**April 8, 2026 - RealDefense recognized among the fastest-growing mid-size cybersecurity companies in the world.**

We're proud to announce that RealDefense has been named to the **2026 Cyber 150**, the annual list published by IT-Harvest that recognizes the most dynamic and fastest-growing mid-size cybersecurity vendors worldwide.

The Cyber 150 is built on objective, data-driven analysis of thousands of cybersecurity companies, evaluating growth in headcount, product adoption, and market traction. Selection reflects exceptional expansion and innovation across dozens of cybersecurity domains — from cloud security and identity to data protection and AI-driven security operations.

"The Cyber 150 demonstrates the power of a data-centric approach to understanding the cybersecurity industry," said Richard Stiennon, founder and chief research analyst of IT-Harvest. "By analyzing thousands of vendors and sorting by measurable growth, we can identify the companies that are emerging as the next leaders of cybersecurity."

For RealDefense, this recognition reflects our continued momentum in delivering consumer cybersecurity solutions that protect people where it matters most — on their devices, their networks, and their digital identities.  With solutions spanning performance optimization, identity protection, and privacy — System Mechanic, RemoveMe, iolo VPN, Privacy Guardian, and more — we remain focused on scaling to meet the evolving threat landscape. 

We're grateful to our team, our partners, and our customers who make this growth possible.
