Bulletproof Lands on CRN's Fast Growth 150
The Fredericton managed-security firm joins CRN's 2026 Fast Growth list after earlier MSP 500 and Solution Provider 500 nods — another marker for the province's services side of tech.
By NB Tech News Staff · 2 min read
Bulletproof — the Fredericton managed IT and cybersecurity firm owned by Gaming Laboratories International — was named to CRN's 2026 Fast Growth 150 on August 5, a North American ranking of solution providers that posted strong sales growth over the previous two years.
The Channel Company list covers MSPs, integrators, VARs, and IT consultants. It is not a venture scorecard. For New Brunswick, that is the point: the services companies that keep hospitals, municipalities, and mid-market shops running rarely show up in funding roundups, but they are a large share of the provincial tech payroll.
A three-list year on CRN
Fast Growth is the third CRN placement Bulletproof has publicized in 2026. In February it returned to the MSP 500 Security MSP 100 for a second consecutive year. In June it landed on the Solution Provider 500, CRN's revenue ranking of North American solution providers.
President Guido Timmerman tied the Fast Growth nod to work on AI governance, compliance, and Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness — the same modernization stack the company has been pitching as customers move past basic cloud migrations into secured AI tooling. CRN publishes the full Fast Growth 150 roster on its site.
Fredericton's quieter cyber employers
Bulletproof sits in the same Fredericton cybersecurity cluster as product names like Sonrai and Beauceron, but its model is different: managed security, SOC monitoring, compliance programs, and Microsoft-centric professional services rather than a venture-backed product line.
That services layer is easy to skip when the news diet is NBIF rounds and demo days. It is also where a lot of New Brunswick tech employment actually lives — alongside firms like BrunNet that grew from regional IT shops into managed providers. A national channel ranking does not invent that story; it puts a dated marker on growth that was already underway.
