Nucleus Security Named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces List

Nucleus Security, the leader in unified vulnerability and exposure management, today announced it has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list and recognized in the Security industry category. The list, available at Inc.com, honors American companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses, whether in-person, remote, or hybrid.

The award is the result of a comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants. The process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace that covered critical elements, including management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score.

“The best part of building Nucleus is watching our team move fast, stay committed to the mission, and see the impact of their work inside our customers’ environments. They’re passionate about solving hard problems, and they get to do real work that matters. It’s inspiring, and we’re building the kind of place you hope to work at least once in your career. This recognition is theirs,” said Steve Carter, CEO, Nucleus Security.

Nucleus is defining the Unified Exposure Management category, delivering an orchestration platform that operationalizes context, adapts to each enterprise, and closes the gap between data and action. Nucleus integrates security and asset data from more than 200 tools, business context, and AI-driven exploit intelligence into a shared, up-to-date view of exposure to drive prioritized action and measurable risk reduction across the organization.

“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture–it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”
