SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cequence Security, a pioneer in application and API security, today announced it ranked 128 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 31st year. Cequence grew 652% between 2021 and 2024 and advanced significantly from its 2024 ranking of 307.
“Earning a spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for the second year in a row reflects Cequence’s relentless focus on innovation and excellence,” said Ameya Talwalkar, CEO at Cequence. “Our growth continues to be fueled by a powerful combination of cutting-edge technology, trusted partnerships, and a deep commitment to protecting and enabling our customers in an increasingly automated and AI-driven world.”
“This year’s rankings highlight both enduring leadership and breakthrough momentum,” said Wolfe Tone, US Deloitte Private & Emerging Client Portfolio leader and partner, Deloitte Tax LLP. “More than half of the winners are prior honorees, yet the majority of the top ten are first-time entrants — demonstrating the staying power of established leaders alongside the accelerating growth of new innovators across key sectors. As in previous years, private companies continue to dominate, underscoring the agility that private enterprises bring to competitive markets, enabling the exceptional triple and quadruple digit growth reflected in these rankings.”
