SonicWall Wins Big at the 2026 CybersecAsia Readers' Choice Awards — and Enters the Hall of Fame

by Jordan Riddles

SonicWall has been recognized with two category wins at the 7th Annual CybersecAsia Readers' Choice Awards and inducted into the CybersecAsia Hall of Fame for sustained excellence across the Asia Pacific cybersecurity market.

Two Category Wins

Readers of CybersecAsia, one of the region's most trusted sources of cybersecurity news and analysis, voted SonicWall the winner in two categories this year:

  • Best in Cloud Security
  • Best in Ransomware/Malware Defense

These awards are decided by a rigorous, community-driven voting process. Finalists are shortlisted by CybersecAsia's panel of editors and advisors, then put to a vote among qualified end-user organizations across the Asia Pacific region, including CISOs, technology heads and cybersecurity practitioners. A win, therefore, reflects the direct judgment of the customers and partners who rely on these solutions every day.

This is not new territory for SonicWall in the Cloud Security category. The company was first recognized as Best in Cloud Security by CybersecAsia in 2024, and this year's win confirms that the region's security leaders continue to view SonicWall's cloud-delivered protection as best in class. The addition of a win in Ransomware/Malware Defense underscores the strength of SonicWall's broader threat protection portfolio, at a time when ransomware remains one of the most pressing risks facing organizations of every size across the region.

Induction into the Hall of Fame

Beyond the category wins, SonicWall has been inducted into the CybersecAsia Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for companies that have won a CybersecAsia Readers' Choice Award in at least five of the past six or seven years since the program's inception. Induction recognizes not a single strong year, but a sustained record of earning the trust and votes of the Asia Pacific cybersecurity community.

For SonicWall, this milestone reflects five consecutive years of Readers' Choice recognition: a track record built on consistent investment in cloud security, threat protection, and the partner-first model that underpins the company's go-to-market approach across the region.

Why It Matters

Awards decided by practitioners rather than by a closed panel carry a particular kind of weight. They are a signal from the people actually defending networks, data and customers against today's threat landscape. Two category wins and a Hall of Fame induction together tell a consistent story: organizations across Asia Pacific continue to trust SonicWall to help them stay ahead of an evolving threat environment, and that this trust has held steady year after year.

SonicWall extends its thanks to the CybersecAsia community, and to every customer and partner across the region whose feedback and support made these recognitions possible.
