Brinqa has spent more than a decade helping large organizations manage security risks. In 2025, its new bookings grew 164%, and the company was included in Gartner’s first Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms. Growth continued in 2026, with new bookings more than doubling as customers expanded their use of Brinqa’s platform and AI features.

The PlexTrac acquisition adds an important capability: proving that security fixes actually work. It also lets customers use trusted security data with the AI tools they already use.

For Brinqa customers, this means faster proof that security fixes work, with evidence they can share with auditors, insurers, and company leaders. A closed ticket shows a status; retesting confirms the fix actually worked.

For PlexTrac customers, pentest teams can now work directly within a CTEM program. Brinqa helps prioritize the most important risks and validates both whether a vulnerability can be exploited and whether the fix continues to hold.

“PlexTrac was built by offensive security practitioners, for offensive security practitioners, and that's not changing. Joining Brinqa gives our team a bigger platform to prove that hands-on offensive security expertise still matters, even as more of this work gets automated,” said DeCloss.

“We've spent over a decade building the platform enterprise security teams trust to prioritize what to fix first,” said Dan Pagel, CEO at Brinqa. “PlexTrac brings real offensive security depth, from practitioners who have spent years proving exactly how attackers get in.
