This award highlights breakthrough technologies that are driving real progress in transforming how consumers, businesses, and society operate.
BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND & NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — iVerify, a leader in advanced mobile endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, revealed today that it has been selected for Fast Company’s Next Big Thing In Tech, a yearly ranking that honors cutting-edge technologies poised to reshape industries and influence the future.
This acknowledgment arrives amid a surge in mobile threats, such as the spread of spyware and exploit development accelerated by artificial intelligence, which have fueled widespread vishing and smishing campaigns resulting in billions of dollars in losses for global businesses. Years of investing in traditional endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and network security have left smartphones as the most vulnerable devices, even though they provide access to corporate apps, data, and vast amounts of personal information. This gap has shifted attackers’ attention toward mobile platforms.
As the sole commercial entity capable of detecting sophisticated threats on iOS devices, iVerify has played a key role in raising awareness about the mobile threat landscape. Its research team uncovered three distinct advanced spyware operations affecting hundreds of millions of iPhone users worldwide, with two of them—Coruna and DarkSword—still active as of this announcement. As mobile devices become even more widespread, iVerify is positioned to address this growing challenge.
“When iVerify was spun out from Trail of Bits in 2023, our hypothesis was that mobile would become the primary target for malicious actors,” stated Dr. Danny Rogers, CEO and co-founder of iVerify. “The market lacked a feasible, scalable solution, especially for iOS, that could identify or stop the range of threats we expected, from advanced spyware to social engineering. Our prediction proved accurate; the sector expanded rapidly, and three years later, mobile devices are now a main driver of cybercrime, costing businesses $1.5 trillion each year. We are proud that our work in cybersecurity has been recognized with such a prestigious award.”
