Industry accolade highlights Cyabra’s technical innovation, commercial momentum, and market leadership in protecting organizations against AI-driven manipulation and narrative threats

New York, NY, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cyabra, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYAB) (“Cyabra” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered platform that helps governments and enterprises detect coordinated manipulation and protect digital trust, today announced it has been recognized as the AI-powered Enterprise Solution of the Year by the 2026 Tech Ascension Awards.

“The pace of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation is extraordinary, but Cyabra distinguished itself by turning technical innovation into practical value,” said David Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of the Tech Ascension Awards. “Cyabra addresses meaningful industry challenges with a differentiated approach and demonstrated business impact. It represents the kind of purposeful innovation that is shaping the future of AI.”

The 2026 Tech Ascension Awards attracted an unprecedented number of submissions from companies competing across enterprise AI, agentic automation and small-business technology categories. This record participation reflects the rapid growth of the AI industry and the accelerating pace at which organizations are bringing advanced capabilities to market.

“We view being named AI-powered Enterprise Solution of the Year by the Tech Ascension Awards as validation of our team’s commitment to turning complex AI technology into a vital defense capability for global organizations,” said Dan Brahmy, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cyabra. “As generative AI makes digital manipulation faster, cheaper, and harder to spot, enterprise and public sector leaders need decision-grade intelligence to safeguard trust. We believe this recognition reflects our ongoing momentum as we scale our platform to protect the world’s leading brands and sovereign entities.”

This achievement builds on Cyabra’s recent recognition as a Market Shaper in the inaugural June 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence – Startup Vendors, in which Gartner, Inc. formally defined and assessed the narrative intelligence market for the first time¹.

Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding unusual market action or the conditions accounting for it.

The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect” “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties. The information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication.
