Invoke has won the Secure AI Productivity 2026 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award, a worldwide recognition for partners that help customers get real productivity from AI while protecting the data, identities and systems that AI touches. This year’s winners and finalists were selected from more than 4,500 nominations submitted worldwide.
Why this award matters to us
Every enterprise we talk to wants what AI promises, and every one of them asks the same question: is it safe? Our answer is to run security and AI innovation side by side, so neither waits on the other. Together with customers who trusted us with their most sensitive environments, we brought Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI agents and custom AI applications into daily work with data protection, identity controls and governance in place from day one.
In their words
“Enterprises want what AI promises, and they need to know it’s safe. Our answer is to run security and AI innovation side by side, so neither waits on the other. This recognition belongs to our customers, who trusted us with their most sensitive environments, and to our team, who prove every day that security and innovation aren’t a trade-off,” said Stephen Leuthold and Ryan Durbin, co-founders of Invoke.
“Congratulations to the winners and finalists of the 2026 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards,” said Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft. “This year’s honorees are harnessing the power of Microsoft Cloud and AI to deliver transformative solutions, accelerate customer success, and expand what’s possible. Their ingenuity and impact inspire us, demonstrating what can be achieved when bold vision and technology come together to empower organizations around the world.”
