March 25, 2026 – We are thrilled to announce that Aeris IoT Watchtower™ has been named a Gold Award recipient in the Internet of Things (IoT) Security category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
This recognition from the Cybersecurity Insiders community, judged by an independent panel of CISOs, analysts, and practitioners, validates Aeris’ mission to close the cellular security gap. As enterprises scale their connected ecosystems, Aeris IoT Watchtower™ provides the visibility and enforcement needed to protect the modern “shadow IoT” landscape that traditional security frameworks often miss.
As enterprises accelerate their shift toward Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures, a dangerous gap has emerged. Traditional SASE frameworks rely on software agents; code that simply cannot run on resource-constrained IoT devices like sensors, trackers, or vehicle telematics.
This creates a massive, unmonitored attack surface. Aeris IoT Watchtower™ eliminates this blind spot by providing a completely agentless solution. By operating at the network level rather than the device level, we extend Zero Trust principles directly to the cellular edge.
The recognition is backed by real-world resilience at a massive scale. Today, Aeris is a trusted partner to over 7,000 customers, securing more than 100 million devices and 41 million connected vehicles. This proven ability to secure data globally gives industry leaders like Swiss Airlines and CargoSense unparalleled confidence in their IoT ecosystems.
As the security landscape evolves, the need for a unified fabric that protects every asset has never been more critical. Aeris IoT Watchtower™ provides the missing link, ensuring that as businesses innovate at the edge, their security architecture keeps pace. We are honored to be recognized by the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards and remain committed to building a more secure, resilient, and connected future.
