Portnox’s Unified Access Control Solution Recognized as InfoSec Innovator Award Finalist by Cyber Defense Magazine

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – August 7, 2025 – Portnox, a leader in cloud-native access control and cybersecurity solutions, announces that Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM) named Portnox a finalist for the following InfoSec Innovator Award categories during BlackHat USA 2025:

• Unified Access Control
• Network Access Control

Judging continues through October 2025, where winners will be announced online, in print and during CyberDefenseCon 2025, taking place October 28-29, 2025 in Orlando, Florida.

“Portnox embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

“We’re thrilled to once again be recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine,” said Portnox CEO Denny LeCompte. “Last year, we won the award for Network Access Control, and this year’s nomination for Unified Access Control highlights our continued innovation. Our unified approach bridges traditional access control silos, offering a single source of truth for identity- and posture-based access policies across your IT environment.”

As the enterprise threat landscape evolves and workforces become increasingly distributed, organizations require a unified, scalable, and intelligent way to manage who can access what, when, where, and how. Portnox addresses this challenge by delivering a Unified Access Control platform that combines four foundational technologies—RADIUS, Network Access Control (NAC), TACACS+, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)—under one cloud-native roof. This consolidation empowers IT and security teams to enforce Zero Trust principles seamlessly across wired, wireless, remote, and administrative access scenarios without the traditional complexity, cost, and fragmentation of legacy on-prem solutions.
