AUSTIN, Texas – December 3, 2025 – SpyCloud, the leader in identity threat protection, is proud to announce its inclusion on the Inc. Best in Business list in the Best AI Implementation category. Inc.’s annual Best in Business Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and contributions of companies that have made a profound impact on their industries.
This award recognizes the new AI Insights feature launched in August 2025 in SpyCloud Investigations, a popular tool used by cyber threat intelligence and security operations teams across the public and private sector. AI Insights is based on more than a decade’s worth of tradecraft and methodologies developed by SpyCloud’s internal investigations team and adopted by hundreds of businesses globally, combined with SpyCloud’s proprietary IDLink™ technology that automates identity correlation across phishing, malware, and breach exposures. The result is accelerated answers to complex investigations into identity resolution, threat actor attribution, and insider threat detection – more vital for enterprises than ever in light of malicious campaigns like DPRK fraudulent IT worker schemes.
Inc.’s recognition honors companies that, through exceptional execution, have achieved significant milestones and core business wins, like customer expansion, key product launches, increased market share, and industry-defining accomplishments. Companies from a wide range of industries – such as technology, health care, finance, and retail – have been recognized for their success and their positive influence on the business world.
“To be recognized for our AI implementation a mere 90 days after launching AI Insights says so much about the innovation and expertise our team has brought to the AI space. We’ve embedded decades of investigative tradecraft into technology that enables any analyst – regardless of their experience level – to operate with the precision and intuition of a veteran investigator. That means security teams can scale their investigations without scaling headcount, which is critical when facing the volume and sophistication of modern cybercrime.”
“AI-powered insights fundamentally change how security teams disrupt cybercrime. Instead of spending hours manually connecting the dots across disparate data sources, our AI instantly surfaces the critical identity patterns and suspicious behaviors that indicate real threats. This speed advantage is crucial – the faster we can identify fraudulent insiders or compromised credentials, the faster we can shut down cybercriminals and their operations before they cause damage.”
Inc.’s Best in Business Awards are open to companies of all sizes and types, in all industries and locations. Public, private, nonprofit, subsidiary, U.S.-based, and international companies are all encouraged to apply. Inc. editors and reporters hand-review every application and select Best in Business honorees that, in each of the award categories, have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole. The full list can be found on Inc.com and in the upcoming winter print edition of Inc. magazine.
“Each Best in Business honoree achieved a breakthrough moment this year. Some unveiled groundbreaking innovations while others launched savvy marketing campaigns or strategically implemented AI in their companies. No matter what their business win looked like, their projects and initiatives had a sizable impact on their company and even on their industry at large, making them worthy of this honor.”
