LOS ANGELES, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry, today announced that CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. (TSXV: CYBE) (OTCQB: CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, has been selected as winner of the “Security-as-a-Service Innovation of the Year” award in the 10th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program.
In this landmark 10th year, the 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.
“CyberCatch provides continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation. Billions are spent each year on cybersecurity, and yet attackers continue to break into networks, steal data and install ransomware. Most organizations are not in compliance with standards, have missing or ineffective controls, don’t mimic the attacker accurately or perform regular pen tests,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough.
“CyberCatch's unique combined solution maximizes AI, making sure the entire defense is compliant and up to par, and then tests that defense continuously to find and fix security holes. No one else is providing this powerful combination that addresses the root cause of cyber risk, particularly as a service,” continued Mr. Johansson.
The 2026 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award recognizes the breakthrough innovation from CyberCatch, which first identifies security gaps through an intelligent, AI-enabled assessment of cybersecurity controls. The breakthrough solution helps organizations to evaluate their current security posture, identify missing or ineffective controls, and benchmark their risk against industry frameworks. CyberCatch then provides guidance through each step of the process so that companies can quickly attain compliance and cyber risk mitigation.
The breakthrough innovation then enables organizations to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats with agentic AI-enabled continuous Pen Testing for year-round protection. The intelligent, continuous tests are performed by agents with specific skill sets with current attacker tactics and techniques, and supervised by human experts, and remediation is prioritized with clear guidance, ensuring there are no security holes that an attacker can exploit. It identifies the root cause of the control failure and shows how to quickly fix it.
“CyberCatch is honored to have won the prestigious CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award for ‘Security-as-a-Service Innovation of the Year.’ Our patented, innovative solution uses AI to thwart threat actors by keeping organizations one step ahead. CyberCatch solves for the root cause of why attackers are successful: unknown security holes. We use AI to find the security holes and help fix, before an attacker can find and exploit using AI,” said Sai Huda, Founder and CEO of CyberCatch. “Our AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution transforms cyber risk mitigation so organizations can be safe and continue to grow and succeed,” continued Mr. Huda.
Marking its 10-year milestone this year, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards has spent a decade on a mission that hasn’t wavered: to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Over that decade, the program has grown to span a wide range of categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more, consistently shining a light on the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.
