How Flare Scaled Identity-First CTI: Technology Fast 50 2026

Flare recognized among Canada's 50 fastest-growing technology companies for 2026.

Security leaders face a growing wave of AI-powered attacks fueled by leaked credentials, stealer logs and underground marketplaces. Choosing a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) vendor with proven, sustained growth matters because it signals product maturity, R&D investment and the ability to keep pace with attacker tradecraft. Flare, the identity-first CTI platform, has just been ranked #28 on the 2026 Technology Fast 50 program, highlighting four consecutive years of strong revenue growth. Softprom is the official distributor of Flare.

What was announced

On October 28, 2026, Flare announced its inclusion in the 2026 Technology Fast 50 awards program, ranked #28 among Canada's fastest-growing technology companies. The program ranks companies by revenue-growth percentage over four years. This year's theme, Growth Built to Last, recognizes organizations demonstrating resilience and long-term impact in Canada's technology sector.

Our mission is to find the one threat that matters, find it first, and fix it before it becomes a breach. Today, that threat is identity exposure, both human and non-human

Why this matters

For CISOs, CIOs and procurement leaders, Technology Fast 50 recognition is an independent indicator of a vendor's financial health and R&D commitment. Qualifying companies must have been in business at least four years, report minimum revenue of USD 50,000 in 2022 and USD 5 million in 2025, be headquartered in Canada, own proprietary technology and invest at least 5% of gross revenue in Canadian R&D. For buyers evaluating identity-first CTI, this reduces vendor-continuity risk and supports multi-year contracting.
