Incode Nov 10, 2026

TechRound has ranked Incode in the top five of its Cybersecurity40 2026, a list of this year's top 40 cybersecurity companies chosen by a panel of industry judges.

In this post, you'll learn what the Cybersecurity40 recognizes, why the judges said Incode stood out, and why identity now sits at the center of cybersecurity.

What TechRound's Cybersecurity40 recognizes

TechRound is a UK startup and technology news site founded in 2016. Its Cybersecurity40 celebrates standout innovators transforming data defense, digital trust, and cyber resilience. The judges reviewed this year's entries and selected the final top 40, announced on November 5, 2026.

The 2026 judging panel included:

  • Daniel Di Nardo, Founder at IntelliBreach
  • Aler Rab, Deputy CEO at Cloudzy
  • Michael Jenkins, CTO at ThreatLocker
  • Les-leigh A, Content and Marketing Executive at TechRound

Why identity stood out to the judges

Les-leigh A, Content and Marketing Executive at TechRound, said AI is speeding up attacks and that many entries tackled AI-related risk. They named Incode among the companies that "stood out in terms of identity and AI governance."

Aler Rab, Deputy CEO at Cloudzy, said the best submissions focused on practical challenges, in areas that ranged from cloud visibility and ransomware recovery to identity protection and emerging AI agent risks.

What TechRound highlighted about Incode

As TechRound's profile notes, Ricardo Amper founded Incode in San Francisco in 2015 to make digital identity secure without sacrificing privacy or adding friction. Today, Incode has completed more than 7.1 billion trust checks and works with eight of the top 10 US banks. Gartner named Incode a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification, the third consecutive year.

Why identity is now central to cybersecurity

As TechRound's profile of Incode notes, identity fraud has evolved from individual attacks into coordinated operations that span multiple organizations. Generative AI and autonomous agents now help fraudsters create synthetic identities, manipulate documents, and launch attacks at scale.

Incode's AI-Powered Identity Platform helps organizations verify users, prevent fraud, and protect personal data in every digital interaction. In October 2026, Incode launched TrustGraph, a privacy-preserving trust network that helps institutions detect repeat and AI-driven fraud without exposing customer records. TrustGraph is built on one idea: "Network intelligence, not network data." In early access, TrustGraph helped institutions detect up to 53% more fraud than their existing models alone.
