adam:ONE® won the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Solution of the Year category in the 2024 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. The program recognizes information security and risk management technologies and companies worldwide.
Reactive security engages late in an attack, often after the damage is done. adam:ONE works earlier in the chain. Don’t Talk to Strangers (DTTS)® blocks any connection that a DNS lookup and policy have not approved, so command-and-control channels, data exfiltration and phishing paths are closed without the system needing to know they exist. AI-driven dynamic allow-listing narrows what each network can reach, and DNSharmony® aggregates threat intelligence from multiple sources.
Nothing has to be installed on the device. That lets adam:ONE protect any device that can connect to the internet, including Internet of Things (IoT), Operations Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) equipment. It also supports sovereign data custody: adam:ONE needs no decryption, which avoids the risk of the centralized decryption that conventional ZTNA systems commonly use. The muscle-brain hybrid deployment keeps enforcement decentralized for resilience and performance while policy is managed from a single pane of glass.
The same approach reduces attack surface, limits how much depends on people avoiding mistakes, and automates Shadow IT cleanup by simplifying control over unauthorized applications and services.
“This achievement stands as a testament to our proactive approach to cybersecurity, and how we’re changing the way the industry thinks about effective security practices,” said David Redekop, CEO and Co-Founder of ADAMnetworks. “We’re committed to advancing the cybersecurity industry with true proactive solutions to protect organizations from threats before the damage is done. We’re looking forward to continuing our mission to redefine the future of internet security and to protect people as they live and interact online.”
