Zenarmor SASE Recognized for Its Single-App, Single-Stack, Single-Pass Architecture Powering Real-World Zero Trust Enforcement

Zenarmor®, Inc., the company delivering the industry’s only single-app, single-stack, single-pass SASE architecture, today announced it has won the 2025 TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Award from TMC, a global integrated media company, with winners announced Feb. 26, 2026. The award honors leaders and innovators delivering effective, forward-thinking Zero Trust security solutions. This recognition underscores the market shift toward distributed Zero Trust enforcement over centralized cloud inspection models.

“It gives me great pleasure to honor the recipients of the TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC. “The award recognizes solutions providers championing the ‘Trust nothing, verify everything’ mantra of Zero Trust at a time when businesses face increasingly complex and frequent threats. The TMCnet team congratulates this year’s distinguished winners.”

Zenarmor delivers omnipresent security that enforces policy consistently across on-premises, cloud, edge, and endpoint environments. Built on a single-app, single-stack, single-pass SASE architecture, Zenarmor runs natively wherever users and applications operate. It is centrally managed through Zenconsole™ and deployed on customer-owned or partner-managed infrastructure, preserving data privacy, sovereignty, and operational control.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the industry’s top Zero Trust solutions,” said Murat Balaban, Founder and CEO of Zenarmor. “Our architecture enforces security at the point of access while maintaining full visibility and centralized policy control. Because our entire SASE stack runs as a single application, customers deploy in minutes and achieve consistent Zero Trust enforcement across any edge without redesigning their network. By eliminating forced backhaul and centralized inspection hops, Zenarmor delivers dramatically lower latency up to 100× - 1500× improvement compared to traditional PoP-centric SASE models.”

Zenarmor delivers a complete SASE stack including Zero Trust network access (ZTNA), secure internet access (SSE), and inline inspection without routing traffic through vendor-controlled PoPs. This architecture reduces latency, improves user experience, and ensures consistent enforcement wherever users and applications operate. Zenarmor deploys in minutes as a single application across gateways, endpoints, on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. Organizations avoid forklift upgrades, complex service chaining, and multi-vendor orchestration, significantly reducing operational overhead. Because inspection and enforcement occur locally, customers and partners can meet strict privacy, data residency, and compliance requirements. Sensitive traffic never leaves the country, region, or customer-controlled environment for inspection. Zenarmor transforms every edge into a fully enforced SASE edge.
