Cloud Range today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks the second consecutive year Cloud Range has earned a place on the prestigious list after achieving 173% revenue growth over the past three years.
The recognition reflects a fundamental shift in cybersecurity. With the growing complexity of threats, it is no longer enough for organizations to depend on security tools and traditional cybersecurity training to ensure their team is prepared.
Using Cloud Range’s live-fire simulation platform, security leaders get measurable proof that their human defenders and AI SOC agents are ready before an attack puts them to the test.
Since pioneering the industry’s first cloud-based cyber range, Cloud Range has evolved into the leading Cyber Readiness and Validation Platform. Organizations use Cloud Range to build real-world experience, measure performance, identify operational gaps, and continuously improve readiness. The platform includes realistic live-fire cyberattack simulations, AI agent testing and validation, and performance analytics across enterprise IT, cloud, OT, and hybrid environments.
“Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 for the second consecutive year is an incredible honor,” said Debbie Gordon, Founder and CEO of Cloud Range. “It reflects the trust our customers place in us and the growing necessity for measurable cyber readiness. We built Cloud Range because security leaders deserve more than assumptions. They need to know where they’re strong, where they’re vulnerable, and what they need to improve before the next attack. And they need confidence that their people, processes, and AI are ready when it matters most. That’s what Cloud Range helps them do every day.”
Over the past year, Cloud Range expanded its platform with new capabilities for AI validation, cyber readiness measurement, executive reporting, and performance analytics. These enhancements build on the platform’s core purpose of helping organizations become battle-ready by enabling security leaders to measure improvement over time, communicate cyber readiness to executives and boards, and make better decisions based on objective performance data.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
The annual Inc. 5000 recognizes the nation’s most successful independent businesses based on three-year revenue growth. Companies included on this year’s list have demonstrated resilience, innovation, and sustained business performance in a dynamic economic environment. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy.
