Zurich, April 9, 2025 – Open Systems has been recognized as a Champion and Leader in the Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) category in the latest Professional User Rating: Security Solutions (PUR-S) 2025 by techconsult, a subsidiary of Heise Media.

This distinction is based on a comprehensive independent survey of more than 2,500 IT experts in German-speaking countries. Open Systems received top marks across key areas such as customer satisfaction, product performance, and innovation, earning it a leading position among ZTNA solution providers.

“This recognition as a ZTNA Champion reflects our ongoing commitment to meeting customer expectations by delivering innovative and easy-to-use security solutions and best-in-class service to organizations around the world,” said Daniel Neuhaus, CEO of Open Systems. “Furthermore, it highlights how our team continuously evolves our platform and solutions to meet the highest technical standards — always with the goal of delivering real, measurable value to our customers.”

ZTNA is a critical component of modern cybersecurity strategies. This solution shifts the focus to a more holistic security approach where every user, device and network connection is treated as untrusted by default. Zero Trust Network Access architecture follows an adaptive trust model, operating on a need-to-know, least-privilege basis. ZTNA therefore enables secure, identity-based access to applications and data – regardless of user location or device. Open Systems delivers a fully integrated, fully managed Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that emphasizes user-friendliness and comprehensive security. This managed service ensures that organizations are relieved from the responsibilities of operation, maintenance, and continuous development. Open Systems’ team of experts employs proven best practices to facilitate a seamless and scalable Zero Trust transformation
