ZeroThreat Wins Cybersecurity Excellence Awards 2026
ZeroThreat has been awarded Silver recognition at the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards 2026, honoring outstanding innovation in AI-powered web application security and real-time threat intelligence.
About the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards honor companies, products, services, industry solutions, and professionals that demonstrate innovation, leadership, and measurable impact in cybersecurity. Evaluated by industry experts, practitioners, and security leaders, the awards recognize solutions that address real-world security challenges faced by modern organizations. Winners are evaluated on real-world impact, not market positioning.
Why ZeroThreat Was Recognized for Web Application Security
ZeroThreat’s web app security testing tool was recognized for transforming AppSec by shifting from detection-based scanning to proof-driven validation, enabling organizations to identify, confirm, and remediate real exploitable vulnerabilities.
Proof-Based Vulnerability Exploitation
Every vulnerability is validated with real exploit evidence, ensuring findings are accurate, reproducible, and actionable. Hence, it eliminates false positives while significantly reducing the need for manual verification by security teams.
Agentic AI-Driven Pentesting
Our AI agent tests continuously like a skilled human attacker, chaining vulnerabilities, adapting to application logic, and discovering exploitable paths that signature-based scanners miss entirely. It uncovers more than 100K+ vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10 and CWE/SANS Top 25.
Built for APIs and Modern Web Applications
Designed for modern architectures, ZeroThreat’s web app pentesting provides deep security testing across REST APIs, microservices, and dynamic apps, ensuring comprehensive coverage in environments where traditional tools often fall short.
AI-Powered Remediation
ZeroThreat provides AI-driven remediation guidance with context-aware fixes, enabling developers to quickly understand, prioritize, and resolve validated vulnerabilities with clear, actionable steps aligned to application code.
Near Zero False Positives
By focusing only on validated vulnerabilities, ZeroThreat eliminates alert fatigue caused by false positives. This helps security teams prioritize real risks, streamline workflows, and improve overall efficiency in vulnerability management processes.
From Our Leadership
“This recognition validates our core belief that detecting vulnerabilities is not enough. Security teams deserve confirmed proof of exploitability, and developers deserve findings they can act on without expertise. At ZeroThreat, we’re focused on delivering proof, not assumptions, so teams can act with confidence and speed.”

What This Recognition Means for Security Teams
Reduce Pentesting Bottlenecks
Stop waiting weeks for manual assessments. Automate continuous pentesting with validated results, reducing reliance on time-consuming manual assessments while maintaining accuracy and improving coverage.
Eliminate False Positives
Stop spending too much time on false alerts. Our web app pentesting tool validates vulnerabilities with real exploit evidence, helping teams focus exclusively on confirmed, actionable security issues that require immediate attention.
Ship Secure Product Faster
Dev-ready remediation guidance means fixes happen during sprint, but not after production incidents. Integrate security testing into development workflows to identify and fix vulnerabilities earlier.
Seamless DevSecOps Integration
Native CI/CD integration makes security a built-in development step rather than a last-minute audit. ZeroThreat integrates directly into existing pipelines, enabling continuous, automated security testing throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
Focus on Exploitable Risks
Prioritize vulnerabilities that are proven exploitable in real-world scenarios. This helps to allocate resources effectively, reduce risk faster, and avoid wasting time on theoretical or low-impact findings.
Comparing Traditional Pentesting vs AI–Powered Automated Pentesting
| Capability |  ZeroThreat | Traditional Tools | Manual Pentesting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof of Exploitation Included |  Every Finding |  Signature Only |  Sometimes |
| Zero False Positives | Validated | High Noise | Manual Review |
| Continuous / Automated Coverage | Always-on | Scheduled Scans | Point-in-Time |
| Business Logic & API Coverage | Context-aware | Surface-level | Skilled Tester |
| CI/CD Pipeline Integration | Native | Possible | Not Scalable |
| Developer-ready Remediation | Structured Output | CVSS Dumps | Varies |
| Scales with Release Velocity | Unlimited | Rate-limited | Expensive at Scale |
