Cyber Defense Magazine recognizes Nipper OmniSight as a Groundbreaking Exposure Assessment Platform and Titania as a Hot Company in Vulnerability Management
ORLANDO, FL (CYBERDEFENSEWIRE) OCTOBER 20, 2026 – Titania, the network security company that secures the networks society depends on, has been named a winner in two categories of the Top InfoSec Innovator Awards 2026 by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security magazine, during CyberDefenseCon 2026. Nipper OmniSight was recognized as a Groundbreaking Exposure Assessment Platform, and Titania as a Hot Company in Vulnerability Management.
Titania received the following recognition:
Groundbreaking Exposure Assessment Platform
Hot Company Vulnerability Management
The awards recognize Titania's innovation in helping organizations identify, validate and reduce hidden security exposures across network infrastructure, from individual device vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to enterprise-wide exposure assessment. As AI accelerates the pace of cyber threats and networks grow increasingly complex, organizations face a fundamental challenge: knowing whether their security controls are working as intended.
Titania addresses this challenge through its Nipper solutions, which directly assess the configurations of firewalls, routers, switches, and wireless access points, with expanding SD-WAN and software-defined network (SDN) coverage, from the inside out. They uncover hidden misconfigurations and unintended access paths that outside-in tools often leave unvalidated.
Nipper OmniSight, recognized as a Groundbreaking Exposure Assessment Platform, is Titania's preemptive exposure assessment solution. It provides enterprise-scale, regular, and repeatable configuration assessment that validates segmentation and least-privilege access (core Zero Trust controls), exposes unintended access paths, and helps reduce exposure across complex networks. It identifies configuration changes through assessment.
Nipper InfraSight, the solution behind Titania's Hot Company Vulnerability Management recognition, provides point-in-time configuration validation for device hardening, risk-based vulnerability prioritization, and audit-ready compliance evidence. It identifies misconfigurations, ineffective rules and access exceptions that outside-in tools often leave unvalidated, with device-specific remediation guidance that helps security teams fix the weaknesses that pose the greatest risk first.
"We're thrilled to be among this coveted group of winners in the 14th year of the Cyber Defense Awards, during CyberDefenseCon 2026, where leading CISOs from around the world gather. We knew the competition would be tough, with leading InfoSec experts from around the globe judging the entries, so we couldn't be more pleased," said Ian Robinson, Chief Product Officer at Titania.
"These two awards recognize an important shift in cybersecurity. Finding vulnerabilities is only part of the challenge. Organizations also need to know whether those weaknesses are reachable, whether their security controls are working and what they need to fix first. That's what we're focused on across the Nipper solutions portfolio: giving teams defensible evidence of network exposure so they can make better decisions and reduce exposure before attackers can exploit it," Robinson added.
"Titania embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow's threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach," said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
Together, Nipper InfraSight and Nipper OmniSight help organizations move from point-in-time configuration validation to regular, repeatable enterprise-scale network exposure assessment. Rather than inferring risk from external signals, Nipper technology directly validates how network devices are configured and whether security policies are being enforced, without agents, live-network scanning, or cloud dependency.
This approach is particularly important for government, defense and critical infrastructure organizations, where a security incident can disrupt essential operations and live-network scanning may not be appropriate. Nipper solutions are trusted by 1,000+ organizations, including 30+ US federal agencies and 100+ critical infrastructure providers, across 43 countries.
The dual recognition reinforces Titania's focus on giving organizations defensible proof that their network configurations enforce access as intended. The full list of the Top InfoSec Innovators for 2026 is found here: https://cyberdefenseawards.com/top-infosec-innovators-for-2026/
