CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards Names Portnox Policy Management Solution Provider of the Year

As a leader in policy management, Portnox Cloud offers a transformative approach to Network Access Control (NAC) to meet the dynamic demands of the modern enterprise.

Austin, TX – Oct. 22, 2024—Portnox, a leading provider of cloud-native, zero trust access control solutions, today announced that its Portnox Cloud platform was recognized as the Policy Management Solution Provider of the Year by the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. The 2024 winners are listed here. The CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards aims to perform the most comprehensive evaluation of CyberSecurity companies and solutions on the market today.

According to a recent survey conducted with Wakefield Research of 200 U.S. CISOs at companies with a minimum annual revenue of $500m at the end of Q3 2024, 90% of CISOs reported feeling overwhelmed by constantly shifting compliance demands. As regulations like NIS2 loom, CISOs find it difficult to ensure they’re always up to date.

With the increasing trends of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD), remote workforces, and the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), there are more devices on corporate networks than ever before. These trends, while great for innovation and productivity, have made securing corporate networks and their data extremely complex. Each of these devices are a potential point of entry for hackers. To combat these threats, organizations must adhere to strong cyber security compliance standards.

“Cybersecurity compliance has become more important than ever,” said Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox. “Portnox Cloud allows companies to easily enforce access policies and maintain security compliance across their networks, applications, and infrastructure from a single, unified platform.”
