Portal26 continues to achieve major commercial and ecosystem milestones, including new enterprise wins and deep partnerships across security providers, systems integrators, resellers, and hyperscalers. The company reports a rapidly expanding customer base with multi-year, seven-figure commitments, momentum that underscores market confidence in its platform performance today and its ability to scale capabilities in step with the accelerating AI landscape.

Raman highlighted that in just two years, Portal26 has grown into a comprehensive platform for enterprise GenAI adoption, offering real-time ShadowAI detection, security and policy enforcement, forensic audit, risk and cost analytics, and employee enablement. It provides organizations with a unified layer to monitor, govern, and optimize GenAI use across the business.
