BOSTON, November 20, 2025 – Orbia has been named a 2025 Info-Tech Innovator of the Year by Info-Tech Research Group, a global leader in IT research and advisory. The award was presented to Orbia for “Project Ajax,” an initiative to strengthen Orbia’s digital security. Through the initiative, the Orbia IT team transitioned over 15,000 Orbia users, 200+ global sites and multiple legacy systems to Netskope Private Access, a remote access solution that acts as an alternative to VPNs giving users secure, direct access only to the applications they need. This reduces the risks of traditional network access, ensuring modern, future-fit and secure IT solutions for the business.
The Info-Tech Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in IT, recognizing organizations that have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation and impact. The 2025 Info-Tech Innovator of the Year Award selected the top 18 companies out of hundreds of applications, evaluating groundbreaking IT initiatives that drove organization success, leveraged technology in innovative ways to solve challenges, enhanced efficiency and set new industry standards.
“Our transition to Netskope Private Access has enabled modern, zero-trust access controls, deeper security insights and fast access to resources – all with no disruption to business activities,” said Orbia Chief Information Security Officer Miranda Ritchie. “The recognition from Info-Tech Research Group is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our IT team in driving transformation and safeguarding Orbia’s digital future.”
The project created a standardized approach to security for Orbia’s five business groups and operations across the world. Netskope’s technology was integrated into Orbia’s existing software strategy, protecting users across any device and location, reducing risks and improving visibility and traffic routing across the environment.
