Socket Named to Rising in Cyber 2026 List of Top Cybersecurity Startups

Socket has been recognized on the Rising in Cyber 2026 list, which highlights promising private cybersecurity startups, as selected by CISOs and executives from major organizations. Created by Notable Capital with input from Morgan Stanley, the list identifies 30 companies reshaping enterprise security. The accompanying report reveals a rapid increase in AI adoption, with many firms already deploying AI agents, but only a small fraction considering their AI security measures as advanced. It forecasts the cybersecurity market to grow significantly, reaching $255 billion by 2029, and underscores the challenges AI introduces, particularly in managing the software supply chain, which increasingly relies on open-source components. Socket aims to secure these components, ensuring faster development without compromising security, thereby aligning with the ongoing efforts to enhance enterprise security in the AI-driven landscape.
