SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 14, 2019 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Exabeam, the Smarter SIEM™ company, has ranked No. 3 in security and No. 134 overall on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
Since its founding in 2013, Exabeam has raced to the top of the security information and event management (SIEM) market, taking out legacy incumbents along the way by doing SIEM the smarter way. The machine learning-based Exabeam Security Management Platform (SMP) uses data science to identify employees’ behavioral patterns and abnormalities that may be indicative of security threats, in contrast to outdated signature-based detection methods. Exabeam completes the data protection lifecycle by automating the response process to drastically reduce time to investigate and contain threats by 51 percent.
“Our No. 1 goal has always been to systematically disrupt the SIEM space and become the next market leader. Appearing on the Inc. 5000 list for a second year in a row is a testament that we are accomplishing our mission,” said Nir Polak, CEO, Exabeam. “Since first appearing on the list last year, we completed a $75 million Series E funding round, expanded by opening a new office in Atlanta and acquired our first company, SkyFormation, to build out our cloud strategy. It is an honor to be recognized alongside and excel against fellow businesses in the industry, and we look forward to more growth and success in the upcoming months.”
Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands Aug. 20) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.
“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” said Inc. Editor in Chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held Oct. 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
