ORION Security Named a 2026 SINET16 Honoree

ORION Security announced today that it's been named a 2026 SINET16 Honoree, one of just 16 companies selected from 158 applicants across 10 countries.

The 2026 SINET16 were chosen through a "fiercely competitive" selection process led by more than 100 industry experts, including CISOs from industry-leading enterprises. In announcing this year’s honorees, SINET called them “the most promising early-stage and emerging cybersecurity companies shaping what comes next.”

SINET connects CISOs, risk executives, and investors with early-stage companies driving cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions. Its annual SINET16 program recognizes companies developing innovative approaches to some of cybersecurity’s most pressing challenges.

The explosion of AI, SaaS, and cloud applications leads those challenges, as it's changed how sensitive data moves through the enterprise, exposing the limits of legacy DLP tooling built around predefined rules and individual control points. ORION Security takes a fundamentally different approach and is built around data movement, context, and user intent. 

“Being named a SINET16 Honoree is especially meaningful, with votes coming from cyber professionals and ORION Security customers who understand what enterprise security teams are up against,” said Nitay Milner, Co-Founder and CEO of ORION Security. “Data security is at the forefront of this change, with companies requiring visibility and control of data in motion. Data loss prevention is undergoing a renaissance, and ORION Security is leading the charge.”

"Each year we identify early stage companies building what the industry needs, but who can struggle to be seen through the noise in the market," said Robert Rodriguez, SINET founder and chairman. "The SINET community is designed to help entrepreneurs grow their companies by connecting the ecosystem of buyers, investors, and solution providers in support of our mission to advance innovation to defeat global cyber threats. Congratulations to ORION Security as a SINET16 Honoree."

The ORION agentic DLP platform brings together continuous data lineage, context-aware classification, identity, environment, and user intent across endpoints, browsers, AI tools, SaaS, and email. Where some DLP tools use AI only to classify data or triage alerts, ORION uses AI to reason over the risk of the movement itself, detecting threats without requiring security teams to anticipate every threat. 

The SINET16 recognition follows a period of rapid growth for ORION. In February 2026, the company raised a $32 million Series A led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from IBM Ventures and existing investors, bringing total funding to $38 million. 

ORION Security will be recognized as a SINET16 Honoree at SINETNew York on October 8. Contact us to request an in-person meeting with ORION Security executives in attendance.
