OAK'S LAB named a 2026 Clutch Global winner in threat intelligence and network security

OAK'S LAB has been named a 2026 Clutch Global winner in two cybersecurity categories: Threat Intelligence Services, where it ranks No. 4 worldwide, and Network Security, where it ranks No. 8. Both are among the top 15 firms recognised globally in their category.

Clutch Global is the platform's highest level of recognition, reserved for the top 15 companies in each category worldwide. Winners are selected through Clutch's Ability to Deliver methodology, which weighs verified client feedback, industry expertise, and market presence. For us, the verified-client-review part is what matters: the recognition comes straight from the teams we build with, and it sits alongside our 5.0 out of 5.0 rating across over 30 Clutch reviews.
‍

The two categories are not incidental. Both sit at the centre of the work we do for high-growth cybersecurity companies, where the product only earns trust if the engineering behind it does. Ranking globally in threat intelligence and network security reflects the specific thing security teams come to us for: engineers who understand the threat model as well as the ticket, and who treat secure-by-design as a starting condition rather than a final gate.

‍

"Recognition that comes from verified client reviews is the only kind that matters," said Theo Dluhy-Smith, Executive Director and Co-Founder of OAK'S LAB. "Ranking among the top firms in the world for threat intelligence and network security reflects what the security teams we build with already know: a security product lives or dies on the quality of the engineering behind it. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every build."

‍

"The best IT and development partners do more than build software. They help businesses solve complex challenges, adapt to change, and create lasting value," said Mike Beares, Founder and CEO of Clutch. "This summer's Clutch Global winners have consistently delivered exceptional outcomes for their clients, earning recognition through proven expertise and trusted client relationships."

For a CTO choosing an engineering partner, an award is only ever a proxy. What it points to is a track record: 65+ products delivered, a four-year average partnership, and the top 0.4% of engineering talent applied to some of the hardest problems in cybersecurity. This recognition is in addition to us already being ranked #1 in the Czech Republic for Software Development.
