Appgate received the highest possible scores in the network security, workload security, automation and orchestration, manageability and usability, Zero Trust eXtended (ZTX) vision and strategy, ZTX advocacy, market approach, and portfolio growth rate criteria.

“As organizations more widely deploy workloads into hybrid environments, and more employees are working remotely, security becomes more distributed, dynamic, and complex. Network boundaries no longer exist, making a Zero Trust security strategy a necessity for any organization,” said Barry Field, CEO, Appgate. “Based on Zero Trust principles, Appgate SDP is a secure access solution built to support hybrid IT environments and a distributed workforce. It enables enterprises to enforce dynamic, context-sensitive policies for every user on any device regardless of how they access the network. We believe Appgate’s position as a leader in the Wave further validates our commitment to achieving Zero Trust.”
