Elisity Recognized as Overall Network Security Solution Provider of the Year in the Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards

Recognition highlights Elisity’s identity-based microsegmentation platform as enterprises confront rising lateral movement attacks and mandated network segmentation across leading cybersecurity frameworks

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elisity, a pioneer in identity-based microsegmentation, today announced it was named a CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards winner in the "Overall Network Security Solution Provider of the Year" category. The CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards recognize the top companies, products, technical innovations, and people in the cybersecurity industry today.

Lateral movement attacks succeed in 70% of breaches, with enterprise security leaders facing an unprecedented challenge as every major cybersecurity framework now mandates network segmentation as a critical control. NIST SP 800-207's Zero Trust guidelines, CISA's frameworks, SANS Critical Security Controls, the proposed 2025 HIPAA Security Rule, PCI DSS, and IEC 62443 for industrial systems all converge on one requirement: organizations must implement granular segmentation to prevent these attacks.

Elisity's breakthrough recognized that network-based segmentation didn't require VLAN or NAC complexity. The company's cloud-delivered SaaS platform provides identity-centric microsegmentation without requiring new hardware, agents, VLANs, network reconfiguration, or complex ACLs. Elisity also achieves greater than 99% discovery and classification of all assets, including unmanaged IoT, OT, and IoMT devices that cannot support agents. This comprehensive visibility, combined with identity-based microsegmentation, enables Zero Trust least privilege access policies that can be configured in highly configurable and granular ways to meet any organization's security requirements.

"Enterprise security leaders face the challenge that legacy approaches demand armies of specialists, with one sample customer reporting requirements for 14 additional full-time employees and 300 hours per site," said James Winebrenner, CEO of Elisity. "At Elisity, we reduce the complexity commonly associated with deploying true microsegmentation. In some cases, our customers deploy 3-4 sites weekly, achieving active policies within days, while traditional projects require months or years. We will continue to help CISOs in the effort to achieve Zero Trust maturity, proactively prevent security risks, and reduce network policy management complexity."

Last month, Elisity was named a Cool Vendor™ in the Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in Cyber-Physical Systems Security 2025. The company has also been recognized in the Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Enterprise Networking, 2025, and featured as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Market Guide for Network Security Microsegmentation. To further showcase Elisity's microsegmentation leadership, Forrester noted in The Forrester Wave™: Microsegmentation Solutions Q3 2024 that we've entered the "Golden Era of Microsegmentation," where Elisity emerged as a top performer by transforming how microsegmentation is achieved in brownfield environments with minimal prerequisites.

Organizations achieve 76% TCO reduction compared to legacy approaches, with 83% of protected assets under policy within 90 days. Customers average 1,000+ actively enforced policies. The solution prevents lateral movement attacks, reduces cyber insurance premiums by 20%+, and accelerates compliance for HIPAA 2025, NIST 800-207, FDA, IEC 62443, and CISA requirements.
