Doppel Secures Spot on Fortune Cyber 60 for the Second Year Running in 2026-2027
Doppel, an innovative Frontier AI Social Engineering Defense (SED) platform, has made headlines for the second consecutive year by securing a spot on the prestigious Fortune Cyber 60 list for 2026-2027. This list, curated in collaboration with Fortune editors, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and AWS, highlights the most pivotal venture-backed startups that are poised to shape the future of cybersecurity. Recognition on such a list signifies not only financial success but also excellence in business operations, rapid growth, and thorough market research in the cybersecurity domain.
As social engineering tactics evolve into more sophisticated forms, notably through the use of AI, traditional cybersecurity defenses face critical challenges. Phishing attacks are becoming increasingly personalized and effectively scaled across various channels. Doppel was established to respond directly to this changing landscape, focusing on empowering organizations by protecting them throughout the social engineering attack lifecycle. The platform utilizes intelligent AI to merge Digital Risk Protection, Human Risk Management, and Email Security, enabling organizations to identify and mitigate threats across diverse channels. It not only detects but also disrupts the infrastructure supporting these attacks, thereby fostering resilience among employees against ever-evolving cyber threats.
Kevin Tian, co-founder and CEO of Doppel, expressed pride in the company’s achievements, stating, "Being named to the Fortune Cyber 60 for the second consecutive year is significant for our team and reflects the progress we've made as a company. The recent surge in sophisticated phishing techniques and the capabilities of attackers indicate that we are at an important juncture in cybersecurity. As an industry, our responsibility is to provide defenders with the technology and resources necessary to outsmart these threats. What we’ve accomplished so far is remarkable, and we’re just getting started.'
The recognition comes amidst a year of significant growth for Doppel, with notable expansions into markets in Japan and Toronto, the launch of new features across its Social Engineering Defense platform, and surpassing a threshold of 300 employees. The company was also highlighted in Fast Company’s 2026 Best Workplaces for Innovators list and bagged the 2026 SiliconANGLE TechForward Award in the AI-Powered Threat Detection category.
The methodology behind the Fortune Cyber 60 list is robust. Companies are grouped into three stages—Early Stage, Early Growth Stage, and Growth Stage—ensuring a fair assessment of businesses at different development levels. The selection is based on various factors such as financial performance, growth rates, operational practices, and comprehensive market analysis in cybersecurity, reviewed by Fortune’s editorial team.
For those wanting to familiarize themselves further with Doppel and its revolutionary Frontier AI Social Engineering Defense platform, information is readily available at their website: doppel.com. The platform is designed to prevent threats stemming from social engineering tactics, safeguarding both individuals and brands against impersonation, phishing, fraud, and deceit. It comprises three core solutions operational on the Doppel Superintelligence Layer: Digital Risk Protection, which anticipates attacks by monitoring and dismantling potential threats; Email Security, which secures inboxes by assessing and dismantling malicious infrastructure; and Human Risk Management, which transforms live threats into simulations, thereby training users and assessing risk on an individual or team basis. With all signals flowing through a shared Threat Graph, any threat detected strengthens defenses universally, while autonomous agents ensure no missed detection goes unaddressed.
In conclusion, Doppel's commitment remains steadfast. Each day, the mission continues to evolve, aiming to dismantle the social engineering attack chain and provide proactive protection against an ever-growing array of cyber threats.
