For the second year in a row, Aeris earned top honors at the prestigious cybersecurity awards
SAN FRANCISCO – Aeris, a global leader in wireless management platforms, security services, and connected vehicle programs, today announced it has been named a Visionary Cybersecurity Internet of Things (IoT) winner at the 14th annual Global InfoSec Awards, presented by Cyber Defense Magazine at the 2026 RSA Conference.
“As enterprises adopt SASE to unify security, they are unknowingly leaving their cellular-connected devices unprotected,” said Aziz Benmalek, CEO of Aeris. “Standard security frameworks rely on software agents that most IoT endpoints simply can’t support. Winning a Global InfoSec Award for the second consecutive year validates our mission to close this cellular blind spot. By providing an agentless, network level defense, we ensure that global IoT deployments remain both scalable and protected against increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks.”
Central to this recognition is Aeris IoT Watchtower™, the industry’s first agentless solution designed to extend unified security policies where traditional SASE architectures cannot reach. While traditional security frameworks are often blind to cellular-connected devices, Watchtower operates at the network level, providing deep-packet inspection and real-time visibility within the cellular packet core. This allows enterprises to detect anomalies and enforce security before threats ever reach the device.
“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Aeris is absolutely worthy of this coveted award and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
