ZeroTier received the silver award in the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards in the category for Software Industry Solution.

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, produced by Cybersecurity Insiders, celebrate companies, products, and notable professionals that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in information security. Each year, hundreds of nominations are reviewed by an independent jury of cybersecurity practitioners, analysts, CIOs and CISOs from the Cybersecurity Insiders community. Past Cybersecurity Excellence Award winners have included CISCO, CrowdStrike, AT&T Business, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Zscaler among many others.

“We congratulate ZeroTier for your outstanding achievements in the ‘Software’ category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “As we celebrate 10 years of recognizing global excellence in cybersecurity, ZeroTier’s innovation and leadership sets a powerful example for the entire industry.”

ZeroTier is critical for modern enterprises, defense and government organizations, and software and technology providers that need to securely connect users, workloads, and devices across an increasingly fragmented digital landscape. The recently released Central for ZeroTier One included a completely new streamlined user interface, enhanced onboarding, and a modernized backend architecture designed to make network management faster, simpler, and more powerful than ever.

“With AI changing the landscape of cyberattacks and the quantum threat just around the corner, ZeroTier is leading the way with resilient, decentralized, identity-first networking that limits access by design,” said Andrew Gault, CEO of ZeroTier. “This recognition by the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards is a testament to the hard work and relentless innovation of our team, who are committed to solving difficult connectivity challenges while securing organizations globally.”

In addition to the Software Industry Solution Cybersecurity Excellence Award, ZeroTier has also been nominated for a Community Choice Award, decided entirely by public votes. Voting closes July 18, 2026, and winners will be announced ahead of Black Hat USA.
