Zip Security Wins SMB Cybersecurity Award

Zip Security has been named 2026 SMB CyberSecurity Solution of the Year by CyberSecurity Breakthrough. The platform automates security controls for growing companies, including those without a dedicated security team. It covers devices, identities, employee email, sensitive data, endpoints, and compliance requirements. Zip is built for companies with under 5,000 employees.

Security That Changes With Growth

Zip automatically enforces security controls as a company adds employees, devices, applications, and AI tools. Its AI Access Visibility feature shows which AI applications employees use and what company information those applications can access.

Protection also extends to identities, data loss prevention, and compliance requirements.

“This award recognizes what Zip has gotten right: they brought security and engineering experts together to automate the security fundamentals every business needs. Zip is our go-to platform when building the foundations of a corporate security program for our clients. It gives us confidence that their security posture stays strong while they can focus on building their business”

CrowdStrike Deployment

Zip brings CrowdStrike protection to growing businesses and automatically deploys it across company devices. The platform monitors agent health and endpoint coverage as companies add employees and devices.

Zip is also part of CrowdStrike’s Project QuiltWorks, which focuses on extending AI risk protection to small and mid-sized businesses.

“AI is raising the stakes for every business, regardless of size. Meeting that challenge requires a massive mobilization across the cybersecurity ecosystem to bring the best protection to every organization. Partners like Zip Security help us extend the power of CrowdStrike to more businesses, making world-class cybersecurity accessible to the companies that need it in the AI era.”

A Security Program for SMBs

Zip aims to reduce the operational work of running security controls for growing companies. The company has also launched a free Brand Protection tool.

“Every business deserves world-class security, not just the ones with a large security team. Zip has built something truly special. Its AI-driven, agentic approach makes the complexity of operationalizing security controls seamless, so strong security becomes simple for SMBs to run and scale. I'm incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished, and this recognition confirms that Zip is leading the way in democratizing cybersecurity.”
