ZeroThreat Wins Bronze Stevie® Award in Tech Startup of the Year
ZeroThreat has been named a Bronze Stevie® Award winner in Tech Startup of the Year – Software at the 23rd Annual International Business Awards®, recognizing the company’s innovation and impact in building AI-powered security testing for modern web applications and APIs.
A Stevie® Recognition for Software Innovation
The International Business Awards®, also known as the International Stevie®, recognizes organizations and professionals for achievements across business, technology, innovation, product development, and other areas of work. The 2026 program marks the 23rd annual edition of the awards.
For ZeroThreat, this recognition reflects the company’s work to rethink how application security testing is delivered, which moves beyond traditional, point-in-time scanning toward automated, AI-powered pentesting that can continuously test modern applications and APIs for exploitable security weaknesses.
Why ZeroThreat Stands Out as a Tech Startup
Security teams need to test faster across complex applications, APIs, authentication, and business logic. ZeroThreat was recognized for transforming pentesting from a manual, scheduled bottleneck into an AI-driven process with validated, developer-ready findings.
AI-Powered Automated Pentesting
ZeroThreat automates application security testing across web applications and APIs, helping security teams identify vulnerabilities without relying entirely on manual testing or complex security configurations.
From Detection to Validation
Finding a potential vulnerability is only the beginning. ZeroThreat focuses on validating security findings with evidence of exploitability, helping teams distinguish actionable vulnerabilities from noisy alerts.
Built for Modern Applications
ZeroThreat goes beyond conventional vulnerability scanning with testing for APIs, authentication, business logic, dynamic SPAs, complex user journeys, and application workflows.
Business-Aware Risk Prioritization
Severity scores alone don't tell a security team what to fix first. ZeroThreat prioritizes findings by exploitability and business context, so remediation effort lands where the real exposure is.
Security That Fits the Development Lifecycle
With CI/CD integrations, automated testing, developer-ready remediation guidance, and compliance-oriented reporting, ZeroThreat helps bring application security closer to where software is built and shipped.
A Message from Our Co-Founder
Dharmesh Acharya
Co-Founder
This recognition is a meaningful milestone for ZeroThreat because it reflects the problem we set out to solve from day one, which makes high-quality application security testing accessible at the speed modern software teams operate. We believe security testing should continuously evolve with the application, not remain a periodic exercise. This award motivates us to keep pushing that mission forward.
