Act Security Wins “Zero Trust Network Access Solution of the Year” in CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards 2026

[TEL AVIV, Israel, October 8, 2026] — Act Security, the action-centric cloud security company, today announced its selection as the “Zero Trust Network Access Solution of the Year” in the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.

Access sprawl has outgrown what security teams can track, and AI-armed attackers are exploiting those access paths faster than defenders can respond. The vast majority of permissions granted in enterprise cloud environments go unused, yet each one stays open as a path an attacker, or a compromised AI agent, can travel toward an organization’s most valuable data. As AI agents inherit that excess access and frontier models compress the time from finding a flaw to exploiting it from months into seconds, the old model of scanning findings, ranking them, and patching one by one can no longer keep pace.

“For a decade, the industry obsessed over chasing vulnerabilities and findings, while cloud access quietly sprawled past anyone’s ability to track it,” said Jonathan Langer, CEO and co-founder of Act Security. “About 96% of the permissions in a typical cloud sit unused, and every one is a path an attacker or a rogue agent can take. AI took away the luxury of time, so recognition for Zero Trust Network Access tells us the market is ready to move from watching that risk to removing it, by closing the paths before anyone, human or machine, ever gets to use them.”

Security teams have chased least privilege in the cloud for years and found it nearly impossible to untangle. Rather than handing security teams another list of findings to work through, Act takes a different route. Act draws adaptive boundaries across multi-cloud environments, enforcing explicit-allow, zero-trust access at the infrastructure layer, past the point of access where most zero-trust tools stop. It analyzes identity and network in one unified model and builds guided campaigns where a single action removes many attack paths at once, covering the hidden paths traditional tools can't surface. The boundaries extend to every AI system and agent, so every identity, whether human, workload or AI, can reach and act on only what it needs, and nothing more. Act simulates every change before it ships, so nothing breaks production, and applies the exceptions needed to keep legitimate access intact. True to their name, the boundaries adapt as the cloud evolves and grows, so teams clear the access debt they've built up and future-proof their environment against drift. 

Beyond enterprise grade solutions, Act secures the foundational level of the security funnel. In September 2026, the company released Amphi, a free and open-source suite that takes the guesswork out of managing cloud access policies, reducing friction and giving the infrastructure and platform engineers who run the cloud a way to manage them without the manual overhead. Amphi builds on Cloud Copilot, the widely used open-source AWS IAM tool Act acquired earlier in the year, integrating with a team’s existing workflows and requiring no account or login.
