AUSTIN, TEXAS – March 3, 2026 – Portnox, a leader in passwordless, universal zero trust, today announced it has been named a winner of the 2025 TMCnet Cybersecurity Excellence Awards and the 2025 TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Awards. These prestigious awards, presented by TMCnet, recognize the top providers in the cybersecurity and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) domains.

By consolidating Network Access Control (NAC), ZTNA, and TACACS+ into a single, fully SaaS-delivered solution, Portnox Cloud enables IT teams to proactively enforce powerful access control and endpoint risk monitoring policies without the complexity of legacy on-premises systems.
“The narrative around access control has fundamentally changed,” said Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox. “Access control is no longer a legacy checkpoint at the edge of the network; it is a core pillar of zero trust. It provides the continuous verification, visibility, and policy enforcement required to ensure that only the right users and devices can access the right resources at the right time. These awards from TMCnet validate our mission to make modern, cloud-native zero trust architecture practical and achievable for organizations of any size.”
