SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nile, a pioneer and leader in Secure Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), today announced it has been named a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN for the second consecutive year.
Nile views its inclusion as a reflection of its growing market recognition as a fundamentally different approach to enterprise networking. Instead of requiring IT teams to plan, deploy, secure, and continuously manage their own infrastructure, Nile’s unified, Secure NaaS is delivered through a natively delivered, zero trust fabric with built-in autonomous operations, and the industry’s only financially-backed service guarantee.
"Too many IT teams are spending time managing infrastructure instead of focusing on the work that actually moves their business forward," said Pankaj Patel, CEO, Nile. "As midsize to large enterprises continue to be challenged by rising security threats, operational complexity, and pressure to reduce IT overhead, we’re seeing strong momentum as the industry moves toward the model Nile was designed to deliver from day one.”
Nile’s inclusion in this report adds to recognition from broader research from Gartner. Nile is also recognized in the Gartner Infrastructure Platform Consumption Services (IPCS) Magic Quadrant (2025), evaluated for its Autonomous Network Platform. Nile stands alone in having unified networking infrastructure, security, and lifecycle operations in a single AI-powered service, delivered as a subscription.
