DH2i’s DxOdyssey Wins Double Honors at 2025 Security Awards for Transforming Enterprise Network Security Protection

Recognition Underscores Industry’s Accelerating Shift Away From Legacy VPNs Toward Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) Solutions That Offer Stronger Security, Faster Performance, and Greater Agility 

FORT COLLINS, CO – May 8, 2025 – DH2i®, the world’s leading provider of always-secure and always-on IT solutions, today announced its DxOdyssey Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) technology, has won top honors at the 2025 Security Awards across two categories: Best Security Infrastructure in Enterprise and Best Network Security Solution.

Operated by global cloud computing awards body, The Cloud Awards, The Security Awards recognizes organizations that are leading the cybersecurity industry. The program celebrates solutions that have been tailored to address specific areas of cybersecurity, as well as general technological excellence in securing data and digital assets. The program received entries from organizations of all sizes from across the globe, including the USA and Canada, the UK and Europe, the Middle East, and APAC.

DH2i’s DxOdyssey was honored with two 2025 Security Awards – Best Security Infrastructure in Enterprise and Best Network Security Solution – because it delivers a radically different approach to securing enterprise networks. Unlike legacy solutions like VPNs, DxOdyssey uses Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) tunneling to create secure, discreet, and direct application-level connections, without ever placing itself in the data path. This unique, infrastructure-agnostic software-defined perimeter enables organizations to eliminate lateral attack surfaces, accelerate data transfer speeds by up to 3x, and maintain total control over their environments across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud deployments. With features like seamless NAT traversal, patented hybrid TCP-UDP transport, and automatic failover, DxOdyssey sets a new standard for performance, flexibility, and zero trust security.

DxOdyssey Software-Defined Perimeter won a Network Security Solution award.

CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said, “We’re extremely proud to reveal the winners of The 2025 Security Awards. Cybersecurity is becoming more and more prevalent within the consciousness of people everywhere, not just within businesses. These awards provide a platform for those organizations that help keep our data safe and secure to celebrate their outstanding work.”

Williams continued, “DH2i has proven to be amongst the very best in the industry at what they do – impressing our judging panel throughout the awards program with their ingenuity, and dedication to great security practice. We offer them huge congratulations on their deserved victory in what was a tightly-contested program. We look forward to seeing how they build on this success in the months and years to come.”

DxOdyssey Software-Defined Perimeter won a cybersecurity infrastructure award.

“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized not in just one, but two categories at this year’s Security Awards, especially given the prestige of the program and the caliber of companies that enter each year,” said Don Boxley, CEO and Co-Founder of DH2i. “Indeed, we believe it is a reflection on the industry’s recognition that, with good reason, DxOdyssey is trusted by partners and end customers because it delivers what legacy solutions like VPNs and firewalls simply can’t – secure, application-level access with zero attack surface, lightning-fast performance, and effortless scalability across any IT environment. It solves real-world challenges every day by helping organizations eliminate lateral attacks, streamline operations, and accelerate their journey to a true zero trust architecture.”

About

Modern enterprises can’t achieve true SQL Server modernization unless they’re free to leverage the perfect mix of infrastructure and platforms to suit the needs of their unique workloads. Join this DH2i-hosted webinar, featuring representatives from the Microsoft SQL Server Team and the SUSE Partner Alliance, as they show you how to build a truly cross-platform data environment that spans Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes.

In the included demo, DH2i’s SQL Server Operator and SUSE Rancher will be used to deploy a secure, cross-platform SQL Server Availability Group (AG) that spans Azure Kubernetes Service, an Amazon EC2 VM, and an on-premises Windows node. The demo will showcase:

  • How to securely connect across sites/platforms without the use of a VPN
  • The use of Rancher’s web UI to simplify deployment and orchestration
  • Seamless automatic failover for SQL Server AGs across sites/platforms

If you are a database developer, engineer, or administrator looking to modernize your SQL Server data estate, this session is for you. This solution stack lets you wave goodbye to vendor lock-in and create an optimally scalable, secure, and highly available SQL Server environment across any platform and infrastructure you choose.
