Sangfor's customer-first innovation and unified SASE architecture deliver real-world impact across APAC. SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Sangfor has been awarded the 2025 APAC Company of the Year Recognition in the secure access service edge (SASE) industry for its outstanding achievements in innovation, customer impact, and strategic market execution. This recognition highlights Sangfor's consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving competitive landscape. Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Sangfor excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale. "Sangfor's strong regional partner ecosystem, which includes value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), system integrators (SIs), and telecom operators, further enhances the customer experience.

Its Athena SASE platform is built on a unified architecture that integrates key security components—zero trust network access (ZTNA), secure web gateway (SWG), firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), data loss protection (DLP), and endpoint secure access (ESA)—within a single-agent model. This eliminates the complexity of managing fragmented tools and accelerates time-to-value, particularly for SMEs. "We're honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan for excellence in the SASE market. Sangfor Athena SASE is designed to address the evolving challenges of today's cybersecurity landscape—supporting distributed, cloud-first enterprises, enabling scalability and agility, and delivering superior performance with stronger security.
