Redefining SaaS Resilience
Keepit Awarded the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Accolade for Cloud Security Excellence
Executive Summary: Copenhagen-based data protection innovator Keepit has been named a category winner in the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards. Judged by an independent panel of industry experts, the recognition honors Keepit’s cloud-native, vendor-independent backup architecture for delivering measurable, accountable data resilience in an era dominated by sophisticated automated threats.
The Last Line of Defense in the AI Era
As cyber threat vectors increase in frequency and intelligence, the operational standard for digital defense has evolved beyond basic perimeter security. True corporate resilience is now measured by an organization’s capacity to preserve, control, and rapidly restore its critical cloud infrastructure when primary tools fail.
“The ability to reliably back up and recover critical data is every company’s last line of defense in the age of AI. Keepit’s cloud-native and independent platform ensures organizations retain access – and control – of their data, no matter what.”
— Michele Hayes, Chief Marketing Officer, Keepit
Engineering True Data Sovereignty
A primary risk within standard corporate cloud ecosystems is the reliance on a few dominant hyperscale providers. Keepit mitigates this single-point-of-failure vulnerability by operating an independent, dedicated cloud storage framework completely detached from legacy infrastructure ecosystems.
- Broad SaaS Coverage: The platform provides native, comprehensive data protection across 16 major enterprise SaaS applications, with aggressive portfolio expansion extending throughout 2026.
- Immutable Isolation: By executing immutable backup schemas inside a separate cloud architecture, organizations retain absolute custody of their business records.
- Zero Third-Party Sub-Processors: Eliminating intermediary sub-processors ensures strict compliance with local regulatory frameworks and strips ransomware actors of systemic leverage.
- Continuous Business Continuity: The platform guarantees uninterrupted data access and rapid disaster recovery through human mistakes, massive vendor outages, or targeted extortion attempts.
Objective Merit Over Popularity
Unlike standard market popularity contests, the Fortress Cybersecurity Awards utilize a transparent, metrics-driven scoring methodology to identify real-world protective performance. Progress is evaluated not by technology novelty, but by concrete operational impact.
| Evaluation Axis | Award Program Focus | Keepit Architectural Alignment |
|---|---|---|
| Measurable Protection | Identifying defenses that provide verified risk mitigation. | Immutable data retention paths that stand up to systemic cloud outages and encryption attacks. |
| Proactive Execution | Honoring platforms that move beyond reactive security measures. | Continuous, automated background backup loops keeping data audit-ready. |
| Accountable Sovereignty | Ensuring businesses retain true ownership of their information assets. | A dedicated, vendor-neutral infrastructure stack operating outside hyperscaler boundaries. |
From the Judges: “2026 is about getting ahead of the attacker — execution, accountability, and measurable resilience. Keepit stood out because its work in backup and recovery reflects where the market is headed: practical cybersecurity that solves real problems, earns trust, and protects the people and assets that depend on it.”
— Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group
