Zenarmor has been named a winner in Cyber Defense Magazine’s Top InfoSec Innovators 2026 awards, receiving the Pioneering Secure Access Service Edge award.
Following our finalist recognition announced during Black Hat USA 2026, we are proud to celebrate this win with our customers, partners, and the entire Zenarmor team.
Our goal has always been to make enterprise-grade network security simpler to deploy and operate. This recognition is an opportunity to celebrate that work and the people who continue to move it forward.
Bringing security to where work happens
A user’s workday can span the office, home, a customer site, or an airport. Applications and workloads are equally distributed. Security needs to protect users’ traffic and access throughout that journey, with consistent policies wherever they connect.
Zenarmor SASE Anywhere Architecture™ brings inspection and policy enforcement directly to endpoints, gateways, cloud workloads, and containers. Traffic is inspected locally, avoiding the need to route it through a distant vendor-operated point of presence solely for security processing.
The architecture follows a Single-App, Single-Stack, Single-Pass design. Zenarmor delivers unified security through a single engine that combines Security Service Edge (SSE), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and next-generation firewall capabilities, including full TLS inspection. Zenconsole™ centralizes policy management and visibility across these enforcement points.
That combination gives IT teams a consistent way to protect distributed environments while retaining control over where security enforcement happens.
Making the architecture useful for customers
For organizations and the partners supporting them, the value of distributed SASE comes down to practical needs:
- Protect users wherever they work. Apply security policies across office, remote, and roaming environments, with inspection close to users and the resources they access.
- Simplify daily operations. Manage policies and monitor activity through Zenconsole, reducing the effort of coordinating separate security tools and consoles.
- Build on existing infrastructure. Extend security across supported gateways, endpoints, and cloud environments, including existing OPNsense deployments.
- Support data sovereignty objectives. Keep inspection local and give organizations greater control over where their traffic is processed.
These are the operational priorities that shape our approach to SASE: helping teams deliver strong protection with fewer deployment and management burdens.
A win shared with our community
Our customers help us understand what security teams need in production. Our partners bring that experience into different industries, regions, and deployment environments. Their feedback continues to guide what we build.
This award also belongs to the people across Zenarmor who turn that feedback into a product and a customer experience: engineering, product, technical marketing, sales, marketing, support, and customer success.
Thank you to Cyber Defense Magazine for this recognition, and congratulations to our fellow 2026 winners.
We remain focused on making enterprise-grade security accessible and practical for the organizations that depend on it, wherever their users work.
