Anti-Ransomware Leader Recognized Among Elite Cybersecurity Startups for Hyper-Growth Trajectory and Disruption of Ransomware Economy

Halcyon, a leading platform designed from day one to defeat ransomware, today announced it has been named to the Fortune Cyber 60 list of the most significant, fastest-growing venture-backed cybersecurity startups for the second consecutive year. The recognition positions Halcyon as the clear leader in the emerging anti-ransomware solutions category.

In partnership with Fortune, Lightspeed Venture Partners surveyed over 300 cybersecurity startups to create a definitive list of the top companies whose success in combating the ever-evolving threat posed by cybercriminals hinges on staying one step ahead of adversaries. Halcyon has earned a spot on the Fortune Cyber 60 list twice, underscoring the company's critical role in delivering operational resilience against ransomware attacks for organizations and their stakeholders.

The concern over disruptive ransomware attacks extends beyond business leaders and C-suite executives. Threat actors have increasingly taken advantage of highly vulnerable industries, including critical infrastructure sectors like healthcare, that impact ordinary peoples' jobs, quality of life, and safety. With ransomware attacks increasing by 300%, particularly in the healthcare sector alone, it has never been more critical to equip and support organizations with an effective anti-ransomware solution. The Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform is the only solution uniquely designed to minimize operational disruptions and instantly reverse the impact of a successful attack, enabling organizations to get back to business in minutes without having to rely on data backups or ever having to resort to paying a ransom demand.

“We are honored to be named to the Fortune Cyber 60 list for the second year in a row. The latest recognition by Fortune is a testament to our unwavering commitment to making ransomware history,” said Jon Miller, CEO and co-founder, Halcyon. “Every day, people are increasingly living under the threat of ransomware, knowing the risk that an attack could impact them at any time–at the bank, at the gas pump, even at their doctor’s office. That’s why Halcyon is committed to delivering highly innovative solutions to the most significant security challenge of our time.”

Since launching in 2021, Halcyon has remained steadfast in its mission of reducing ransomware risk to zero and providing global organizations of all sectors with the essential tools and services to ensure they are safeguarded against today’s greatest threat. Over the last year, Halcyon has continued its momentum, bringing new solutions to market and securing investments from SYN Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital, Corner Ventures, Cisco Investments, and Evolution Equity Partners. With over $90M in funding to date, Halcyon is turbocharging the development and adoption of its industry-leading anti-ransomware platform. The recognition from Fortune is proof positive of Halcyon’s momentum.
