[Push Security](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00003ux/push-security) was named a winner in Cyber Defense Magazine's Top InfoSec Innovators for 2026, receiving the Publisher's Choice award in AI-Powered Threat Detection & Response, [Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261028975592/en/) reported on October 28, 2026. The award recognizes the company's agentic threat hunting pipeline, which pairs AI agents with human researchers to find and stop browser-based attacks.

## Push Security's Agentic Threat Hunting Pipeline

Push Security is a browser security company that deploys a lightweight extension into the browsers organizations already use, including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, emerging agentic browsers, and managed browsing solutions such as Island and Palo Alto Prisma Browser. The company says its pipeline targets attacks that bypass traditional network proxies, email gateways and endpoint security, including phishing kits that evade MFA, session hijacking, ClickFix attacks and sensitive data leaking into AI tools.

Push data shows that half of all payloads intercepted by the platform arrive outside email, beyond the reach of email security tools, and that 95% of browser-based attacks use bot protection to evade network security solutions. "Browser security is no longer optional — organizations have to add protection here in order to stop modern threats and protect sensitive data," said Adam Bateman, co-founder and CEO of Push Security. "Being inside the browser is what makes that possible, but you don't have to change the browsers you already use to solve these problems."

Cyber Defense Magazine's awards program is in its fourteenth year of honoring InfoSec innovators, recognizing 225 companies. [Cyber Defense Magazine](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000nk9r/cyber-defense-magazine) announced on October 26, 2026 that its 15th annual Global InfoSec awards are open for applications, with winners showcased at RSAC Conference 2027 in San Francisco, according to PR Newswire.

## Push Security's Funding and Scale

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Push Security has raised $49 million in total across three rounds: a $4 million seed in July 2022 led by Decibel, a $15 million Series A in April 2023 led by GV (Google Ventures), and a $30 million Series B in April 2025 led by Redpoint Ventures with Datadog Ventures and B3 Capital. The same records list the company's headquarters in Boston and a headcount range of 101 to 250.

Push Security launched AI-native agentic threat hunting in its Secure Enterprise Browser extension in May 2026, focusing on attacker techniques rather than indicators, Business Wire Blog reported.
