Swimlane Named to Inc.’s Best Workplaces List for Third Consecutive Year

Award recognizes AI security automation leader for fostering a high-performance, people-first culture

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Swimlane, the leader in agentic AI automation for security operations, today announced it has been named to Inc.'s 2026 Best Workplaces list. This marks the third consecutive year that Swimlane has earned a spot on the annual list, which recognizes the top U.S. companies that are redefining what it means to be a workplace of excellence.

The award is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants. The process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score.

“Being named to Inc.’s Best Workplaces list again is an incredible honor and a direct reflection of the people behind Swimlane,” said Cody Cornell, Co-Founder and CEO of Swimlane. “Our team is building the future of AI security automation, and that takes curiosity, grit and a culture where people are trusted to do their best work. This recognition belongs to every Swimlaner who shows up each day to support our customers, challenge what’s possible and make this company a place where people can grow.”

Swimlane’s culture is shaped by the same focus it brings to customers, helping teams move faster, think bigger and solve complex problems with confidence. Employees are empowered to take ownership, collaborate across functions and turn bold ideas into meaningful outcomes. That shared accountability helps Swimlane sustain its momentum while building a workplace where innovation and impact go hand in hand.

This recognition adds to a standout year for Swimlane. The company earned a spot on Inc.'s 2025 Best Workplaces list and the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, claimed a 2026 CSO Award for Automated SaaS Compliance Audit Readiness, and took Silver in the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for Agentic AI Security. QKS Group named the company both a technology excellence leader and Ace Performer in the 2026 SPARK Matrix for SOAR.

“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture–it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”
