Elisity wins 2025 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award for network security.
Identity-based microsegmentation simplifies Zero Trust implementation.
Achieves 99%+ asset discovery, including IoT, OT, and IoMT devices.
Reduces TCO by 76% compared to legacy segmentation approaches.
Deploys 1,000+ policies, with 83% of assets protected in 90 days.
Supports compliance with NIST 800-207, HIPAA 2025, and more.
Elisity’s cloud-delivered SaaS platform redefines network security by offering identity-centric microsegmentation without the complexity of traditional VLANs, NACs, or ACLs. Unlike legacy approaches requiring extensive resources, Elisity eliminates the need for new hardware or agents, enabling rapid deployment. Customers can implement active policies across multiple sites in days, compared to months or years for traditional methods, significantly reducing operational complexity.
With over 99% discovery and classification of all network assets, including unmanaged IoT, OT, and IoMT devices, Elisity provides unmatched visibility. This capability, paired with its IdentityGraph™, allows organizations to automate classification and enforce granular Zero Trust policies. These policies ensure least privilege access, tailored to meet diverse enterprise security requirements across industries.
Elisity’s solution delivers a 76% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to legacy segmentation methods. Within 90 days, 83% of protected assets are under active policy, with customers averaging over 1,000 enforced policies. The platform also reduces cyber insurance premiums by over 20% and accelerates compliance with frameworks like NIST SP 800-207, HIPAA 2025, PCI DSS, and IEC 62443.
"Enterprise security leaders face the challenge that legacy approaches demand armies of specialists, with one sample customer reporting requirements for 14 additional full-time employees and 300 hours per site," said James Winebrenner, CEO of Elisity. "At Elisity, we reduce the complexity commonly associated with deploying true microsegmentation. In some cases, our customers deploy 3-4 sites weekly, achieving active policies within days, while traditional projects require months or years. We will continue to help CISOs in the effort to achieve Zero Trust maturity, proactively prevent security risks, and reduce network policy management complexity."
This award follows Elisity’s recognition as a Gartner® Cool Vendor™ in Cyber-Physical Systems Security 2025 and a top performer in The Forrester Wave™: Microsegmentation Solutions Q3 2024. By simplifying dynamic edge segmentation in brownfield environments, Elisity is leading the charge in the "Golden Era of Microsegmentation."
Elisity is a leap forward in network segmentation architecture and is leading the enterprise effort to achieve Zero Trust maturity, proactively prevent security risks, and reduce network complexity. Designed to be implemented in days, without downtime, upon implementation, the platform rapidly discovers every device on an enterprise network and correlates comprehensive device insights into the Elisity IdentityGraph™. This empowers teams with the context needed to automate classification and apply dynamic security policies to any device wherever and whenever it appears on the network. These granular, identity-based microsegmentation security policies are managed in the cloud and enforced using your existing network switching infrastructure in real-time, even on ephemeral IT/IoT/OT devices. Founded in 2019, Elisity has a global employee footprint and a growing number of customers in the Fortune 500.
