DefenseStorm, a leading cloud-based provider of cyber security, fraud and compliance technology and managed services to banks, credit unions and fintechs, has been named a 2022 Pacesetter Award winner by the Atlanta Business Chronicle for the third consecutive year.

The Pacesetter Awards recognize 100 companies that have achieved the highest levels of growth in Atlanta each year. Some qualifications include headquarters in Atlanta, 2021 revenue between $1 million and $300 million, and two-year growth in sales of more than 50%.

With Atlanta ranked as the No. 1 tech hub in the U.S. and the No. 4 city for cyber technology, DefenseStorm outpaced steep competition by delivering an impressive 110.74% growth rate in 2021 to be the only provider of cyber security, compliance and fraud solutions on the list.

“It’s quite an accomplishment when you consider that more than 120 cybersecurity companies call Georgia home, generating almost one-fourth of the global security market’s total revenue,” said Steve Soukup, CEO of DefenseStorm.

“This award attests to the meaningful 'built for banking' difference we make in protecting financial institutions and fintechs from all forms of cyber threats. Winning three years in a row is a testament to our ongoing and significant advances in technology and outcomes. This is only possible because of the incredible team at DefenseStorm.”
