Pittsburgh, PA, October 7, 2026:
RedHelm has earned a spot on CRN’s 2026 Triple Crown list, one of the most selective honors in the technology channel. The recognition places RedHelm among a select group of solution providers in North America that qualified for all three of CRN’s major rankings in the same year.
CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, publishes several solution provider rankings over the course of each year. Earning a place on all three in a single year is what defines a Triple Crown winner. The three lists are:
To appear on all three lists in the same year, a company must grow quickly, operate at real scale, and prove its technical skill through certifications vendors don't hand out easily. Those three things tend to pull against each other. Fast growth can strain delivery quality. Deep certification work takes time and focus. Doing all of it together, and doing it well, is the hard part.
The channel has had a complicated year. According to CRN, solution providers have spent the past year balancing growth against an uncertain and quickly changing IT market, with the rise of AI creating both new demand and new pressure on how these companies operate.
That pressure is showing up in budgets. According to Gartner, worldwide spending on information security is expected to reach $244 billion in 2026, an increase of about 11.6% over the year before, as organizations respond to rising threats and tighter regulations. More companies want security built into how their technology runs, not added on after something goes wrong.
That demand is what RedHelm was built to meet. The company brings offensive security, defensive security, and managed IT together under one model, with security designed into every layer instead of bolted on later. If an incident hits, one accountable team owns the response from detection through recovery, with no handoffs between separate vendors.
Taken together, these recognitions point to the same thing: steady, sustained performance rather than a single strong quarter. That consistency is the product of a clear approach to security-first technology management, held to the same standard across every client account.
If you want to see how a security-first model could support your own organization, book a conversation with the RedHelm team to walk through what it would look like for your environment.
