CANTON, GA — A year on from its launch, Gallagher Security's OneLink has been recognized in the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards as winner of the Cloud Security category.
Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the awards recognize the world's leading companies and products that help mitigate risk and secure operational integrity across 27 categories and six countries.
OneLink solves a persistent challenge in physical security: how to protect distributed, often unmanned sites without the burden of traditional infrastructure. VPNs, on-site servers, and complex network configurations have long meant high costs, slow deployments, and reduced functionality at remote locations. OneLink changes that. By connecting Gallagher's Controller 7000 to Command Centre via the cloud, organizations can deploy, scale, and manage secure sites anywhere - simply, quickly, and without compromise.
“Receiving this award is a great acknowledgement of what the team has developed," says Josh Arnold, Chief Product Officer at Gallagher Security. “OneLink fundamentally changes what's possible. Every site in your physical footprint – no matter how remote – now gets the same enterprise-grade security, access control, and compliance as your headquarters. One platform, complete visibility, no compromises."
OneLink allows any site to become a fully integrated part of a centrally managed security ecosystem. Built on zero-trust principles, it ensures every connection is authenticated and encrypted, enabling organisations to scale securely. Since its May 2025 launch, OneLink has reduced deployment times by up to 75%, cut configuration costs by up to 97%, and lowered annual maintenance costs by up to 36%.
"Congratulations to Gallagher Security," said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group. "With OneLink, they stripped away infrastructure complexity while keeping full enterprise functionality, letting organizations deploy and manage secure sites anywhere with real confidence."
Winning the Cloud Security category is a proud milestone for the Gallagher team. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, Gallagher remains focused on building solutions that stay ahead of that curve: secure by design, simple to deploy, and built to scale with the organizations that rely on them.
