ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, July 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Open Systems today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Secure Access Service Edge Services, Q3 2026. To Open Systems, the recognition reflects the company’s long-standing focus on combining AI-powered automation, operational expertise and expert human oversight to deliver measurable security outcomes.
The findings of The Forrester Wave™: Secure Access Service Edge Services, Q3 2026 point to a market increasingly focused on operational outcomes rather than technology alone. Forrester’s evaluation notes that “Open Systems’ vision redefines SASE services, shifting the focus away from tech vendor selection to outcomes for industrial, AI, and edge use cases that go beyond traditional user to cloud connectivity.” The report ‘s profile on Open Systems concludes that “Open Systems is an excellent fit for organizations that value operational and industry-specific outcomes over alignment with specific vendors.”
Forrester’s evaluation also states that “Open Systems sets the market standard in delivering agile, highly automated, and expert-level support that focuses on operational outcomes.” According to the report, “Strengths include its delivery architecture, regional sales and operational presence, technology extensibility, autonomous ops, digital twin capabilities, networking and security layer integration, and support for highly distributed apps and devices.” The report also notes that “Its stellar roadmap addresses Zero Trust benchmarking, sovereignty, agentic AIOps, and AI security.”
Customer feedback included in the evaluation further reinforces the recognition as a Leader in the Forrester assessment. According to the report, “Customers report high satisfaction, particularly with Open Systems’ self-developed tech stack, agility, and flexibility.” They also note that “its expert support is directly accessible and responsive.”
Building on these capabilities, Open Systems recently introduced Autonomous SASE, evolving its flagship SASE offering to reflect the next generation of enterprise security operations. By combining AI-powered automation, expert human oversight and more than 35 years of operational expertise within a single operating model, Autonomous SASE helps organizations simplify increasingly complex security operations while maintaining governance, transparency and customer control.
“AI is transforming cybersecurity, but technology alone doesn’t create better outcomes,” said Dennis Monner, CEO of Open Systems. “The differentiator is the operating model behind it. For more than 35 years, we’ve been securing and operating some of the world’s most demanding enterprise environments. That experience has created a foundation of operational expertise and intelligence that continuously improves how we automate, detect, respond and support our customers. Autonomous SASE builds on that foundation by combining AI-powered automation with expert human oversight to help organizations operate security with greater speed, resilience and control.”
Open Systems believes the future of cybersecurity will be defined not by the number of platforms organizations deploy, but by how intelligently they operate them. Autonomous SASE represents the next step in that evolution, combining AI-powered automation, expert human oversight and sovereign-by-design architecture to continuously improve operational outcomes.
