FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
One year after being named a Challenger and Fast Mover, Greymatter.io is now recognized as a Leader and Outperformer, advancing toward the bullseye of GigaOm’s Radar for container networking and agentic Zero Trust Networking.
Arlington, VA – December 11, 2025 – Greymatter.io, a leader in agentic Zero Trust Networking, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar Report for Container Networking.
“In one year, we moved from Challenger and Fast Mover to Leader and Outperformer. That trajectory is the result of a simple conviction: the container network should be the most reliable place to enforce Zero Trust. We’ve extended our platform from L3 to L7, unified key connectivity components, and made Zero Trust Networking something you can actually automate, operate, and trust at scale.”

Greymatter.io’s Performance in the 2025 Radar
In the 2025 report, GigaOm highlights Greymatter.io for its:
- Leadership position and Outperformer designation in the Radar, reflecting strong technical capabilities and forward momentum.
- Coverage that spans service mesh, API gateway, ingress, and proxy models, rather than a single narrow deployment pattern.
- Fit across a broad set of buyers, including cloud-native enterprises, regulated industries, large enterprises, and telecom.
The report underscores Greymatter’s shift from an emerging “fast mover” to a platform that is ready for large-scale, mission-critical deployments.
Innovation, Strengths, and Solutions
GigaOm’s evaluation aligns with how Greymatter.io has evolved its Zero Trust Networking Platform over the last year:
- End-to-end L3–L7 connectivity
Greymatter.io provides a single fabric for CNI-level networking, service mesh, ingress, and API gateway, delivering identity-aware routing, encryption, and policy enforcement across containers, VMs, and hybrid/multicloud environments. - Zero Trust at the network layer
The platform focuses on workload and non-person entity identity, mutual TLS, and fine-grained segmentation, turning the container network itself into a Zero Trust control plane rather than relying solely on perimeter tools. - Operationally ready for modern teams
With an agentic orchestration layer, GitOps-native workflows, and rich observability, Greymatter.io is built for teams that need networking to be declarative, automated, and resilient, not manually scripted.
These capabilities are delivered through Greymatter.io’s layered architecture, which combines service connectivity, Zero Trust controls, analytics, orchestration, and enterprise integrations into a cohesive platform.
Industry Impact: Networking for Environments That Can’t Afford to Fail
Greymatter.io’s rise toward the Radar bullseye is driven by adoption in environments where uptime, security, and compliance are non-negotiable.
Customers use Greymatter.io to:
- Secure and connect Kubernetes clusters, containers, and legacy workloads across clouds and regions.
- Support mission-critical and regulated operations in government, defense, and telecom infrastructure.
- Reduce operational risk and complexity by consolidating multiple networking and security components into one Zero Trust Networking fabric.
For CISOs, CIOs, and platform leaders, Greymatter.io’s shift from Challenger and Fast Mover to Leader and Outperformer is a clear signal of both maturity and momentum in a market that sits at the core of Zero Trust and modern application delivery.
