NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Stream Security has accomplished what the rest of the cloud security industry has only talked about: it built the only platform that models the cloud as a living system in real time. While competitors rely on periodic scans, static posture snapshots, and post-alert enrichment, Stream pioneered an entirely new architectural category with its patent-pending CloudTwin technology that builds a continuously updated, stateful model of a customer’s entire cloud environment to unify identity, configuration, network reachability, runtime behavior, and data exposure into one live graph.

For SOC teams, the impact is transformative. Cloud security has historically been one of the hardest domains to act on, with analysts left manually reconstructing attack timelines, querying IAM histories, and piecing together blast radius across disconnected tools under time pressure. Stream eliminates that entirely. It is the first and only platform to deliver context natively inside every detection, so when an alert fires, it already carries the full blast radius, exploitability assessment, and safe containment guidance. Every analyst, regardless of cloud architecture expertise, receives an immediately actionable picture of what changed, who changed it, what it enabled, and what to do next. Stream closes the skills gap that has long made cloud incidents the most dangerous for operations teams to handle.

The results speak for themselves. Stream achieved 280% year-over-year revenue growth from 2024 to 2025. Enterprises with mature in-house SOC teams are actively choosing Stream over legacy platforms because it solves the problem every other tool forces teams to work around: the gap between cloud speed and SOC readiness.

Stream’s portfolio spans CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, KSPM, CDR, ADR, and AI Infrastructure Security, all operating from the same CloudTwin state model and extending across SaaS platforms including Okta, GitHub, Snowflake, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, and more. No other vendor has unified this breadth of signal under a single real-time contextual architecture and fed it directly into SOC workflows with this level of fidelity.

Looking ahead, Stream is leading the industry into its next evolution with a fully agentic AI security workforce built on verified cloud state. Autonomous triage, investigation, and response orchestration agents that reason and act safely because they operate from a trusted, real-time model of the cloud. This is the future of SecOps, and Stream is the only company building it on a foundation strong enough to support it.
