The SecureW2 JoinNow platform consistently won top awards from cybersecurity experts in 2025.
Digital threats are constantly evolving, and that means cybersecurity must keep pace with relentless innovation. SecureW2 remains at the forefront of network security defense, with best-in-class innovative products and adaptive solutions tailored to today’s threat landscape.
SecureW2 is honored to see our efforts recognized with 10 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Additionally, we were awarded four honors from cybersecurity marketplace G2. These span the breadth and impact of our approach to certificate-based, passwordless security.
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards honor companies, individuals, and solutions advancing cybersecurity around the globe. Chosen by a panel of industry leaders, the awards are globally recognized and respected for highlighting the contributions shaping the future of cybersecurity. These awards reflect the SecureW2 commitment to scalable, innovative solutions designed to neutralize today’s threats and evolve to meet tomorrow’s.
SecureW2’s Awards Span the Cybersecurity Landscape
In the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, the SecureW2 JoinNow platform took the top award in six core cybersecurity categories. This was a reflection of the software’s ability to provide the best network security at every stage, from onboarding to ongoing trust enforcement.
“We congratulate SecureW2 on the outstanding achievement of securing ten 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards wins,” said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “Your innovation, commitment, and leadership set a powerful example for the cybersecurity industry, especially as we celebrate a decade of recognizing excellence.”
Digital Certificates
The SecureW2 JoinNow Platform won in the Digital Certificates category for its secure, automated certificate issuance for managed and unmanaged devices with full lifecycle management across platforms. With JoinNow, digital certificates don’t assume trust; instead, they use real-time risk analysis to give organizations unmatched visibility and control over their network.
Network Security Policy Management (NSPM)
The JoinNow Platform also won the Network Security Policy Management (NSPM) category. It integrates real-time risk intelligence and adaptive policy enforcement to automate identity validation, live updates to authorization, and granular access control based on evolving security signals. The platform’s Cloud RADIUS provides high-availability, passwordless authentication with EAP-TLS and cloud identity integrations for unified security.
Best Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Software
SecureW2 won the Cybersecurity Excellence award for the best Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution. SecureW2 provides enhanced wireless security by tying access to SAML login, sponsored provisioned accounts, or third-party authentication. This approach allows organizations to offer employees BYOD or guests access without compromising network security.
Best Certificate-Based Authentication Solution
The SecureW2 JoinNow platform is the top Certificate-Based Authentication solution in 2025. JoinNow replaces vulnerable password-based systems with intelligent, passwordless authentication. Unlike other certificate-based authentication solutions, SecureW2 has a unique platform that continuously validates digital certificates against real-time security conditions. Legacy PKI software providers rely on static trust assumptions, but SecureW2 has an adaptive framework that incorporates real-time risk intelligence and multi-signal validation for ongoing enforcement.
Best Certificate Lifecycle Management Solution
SecureW2 was also awarded the Cybersecurity Excellence award for the best Certificate Lifecycle Management solution. SecureW2 offers complete cloud PKI with automated issuance, monitoring, and revocation across all major operating systems for both managed and unmanaged devices. Leading experts recognize that modern certificate lifecycle management solutions should have continuous trust verification and strong policy controls to thwart identity-based attacks. SecureW2 uses secure issuances protocols – for example, we leverage dynamic SCEP instead of legacy SCEP, which relies on static keys that can be stolen. Dynamic SCEP ensures a key can only be used once while requesting a certificate. SecureW2 ensures the integrity of issued certificates through deep integrations with customers’ environments, drawing security signals from IDPs, MDMs, and EDRs/XDRs to inform certificate lifecycle decisions. SecureW2 has seamless integrations with platforms like Azure, Okta, Google Workspace, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks to make it a robust, future-proof solution for enterprise-scale management.
Best Passwordless Solution
Finally, the JoinNow Platform received the Best Passwordless Authentication solution from the Cybersecurity Excellence Award for its scalable, passwordless authentication that adds security without increasing IT complexity. SecureW2 adds a security intelligence layer that continuously verifies and enforces trust beyond legacy PKI or RADIUS functions. SecureW2 has passwordless certificates validated in real time. JoinNow combines real-time authentication intelligence, a vast partner ecosystem, and agentless architecture for strong, frictionless security on any device or network.

In addition to the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, SecureW2 also received several awards this fall from G2, the largest and most trusted software marketplace globally. They include Leader in Network Access Control as well as awards for Best Relationship, Best Results, and Users Most Likely to Recommend. These G2 badges, based entirely on verified customer reviews, underline SecureW2 as the best PKI and best RADIUS solution for ease of use, customer support, and the ability to deliver measurable results within weeks of deployment.
“Security teams need the highest level of assurance, which requires verifying every user and device — not just once, but continuously,” said SecureW2 CEO and co-founder, Bert Kashyap. “SecureW2 delivers this through a dynamic, ecosystem-based approach that enforces access decisions as risk levels change.”
As cyber threats continue to evolve, SecureW2 remains committed to pioneering passwordless, certificate-driven security that adapts in real time, helping organizations defend their infrastructure against threats 24/7.
