ZEST Security Selected to TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 Battlefield 200
We’re proud to announce that ZEST Security has been named one of the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 Startup Battlefield 200 a global showcase of the most promising AI-powered startups shaping the future of technology.
A Rare and Elite Recognition
Being selected for Battlefield 200 is extremely difficult. Thousands of startups apply each year, and only 200 are chosen across all industries.
Out of those, only five cybersecurity companies made the cut and ZEST is one of them.
Even more notably, this year’s Battlefield 200 highlights the most innovative AI-native companies, making our selection a recognition not only of our security vision but of our AI-first approach to exposure management.
Why this matters for ZEST:
- Elite recognition: Placing ZEST among the top 1% of applicants worldwide.
- Cybersecurity spotlight: One of only 5 security startups on the list, showcasing the importance of AI-driven exposure management.
- Growth momentum: Boosts visibility, credibility, and traction with customers, partners, and investors.
The Industry is Shifting Our Way
Our preemptive, AI-native approach to security is no longer just bold talk it’s being embraced by customers, analysts, and now, one of the world’s most selective startup stages. ZEST is not just participating in the conversation we’re leading it.
ZEST Security earned its place as a Battlefield 200 finalist because of its groundbreaking technology and visionary approach to cybersecurity.
For over 20 years, vulnerability management has focused primarily on visibility providing awareness of risks but doing little to actually reduce them. ZEST flips that paradigm on its head. By leveraging AI to drive agentic remediation, our platform not only identifies exposures but takes intelligent, automated actions to reduce the attack surface, closing gaps before they can be exploited. This shift from passive visibility to proactive, preemptive security represents a fundamental transformation in the industry, and it’s precisely this innovation that makes ZEST a standout finalist on the global stage.
