COLUMBUS, Ohio: #ConnectedDevices--Finite State, a leader in product security and software supply chain risk management, today announced it has been named a finalist in SiliconANGLE’s 2026 TechForward Awards in the Security category.

Finite State’s Product Security OS gives manufacturers an AI-native way to understand, prioritize, and reduce security risk across the connected products they bring to market. By analyzing firmware, identifying vulnerabilities and exposures, and connecting technical findings to the risks that matter most, the platform gives product security teams the evidence they need to make faster, more informed decisions throughout the product lifecycle.

"Product security is changing because manufacturers can no longer treat security as a point-in-time exercise, or reduce it to counting vulnerabilities," said Matt Wyckhouse, founder and CEO of Finite State. "Connected products are becoming more software-defined, more complex, and more exposed, while security teams are being asked to prove that the risks they identify are understood and addressed. Our Product Security OS brings the evidence, intelligence, and automation needed to move from finding issues to understanding what matters, taking action, and proving the results."

The TechForward Awards recognize the technologies and solutions driving business forward. As the trusted voice of enterprise and emerging tech, SiliconANGLE applies a rigorous editorial lens to highlight innovations reshaping how businesses operate in our rapidly changing landscape. This awards program honors both established enterprise solutions and breakthrough technologies defining the future of business, spanning AI innovation, security excellence, cloud transformation, data platform evolution and blockchain/crypto tech. Finite State was selected from a competitive field of nominees by a panel of industry experts and technology leaders.

“Congratulations to this year’s finalists,” said Dave Vellante, co-founder and co-CEO of SiliconANGLE Media. “Every company on this list earned its place through customer results including renewal rates, expansion revenue and direct feedback from the individuals using these products daily. Our judges evaluate that evidence when deciding who deserves this recognition.”

Finite State’s Product Security OS brings together firmware intelligence, vulnerability analysis, risk prioritization, threat modeling, verification, and governance in a unified platform. Its AI-native capabilities help security teams cut through the noise of findings generated across connected products, zero in on the exposures that pose the greatest risk, and build the evidence needed to drive remediation and security decisions.
