Arkose Labs earned a spot on Fast Company’s seventh annual Best Workplaces for Innovators list at No. 83 for its ability to attract and retain top talent by fostering a culture of innovation across all facets of the business.

The 2025 Best Workplaces for Innovators list ranks 100 winners across industries such as entertainment, biotech, consumer packaged goods, marketing, education and healthcare. To be considered, applicants detailed their investment in innovation, internal programs and company culture. Final selections were made by Fast Company ’s editors, who evaluated every application and conducted extensive research to generate a score for each company. A distinguished panel of judges then reviewed the top-rated companies.

"At Arkose Labs, innovation isn't just encouraged, it's essential to our mission of staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated threat actors,” said Arkose Labs Chief Operating Officer Frank Teruel. “We've built an environment where our teams can rapidly iterate on new security solutions, fail fast when needed and ultimately deliver breakthrough protection for the world's most trusted B2C brands.”

“And with the impending impact of agentic AI agents amplifying the AI revolution, our innovation is critical as these adversarial attacks on our customers fundamentally redefine cybersecurity,” Teruel continued. “With agentic AI already in market, and open-source agents around the corner, the fraud floodgates will open, and frankly, most enterprises are shockingly unprepared. This Fast Company recognition validates that our culture of relentless innovation is exactly what it takes to solve the increasingly sophisticated threats that are coming."

Arkose Labs continues to push the boundaries of cybersecurity innovation on its unified platform with game-changing product launches that address enterprise blind spots others can't solve. The company's breakthrough Arkose Edge solution secures the vulnerable API endpoints and digital perimeters that keep 71% of security professionals awake at night, while the revolutionary Arkose Device ID delivers dual-method device tracking that outsmarts even AI-powered attackers. These cutting-edge innovations cement Arkose Labs' position as the security partner of choice for industry titans like Microsoft, Adobe, Meta and leading global banks who demand protection that actually works.

"We don't hire for culture fit at Arkose Labs; we hire for culture add," said Arkose Labs Vice President of People Operations Justin Schiefner. "We seek independent thinkers who take ownership and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. The golden thread that weaves our global team together is a shared spirit of innovation and creating an environment where both success and failure in pursuit of breakthrough ideas are celebrated. When you bring together diverse perspectives and give people the psychological safety to take risks, innovation becomes inevitable. This recognition from Fast Company reflects what our team members experience every day: a workplace where their boldest ideas can flourish."

“Each year, we’re inspired by the companies and leaders who prove that innovation doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of intentional choices to empower people at every level,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The organizations on this year’s Best Workplaces for Innovators list show that when you build a culture where creativity and risk-taking are valued, breakthrough ideas inevitably follow.”
