Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Zenarmor's awards, how they are judged, and how to verify them.

What awards has Zenarmor won in 2026?

Zenarmor has earned ten industry recognitions in 2026. Five are outright wins: the 2026 SASE Product of the Year Award, the 2026 INTERNET TELEPHONY SD-WAN Product of the Year Award, the 2026 Q2 Product Awards (Cybersecurity category) by Products That Count, the 2026 MSP Today Product of the Year Award, and the 2025 TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Award. Two are runner-up recognitions from the 2026 Network Computing Awards (Innovation of the Year and The One to Watch Product). Two are finalist nominations: the 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Awards (SASE category) and the 2026 SC Awards (Best SASE Solution). The tenth is an analyst recognition, Enterprise Management Associates named Zenarmor a Vendor to Watch.

What is the difference between an award winner, a runner-up recognition, a finalist nomination, and an analyst recognition?

An award win means the awarding organization selected Zenarmor as the winner of a competitive category. A runner-up recognition means Zenarmor received the second-highest result in the category. A finalist selection means Zenarmor advanced to the final shortlist but was not named the category winner. Analyst recognition is different: it reflects a well-known independent research firm in the SASE space whose assessment of Zenarmor's technology and market approach rather than the outcome of an awards competition.

Which Zenarmor products have been recognized?

The recognitions on this page primarily apply to Zenarmor SASE and its ONE.APP.SASE™ unified platform. Individual awards have recognized Zenarmor's SASE architecture, Zenarmor SASE product, Zero Trust security, SD-WAN capabilities, cybersecurity innovation, and value to MSPs and channel partners. Each entry identifies the exact product and category recognized.

How are these awards judged?

Each organization establishes its own criteria and selection process. Depending on the program, entries may be evaluated by an advisory council, an editorial panel, independent industry judges, or public voting. Common criteria include innovation, functionality, customer value, market impact, and relevance to the category. Analyst recognition is based on independent research rather than competitive judging.

Where can I verify Zenarmor's awards independently?

Every entry includes a "Read the announcement" link to the awarding organization or another authoritative source. Each listing also identifies the organization, exact category, recognition status, and announcement date so the result can be independently verified.

Can partners and the press use Zenarmor award badges and logos?

Partners and members of the press may accurately reference Zenarmor's awards and recognitions. Award badges and logos remain the property of the awarding organizations and must be used in accordance with their branding and usage requirements. Please contact the Zenarmor marketing team for approved assets and wording before publishing them.

Why has Zenarmor been recognized for SASE?

Zenarmor takes a differentiated, distributed approach to SASE. Its Single-App, Single-Stack, Single-Pass architecture brings security inspection and enforcement directly to endpoints, gateways, network edges, and customer-controlled cloud environments, while policies, visibility, and management remain centralized through Zenconsole™. This gives organizations control over where traffic is inspected and policies are enforced without requiring traffic to be sent to a vendor-operated cloud solely for security processing.

How often is this page updated?

This page is updated whenever Zenarmor receives a new award or analyst recognition, when finalist status changes, or when an official source is updated. Entries are listed newest first and link to authoritative announcements wherever available.

Where the recognition comes from

Awards are a summary of decisions made elsewhere; in the architecture, in the channel,and in production deployments. These are the entry points into each.
