Company’s Breakthrough Agentic Security Platform Recognized for Completely Reimagining How Enterprises Operate
-7AI, the leader in agentic security, today announced that it has been named to Fortune Magazine’s2026 Cyber 60 list of the most important venture-backed startups. Now in its third year, Fortune editors partnered with Lightspeed Venture Partners to identify the top companies that offer enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions and have not had an IPO, acquisition, or other significant exit event.
7AI’s autonomous AI agents redefine cybersecurity from a reactive cost center into a proactive business enabler. When threats emerge, swarms of specialized 7AI agents instantly mobilize, each handling specific investigative tasks in parallel. Rather than follow pre-written playbooks or simple if-then rules, its agents use Dynamic Reasoning, a breakthrough innovation that adapt 7AI agents’ investigations based on what they discover, following unexpected leads and making contextual decisions just as a human expert would, but at machine speed. This autonomy empowers security teams to focus on complex, higher value responsivities, essentially shifting the routine tasks to the AI.
With proper authorization policies, 7AI agents also execute responses—isolating compromised systems, blocking malicious traffic, or initiating incident response procedures. This closes the loop from detection to resolution in minutes instead of hours, fundamentally changing the economics of cyber defense. In just eight months since general availability, 7AI has saved customers over $11 million in productivity and is projected to save over $100 million in 2025.
“7AI is already processing end-to-end security investigations for some of the world’s largest enterprises—including the most expansive agentic deployment on record at DXC—proving that transformative AI isn’t theoretical but is operating in production today,” said Lior Div, CEO and co-founder at 7AI. “We see AI as an opportunity to empower defenders. What sets 7AI apart is true autonomy—our agents do non-human work, elevating security professionals by freeing them from tasks they were never meant to do. This recognition by Fortune and Lightspeed Venture Partners affirms our commitment to improving the lives and outcomes of security professionals everywhere.”
To construct the Fortune Cyber 60 list, Lightspeed Venture Partners surveyed more than 500 cybersecurity startups based on market data, including growth rate and ARR, provided by Pitchbook. Lightspeed also nominated companies for consideration based on the investment partners’ research and analysis of the cybersecurity market landscape.
