Zürich, Switzerland - October 1st, 2025 - Open Systems today announced it has been positioned in the Major Players Category in two IDC MarketScape reports:

• IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed SD-WAN Services 2025 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US52980125, September 2025)
• IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Security Service Edge (SSE) Services 2025 Vendor Assessment (IDC #US52992425, September 2025)

The IDC MarketScape for SSE noted, “Organizations seeking a flexible and comanaged managed SSE service with high levels of automation, strong incident response SLAs, integrated threat intelligence, and the ability to directly interact with the platform through AI-enabled interfaces should consider Open Systems’ offering.”

Driving Business Outcomes through Managed SD-WAN and SSE
Open Systems believes these recognitions reflect its ability to give customers more than point solutions: a unified, co-managed service model that reduces operational burden, delivers consistent SLAs, and integrates security and networking into a single Managed SASE approach. With 24×7 expert support, transparent service metrics, and a platform designed for seamless integration, Open Systems helps enterprises simplify security operations while ensuring a strong user experience across distributed environments.

“It’s great to see IDC recognize Open Systems as a Major Player in both SD-WAN and SSE,” said Stefan Keller, Chief Product Officer at Open Systems. “These two categories together define Managed SASE, and being recognized in both underscores the value we bring to enterprises seeking a trusted partner for secure, simplified connectivity. By combining co-management service layers and AI-enhanced operations with a continuously expanding portfolio, we help organizations reduce complexity, accelerate ROI, and adapt to evolving security and business needs.”
