Arkose Labs, the leader in agent trust, today announced it has once again been named to Inc. Magazine’s prestigious 2026 Inc. 5000 List of America’s fastest-growing companies. This marks the company’s fifth appearance on the annual ranking, driven by three-year revenue growth. Arkose Labs’ customer base includes Anthropic, Microsoft, Meta and Roblox, plus other Fortune 500 leaders in financial services, online dating, travel and gaming.

“Arkose Labs’ inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list for five years is indicative of our ability to meet the changing threats facing top business-to-consumer companies around the globe,” said Frank Teruel, Chief Operating Officer of Arkose Labs. “As agentic AI escalates automated fraud at a scale and sophistication never seen before, we continue to help our customers meet the challenge and prepare for future threats.”

The company’s founder and CEO Kevin Gosschalk, a recognized expert on agentic AI, recently published a book on its growing threat called After Bots. Built on 10 years of hands-on experience, After Bots is the definitive playbook for what comes next in trusting and controlling AI agents. It provides actionable guidance on how to welcome authorized agents and the revenue they represent while shutting out the malicious ones.

“Arkose Labs has seen agentic traffic increase 1,100% from Q1 to Q2, and we expect agentic commerce to really skyrocket during the coming holiday season,” said Kevin Gosschalk, founder and CEO of Arkose Labs. “Arkose Agent Trust Manager will help our customers truly embrace this opportunity while keeping malicious activity at bay.”

A critical addition to its Arkose Titan™ platform, Arkose Agent Trust Manager recognizes whether agentic traffic represents a customer, an authorized agent or an adversary to determine whether they should be trusted, challenged or stopped. Arkose Agent Trust Manager runs on top of the device intelligence, behavioral biometrics and adaptive challenge telemetry already embedded in Arkose Titan.

Arkose Labs’ overall customer base includes:

  • 2 of the top 4 traditional banks by assets, securing the financial transactions of 250+ million end users worldwide

  • 2 of the 4 largest social media platforms, including Meta, serving 4+ billion accounts across the globe
