Dispel Wins “Hot Company Secure Remote Access” at Global InfoSec Awards 2026

Recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine for innovation in secure remote access for operational technology 

SAN FRANCISCO — March 23, 2026 — Dispel, the leader in Secure Remote Access (SRA) for Operational Technology (OT), today announced it has been named a winner in the 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards presented by Cyber Defense Magazine during the RSAC™ Conference 2026. Dispel was recognized as “Hot Company Secure Remote Access,” honoring its innovation in securing remote access for cyber-physical systems and industrial environments.

The award recognizes Dispel’s leadership in redefining how industrial organizations securely connect users and vendors to mission-critical systems. As remote access becomes foundational to modern operations, Dispel enables organizations to eliminate legacy VPN architectures, reduce risk, and securely scale across distributed environments.

“We’re proud to be recognized as the industry’s best remote access platform by Cyber Defense Magazine through its Global InfoSec Awards,” said Ethan Schmertzler, Co-CEO of Dispel. “As remote access becomes essential to industrial operations, organizations need security purpose-built for OT—not retrofitted from IT. This recognition reflects our focus on reducing risk while enabling secure, efficient operations across critical infrastructure.”

The award highlights Dispel’s approach to securing remote access for industrial and cyber-physical systems.

“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Dispel is absolutely worthy of this coveted award and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
