Zero Networks Named to the 2025 MES Midmarket 100: Effortless Microsegmentation for Every Organization

Network security isn’t one-size-fits-all, but comprehensive solutions are all too often reserved for the largest and most well-resourced organizations. To help forward-thinking security teams at midsize businesses cut through the noise, MES Computing compiles an annual list of 100 technology vendors committed to delivering future-focused products and services designed for midmarket growth and innovation. 

Zero Networks is proud to be named to the 2025 MES Midmarket 100 for the third year in a row – a recognition of our ongoing commitment to partner-led growth and our mission to make microsegmentation radically simple for teams of every size.  

The MES Midmarket 100 Evaluation Criteria  

MES Computing defines midmarket organizations as those with an annual revenue of $50 million to $2 billion and/or 100 to 2,500 total supported users/seats. Vendors were selected for the MES Midmarket 100 for their go-to-market strategy, how they innovate to serve the midmarket better, and the strength of their midmarket product portfolios. 

Radically Simple Network Security for Midsized Organizations  

Zero Networks’ comprehensive approach is ideally suited to midsized organizations that need robust protection against advanced cyber threats from a single, easy-to-use interface.  

With automated asset tagging, grouping, and policy creation and management, Zero dramatically simplifies deployment and management – even for organizations with limited IT resources. In fact, Zero Networks saves the average small-to-medium-sized enterprise (500 to 2,500 employees) 79% compared with traditional segmentation solutions.  

A Partner Program Built for Growth 

Since its inception, Zero Networks has pursued a mission to revolutionize network security for every organization – including historically underserved markets. Partnerships are key to delivering enterprise-grade solutions to teams of every size.  

In just three years, Zero Networks’ partner program has grown to include over 100 partners across 24 countries. According to Adam Hofeler, Vice President of Go-to-Market Strategy at Zero Networks, Zero’s partner program succeeds because it delivers across three key dimensions:  

“In my experience, partners want three things. They want trust, they want to make money, and they want the technology to work. The beauty of Zero Networks is we have all that. Trust is earned. So, we want to make sure we earn that trust and protect our partners with a deal registration process. We're easy to do business with. We're 100% channel. And the third piece is we've got great customers and references, and our technology works, so they can go in and sell something else to the end user.”  

Zero’s partner program, ZEROtoSIXTY, earned its second consecutive five-star rating from CRN’s annual Partner Program Guide in 2025, thanks to benefits like:  

• Selling resources: Our product and pre-sales experts are eager to join partners’ calls with customers, ensuring clear communication and faster growth.    
• Materials for effective marketing: Training assets, tailored marketing collateral, and development funds are all available to partners.   
• Dedicated support: Partners always have a dedicated channel manager by their side, with 24/7 response times for consistent support when it’s needed most.   
• Recognition: Zero prioritizes tailored rewards to acknowledge and celebrate partners’ achievements.   

Delivering Microsegmentation for All: Zero Networks’ Ongoing Commitment to Midsized Organizations   

Zero’s recognition on the 2025 MES Midmarket 100 comes on the heels of our Series C fundraise, a milestone that will drive an expanded global footprint, broader integrations, and help scale the resources available to our partner community. 

Hofeler says these investments will translate to even deeper value for customers and partners: “You’re going to see us in more places. You’re going to see us at more events. In this realm of the go-to-market team within Zero Networks, you’ll see more integrations coming soon to really help our customers.”  

As threats evolve and networks grow more complex, Zero remains committed to radically simple solutions that shift the burden of effort from defenders to attackers.
