“This is a highly sought-after award and great recognition of the team at Axis Security.

“I am excited to announce this year’s class of the SINET16 Innovators, who are emerging as leaders in their field, and paving the way for critical security advancements into multiple government agencies and industry sectors,” said Robert D. Rodriguez, Chairman of SINET. “As in past years, the applicant pool of early-stage and emerging technology companies has become more and more competitive. We are proud to play a role in accelerating innovation into a global marketplace by increasing the awareness of value-add technologies and we look forward to watching these companies continue to grow and help protect our national security and economic interests.”

SINET has built an amazing platform to help early-stage companies rise above the noise in the very crowded startup security space. Many SINET16 winners have gone on to change the industry and have had significant exits. I am thrilled to watch and mentor the 2021 SINET16 Innovators as they continue to raise the bar to help protect enterprises from the most advanced Cyber threats of today.”
