Los Angeles, CA – July 7, 2026 – XeneX SOC, an AI-Native Managed SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS) provider, today announced it has been named a finalist in the AI-Powered SOC-as-a-Service category of the GTIA 2026 Innovate Awards.
Presented by the Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA), the Innovate Awards recognize organizations delivering measurable business outcomes through innovative artificial intelligence solutions. Winners will be announced at GTIA ChannelCon 2026 in San Diego.
XeneX SOC was selected for its AI-Native approach to security operations, combining intelligent automation with expert-led cybersecurity monitoring and response. The platform helps organizations accelerate threat detection, reduce alert fatigue, and strengthen cyber resilience while simplifying security operations.
“Being named a GTIA Innovate Awards finalist validates our vision for the future of security operations,” said Kevin Nikkhoo, Chief Executive Officer of XeneX SOC. “AI should deliver measurable security outcomes, not simply automate existing processes. Our platform helps customers reduce alert noise by as much as 10X, achieve faster threat response, and maintain a record of zero client breaches for more than 13 years. We are honored to be recognized alongside some of the industry’s most innovative organizations.”
Today, XeneX SOC monitors and correlates security telemetry across more than 700 integrated data sources spanning cloud, endpoint, identity, email, and network environments. Organizations can typically be onboarded in as little as four hours and benefit from a one-hour SLA for critical security incidents, helping security teams improve visibility and respond more effectively to emerging threats.
“The Innovate Awards showcase organizations that are transforming how technology is used to solve real business challenges,” said Kelly Ricker, Chief Operating Officer of GTIA. “These finalists demonstrate the innovation, creativity, and measurable impact that are driving the future of the IT channel.”
“As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations need a smarter, more proactive approach to security operations,” added Nikkhoo. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our team, the trust of our customers, and our commitment to delivering AI-powered security outcomes that help organizations reduce risk and operate with confidence.”
