Zenarmor SASE Recognized for Its Single-App, Single-Stack, Single-Pass Architecture Delivering Real-World Zero Trust Enforcement Across Any Edge

Zenarmor®, Inc., the company delivering the industry’s only single-app, single-stack, single-pass SASE architecture, today announced it has been named a finalist in the prestigious 2026 SC Awards program. Zenarmor SASE was recognized in the Best SASE Solution category, highlighting the company’s innovation and leadership in modern network security. The SC Awards, now in its 29th year, recognize the solutions, organizations, and individuals that demonstrate outstanding achievement in advancing the security of information systems.

SC Media describes the Best SASE Solution category as: “Efforts by businesses to implement a zero-trust model require effective management of network visibility of user activity and access. Solutions for this category contribute to that effort, offering secure access service edge (SASE) to combine wide area networking, or WAN, and network security services into a single cloud offering. They enable secure, policy-based access to the appropriate application or data regardless of user or device location.”

“The SC Awards celebrate excellence and innovation in cybersecurity, recognizing the people and technologies driving real progress,” said CyberRisk Alliance Chief Content Officer Kelley Damore. “Being named a finalist is a mark of credibility and trust – a powerful validation from peers and experts who understand what it takes to deliver real-world security impact.”

Zenarmor delivers omnipresent security that enforces policy consistently across on-premises, cloud, edge, and endpoint environments. Built on a single-app, single-stack, single-pass SASE architecture, Zenarmor runs natively wherever users and applications operate. The platform is centrally managed through Zenconsole™ and deployed on customer-owned or partner-operated infrastructure, preserving data privacy, sovereignty, and full operational control.

“The SC Awards program is the premier recognition in the cybersecurity industry, and we are honored to be named as a finalist and recognized among the industry’s best SASE solutions,” said Murat Balaban, Founder and CEO of Zenarmor. “Our architecture enforces security at the point of access while maintaining full visibility and centralized policy control. Because our entire SASE stack runs as a single application, customers can deploy in minutes and achieve consistent Zero Trust enforcement across any edge without redesigning their networks. By eliminating forced backhaul and centralized inspection hops, Zenarmor delivers dramatically lower latency up to 100×–1500× faster than traditional PoP-centric SASE models, effectively transforming every edge into a fully enforced SASE edge.”

The 2026 SC Awards entries were evaluated across 33 specialty categories by a distinguished panel of judges, comprised of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and members of the CyberRisk Alliance CISO community, representing sectors such as healthcare, financial services, education, and technology.

Zenarmor delivers a complete SASE stack including Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Internet Access (SSE), and inline traffic inspection without relying on centralized inspection infrastructure. Built on a single-app, single-stack, single-pass architecture, Zenarmor runs natively wherever users and applications operate, including gateways, endpoints, on-premises environments, cloud environments, and edge deployments. Because inspection and enforcement occur directly in the traffic path, organizations achieve consistent security enforcement with significantly lower latency and improved user experience. The platform deploys in minutes as a single application, eliminating the need for complex service chaining, multi-vendor orchestration, or forklift infrastructure upgrades. By enabling inspection within customer-owned or partner-operated infrastructure, Zenarmor allows organizations to meet strict privacy, data residency, and regulatory compliance requirements. Sensitive traffic never leaves the country, region, or customer-controlled environment for inspection. This architecture effectively transforms every edge into a fully enforced SASE edge.
