Inc. Names Elisity to Its 2026 List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Pacific

Companies on the Inc. Regionals: Pacific list had a median growth rate of 94 percent.

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today revealed that Elisity has been ranked No. three on its sixth annual Inc. Regionals: Pacific list – the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Pacific. The region includes California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska.

An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals list offers a data-driven look at the independent small businesses driving growth across the Pacific economy. Companies on this year's list demonstrate exceptional revenue expansion, resilience, and job creation during a challenging economic period.

"Being recognized on the Inc. Regionals list marks a momentous milestone for us and reflects our commitment to deliver proven solutions for today's most critical security challenges," said James Winebrenner, CEO, Elisity. "Our vision is to redefine security and access by untangling security from underlying network constructs. This recognition validates that we are delivering on that promise by fundamentally changing the timeline for enterprise security. We are building the platform that enables our customers to leverage identity-based microsegmentation so that they can accelerate their true Zero Trust journey and improve their posture in weeks rather than years, protecting everything from IT and IoT to critical OT and hybrid environments."

Between 2022 and 2024, these 134 private companies had a median growth rate of 94 percent; by 2024, they'd also added 7,503 jobs and $2.5 billion to the region's economy.

Complete results of the Inc. Regionals: Pacific, including company profiles and an interactive database sortable by industry and metro area, will be available beginning March 31 at: https://www.inc.com/regionals/pacific.

"The honorees on this year's Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn't just persevere – they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions," said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

Founded in 2019, Elisity is a leap forward in network segmentation architecture, leading the enterprise effort to achieve Zero Trust maturity, proactively prevent security risks, and reduce network complexity. Designed to be implemented in weeks, without downtime, upon implementation, Elisity's AI platform rapidly discovers, classifies, and monitors users, workloads, and devices, ingesting metadata from sources like Active Discovery, CrowdStrike, and Armis to automate security policies and enhance switch compatibility, correlating comprehensive insights into the Elisity IdentityGraph™. As a result, security teams are empowered with deep context needed to automate classification and apply dynamic security policies to any device wherever and whenever it appears on the network. These granular, identity-based microsegmentation security policies are managed in the cloud and enforced using an organization's existing network infrastructure in real-time, even on ephemeral IT/IoT/OT devices.

Methodology
The Inc. Regionals lists are ranked according to percentage revenue growth over two years. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2024. (Since then, a number of companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2022 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
