CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fast Company today announced its eighth annual Best Workplaces for Innovators list, recognizing businesses that are creating cultures where innovation can thrive at every level. ReversingLabs earned a spot at No. 49 for its commitment to free-flowing innovation exploration and listening that has ultimately fueled the company's position as a leader in software supply chain security.
The 2026 Best Workplaces for Innovators list recognizes 100 companies across industries such as entertainment, biotech, consumer packaged goods, marketing, education, and healthcare. To be considered, applicants detailed their investment in innovation, internal programs, and company culture. Fast Company’s editors evaluated each application and conducted extensive research to develop a score for each company. A distinguished panel of judges then reviewed the top-rated companies to determine the final honorees.
“This recognition reflects a core belief at ReversingLabs: innovation happens when talented people are given the trust, freedom, and support to explore new ideas, challenge assumptions, and turn their curiosity into meaningful impact,” said Kathleen DeShields, SVP of Human Resources at ReversingLabs. “We’ve built a culture where curiosity is valued, collaboration comes naturally, and people are empowered to pursue better ways of solving hard problems. Being named to this list is a reflection of our people and the environment we’ve created for them to do their best and most innovative work.”
That culture of exploration and employee-driven innovation has helped ReversingLabs take on some of cybersecurity’s most complex challenges. Over time, the company has built a continuously expanding corpus of software and threat intelligence, informed by deep analysis of hundreds of billions of files. That shared intelligence foundation helps organizations secure the software they build and deploy, detect and investigate threats, assess third-party risk, and give security teams and AI-driven systems the context they need to make faster, more confident decisions.
ReversingLabs’ commitment to employee-driven innovation has helped shape both its growth and its position in the cybersecurity market. The company was recently named a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security, reflecting its continued work to address emerging and increasingly complex security challenges. That same culture has also helped ReversingLabs maintain an 85% employee retention rate, underscoring the strength of an environment where people are encouraged to contribute, grow, and help shape what comes next.
“The most innovative workplaces don’t simply ask their employees to come up with great ideas; they create the conditions that make great ideas possible,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “This year’s honorees understand that innovation is ultimately a cultural commitment that requires empowering people to think differently, take risks, and turn ideas into actions. We’re proud to recognize the companies and executives who are leading by example.”

The Fast Company Best Workplaces for Innovators issue (Fall 2026) is available online now and will hit newsstands on September 22.
