Qevlar AI has been named to the Sifted AI 100 for 2026, a ranking recognizing Europe's most promising AI-native startups. Selected from an initial pool of 1,500 companies, Qevlar AI ranks 72nd, highlighting its growing momentum in transforming security operations through autonomous AI.
Published by Sifted, the AI 100 identifies European startups demonstrating strong growth potential, competitive differentiation, and market momentum.
To establish the 2026 ranking, Sifted evaluated 1,500 eligible AI-native companies, considering factors including fundraising, investor strength, and team growth. A shortlist of 175 companies was then assessed on market opportunity, competitive differentiation, and momentum, resulting in the final selection of 100 companies.
Qevlar AI's inclusion reflects its progress in bringing autonomous AI capabilities into real-world security operations, where organizations increasingly need to investigate threats at scale while maintaining visibility and control.
The recognition comes at a pivotal moment for the cybersecurity industry. AI is moving beyond experimentation and becoming an integral part of how security operations centers (SOCs) investigate threats, manage vulnerabilities, and respond to emerging risks.
For security teams, the challenge is about deploying solutions that deliver reliable results, integrate with existing workflows, and operate within clearly defined boundaries.
Qevlar AI addresses this challenge through an autonomous AI SOC platform designed to support security teams throughout their investigation workflows.
By combining organizational context with automated investigation capabilities, Qevlar AI enables customers to investigate security alerts, continuously monitor vulnerabilities that cannot yet be remediated, and take action within predefined permissions. Every investigation is supported by evidence, helping teams understand the findings and make informed decisions.
Being recognized among Europe's 100 most promising AI startups marks another milestone in Qevlar AI's journey to transform security operations.
The recognition also reflects the contributions of the team developing the platform, the customers deploying Qevlar AI within their SOCs, and the partners supporting its continued growth.
As AI adoption accelerates across the cybersecurity industry, Qevlar AI remains focused on delivering autonomous capabilities that help security teams investigate more effectively, act with confidence, and stay ahead of evolving threats.
