New York, NY, July 15, 2026 – Terra Security, the leading AI-native Offensive Security platform, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has selected Terra Security as a 2026 CRN Tech Innovator Awards finalist for its Terra Platform™ in the Security category.
These annual CRN awards spotlight innovative technology vendors in the IT channel. The finalists were selected in 30 distinct technology categories across areas such as cloud, storage, networking, and security by a panel of CRN editors after closely reviewing hundreds of vendor entries and solution provider testimonials. They select finalists based on multiple criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner technology needs.
Terra Security pairs a swarm of hundreds of specialized AI agents with a Human-on-the-Loop to continuously validate real, exploitable risk and close the loop from discovery to fix. Terra Platform tests web applications, APIs, AI systems (including LLMs, MCP servers, and AI agents), and network infrastructure, automatically triggering new tests as code changes and delivering compliance-ready, human-signed reports. At the center of that workflow is Terra Offensive Research Collaboration Hub (TORCH), the workstation where human pentesters and AI agents collaborate in real time. Terra recently extended its platform with new HackerOne and Bugcrowd integrations that bring bug bounty reports into that same continuous-validation workflow, plus new Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI) and Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) options that let enterprises control which model and infrastructure power their testing.
“The 2026 CRN Tech Innovator Awards finalists represent the most forward-thinking offerings shaping the future of the IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “Each finalist brings a clear vision to market, addressing real-world challenges while delivering measurable value to partners and customers alike. We congratulate this year’s finalists on their commitment to innovation, partner success and meaningful impact across the technology ecosystem.”
"Being named a CRN Tech Innovator finalist alongside some of the largest names in cybersecurity is a huge moment for us," said Shahar Peled, Co-Founder and CEO of Terra Security. "We set out to prove that Offensive Security could finally move at the speed of modern software development and AI-powered adversaries, and this recognition shows we're on the right track. Thank you to CRN for seeing that - and to our team and customers for helping us build something this strong, this fast."
2026 Tech Innovator Awards finalists will be spotlighted online at crn.com/techinnovators starting July 13. Winners will be announced online on Aug. 5.
