London, UK — January 5, 2026 — Fortyx has been selected to participate in the 2026 CrowdStrike, AWS & NVIDIA Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator, a premier programme designed to support and scale the next generation of cybersecurity companies.
The elite eight-week programme runs from January 5 through March 3, 2026, connecting early-stage startups with hands-on mentorship, technical enablement, funding and go-to-market support from leaders across CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA. As part of the accelerator, participants receive guidance on cloud architecture, AI and agentic system development, and cybersecurity best practices, along with access to top cybersecurity experts and global visibility across partner ecosystems.
"We're honored to be selected for the 2026 Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator. This program gives us unique access to mentorship, technical resources and industry leaders that will accelerate our mission to protect people and organisations from cyber threats using a human-first approach. We look forward to collaborating with CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA to advance our technology and scale globally."
Participation in the accelerator builds on the expanded global format of the programme, which empowers innovators from around the world to accelerate AI-driven cloud security solutions and connect with top cybersecurity investors and technical experts. Alumni of earlier cohorts have collectively raised significant funding, increased their collective valuations by billions, and achieved notable acquisitions, underscoring the programme's impact on its participants and the future of cybersecurity.
Demo Day at RSA Conference
The programme will culminate in an in-person Demo Day at the AWS Startup Loft in San Francisco on March 24, 2026, coinciding with the RSA Conference, where an expert panel will select an innovation award winner with potential for investment from the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund.
Why Fortyx Was Selected
Fortyx was selected for the accelerator on the strength of its next-generation approach to data loss prevention. Traditional DLP solutions rely on rigid, rule-based pattern matching that generates excessive false positives and fails to account for the context and intent behind data movement. Fortyx is building AI-powered DLP that understands the meaning, sensitivity, and business context of data in real time — across outbound email, inbound threats, and endpoint activity.
By combining advanced natural language understanding with real-time identity intelligence, Fortyx can detect genuine data exfiltration, insider risk, and compliance violations with significantly greater accuracy than legacy approaches. This positions Fortyx at the forefront of the industry's shift toward intelligent, adaptive data protection.
