truth. It’s the bedrock of any strong security program. The entire Axonius platform is built atop this strong data foundation, because action depends on truth. This milestone celebrates the work of providing a complete, accurate, and always up-to-date asset data model – the essential foundation that makes confident action possible.

This achievement is a direct result of the dedication and talent of every member of the Axonius team, the collaboration of our partners, and the invaluable feedback from our customers. It is a shared victory, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our story.

Celebrating five years on the Forbes Cloud 100 list reinforces our commitment to our core mission. Thank you for trusting us to build the foundation of truth for your organization.
