Company recognized as Market Disruptor Security Investigation Platform and Most Promising Secure Enclaves
SAN FRANCISCO, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Most security teams have worked around the same problem for years: the highest-stakes work still happens in the least controlled environments. An analyst pivoting through criminal infrastructure on a personal laptop. Malware analysis running in a lab VM. A new AI tool being tested against real case data with no governance. Replica Cyber was built to give that work a proper home, and today the industry is taking notice.
Replica Cyber awarded at RSAC as a Market Disrupting Security Investigation Platform and Provider of Secure Enclaves.
Replica Cyber , the secure environments platform for high-stakes work, has been named a double winner in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards, recognized as Market Disruptor – Security Investigation Platform and Most Promising – Secure Enclaves . The awards are presented annually at RSAC, the largest and most influential cybersecurity conference in the world.
Replica will be on site during RSAC week in San Francisco. On Monday, March 23, the team will participate in the Cyber Startup Expo at Convene 100 Stockton. On Tuesday, March 24, Replica will host a Partners Day at the Marriott Marquis.
“The work security teams need to do has outpaced the environments they have to do it in. Investigations, AI experimentation, fraud analysis, these are high-stakes operations that deserve purpose-built infrastructure, not workarounds. That is the precise problem Replica solves, and it is gratifying to see that recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine.”
— Kristopher Schroeder, Founder and CEO, Replica Cyber
Market Disruptor — Security Investigation Platform
Security investigation is among the highest stakes work any organization runs, and for most teams it happens in environments that were never designed for it. Replica provides fully isolated workspaces where analysts can detonate malware, pivot across criminal infrastructure and dark web markets, run OSINT and closed-source tools at scale, and test new GenAI workflows against real case data, all off the corporate network, under full logging and policy control. Investigation environments are templated for specific workflows including ransomware cases, business email compromise, and dark web fraud operations, and can be stood up in minutes with the right tools and protections already in place. Security leaders get complete visibility and evidence chains without slowing analysts down.
Most Promising — Secure Enclaves
Replica takes the secure enclave from architectural concept to operational practice. Rather than a one-off hardened server or a network segment only a handful of people can access, Replica gives organizations on-demand, repeatable, mission-tailored environments, each isolated from corporate networks and unmanaged devices, each designed around zero-trust, least-privilege, and evidence-ready principles. A dark web research enclave looks different from an AI experimentation workspace or an M&A due diligence environment, but all of them follow the same governance model: centralized policy, full logging, and audit-ready chain of custody. High-stakes work finally has a home that meets the bar security requires and moves at the speed the business demands.
“Replica Cyber identified a gap that most of the industry had accepted as a cost of doing business — that the riskiest security work has nowhere safe to happen. Their approach to governed, isolated environments for investigation and high-stakes operations addresses one of the most persistent blind spots in enterprise security. That is exactly the kind of thinking our Global InfoSec Awards exist to recognize.”
— Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher, Cyber Defense Magazine
