DENVER – March 10, 2026 – Swimlane, the leader in agentic AI automation for every security function, today announced it has been named a 2026 CSO Award winner by Foundry’s CSO for its Automated SaaS Compliance Audit Readiness solution. The award recognizes Swimlane’s innovative use of technology to streamline compliance workflows, reduce audit preparation time, and strengthen security posture, all while enabling organizations to maintain their customers’ trust. 

“We are truly honored to be recognized with a 2026 CSO Award, and we extend our sincere gratitude to Valence for their nomination,” said Cody Cornell, Co-Founder and CEO of Swimlane. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our team and our shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of what agentic AI can do for security operations. Being acknowledged by Foundry’s CSO reinforces that our solution is making a real impact for organizations navigating today’s complex compliance landscape.”

The CSO Award adds to a growing list of industry validations that affirm Swimlane’s approach to building AI that is powerful, trustworthy, and transparent at enterprise scale.

As a CISO, I’m proud that we’ve built a solution that doesn’t just check boxes, but genuinely reduces risk and empowers security teams to operate at a higher level.”
