We are continuously advancing our Digital Executive Protection platform with proactive, automated defense capabilities to stay steps ahead of adversaries. Our rapid growth is a direct result of our team's continuous innovation and the demand from organizations seeking to protect their leadership." This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to cybersecurity, healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
