The Security Industry Association has named rosa – (Restrata’s operational AI built into resilienceOS) – the winner of the Threat/Risk Management Software Applications category at the 2026 SIA New Products and Solutions Awards. Here is what the recognition means, and why it matters for enterprise security teams
Award: SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards 2026
Category: Threat/Risk Management Software Applications
Winner: Restrata – ROSA: resilienceOS’ AI Assistant for Operational Resilience
Event: ISC West 2026, Las Vegas
Awarded by: Security Industry Association (SIA)
We are proud to announce that rosa, Restrata’s operational AI assistant built into resilienceOS, has been named a winner of the 2026 SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards in the Threat/Risk Management Software Applications category.
The SIA NPS Awards, presented annually at ISC West and established in 1979, are among the most respected recognitions in the physical security industry. Entries are reviewed by more than 30 independent judges drawn from across the security sector, with winners representing genuine innovation in the protection of people, assets, and operations.
For Restrata, this recognition is meaningful – not because we needed external validation to believe in what we have built, but because the category in which rosa won speaks directly to what enterprise security teams are telling us they need most.
What the Award Recognises
The Threat/Risk Management Software Applications category covers solutions that help organisations identify, assess, and respond to threats in real time. It is a category that sits at the heart of what corporate security functions do every day – and one where the gap between what teams need and what the market has historically offered has been significant.
rosa was built specifically to close that gap. As the AI interpretation layer built natively into resilienceOS, rosa draws on an organisation’s own operational data – personnel locations, travel itineraries, asset records, incident history, and live threat intelligence – to help security teams move from event detection to coordinated response faster than was previously possible.
rosa doesn’t replace the security professional’s judgement. She gives them everything they need to exercise it faster, with more confidence, and with the full operational picture already assembled.
The three capabilities that define rosa’s operational value – Assist Anywhere, Respond in Context, and Automate with Intelligence – reflect the practical realities of how enterprise security teams work under pressure. She surfaces the questions operators haven’t had time to ask, drafts communications they would otherwise spend critical minutes writing, and synthesises situational briefings that would take analysts hours to assemble manually.
Why the SIA NPS Award Matters
The Security Industry Association has been the leading trade association for the physical security industry since 1969. Its New Products and Solutions Awards programme, now in its fifth decade, is judged entirely independently – products are evaluated by more than 30 industry professionals who assess each entry against a rigorous set of criteria for innovation, technical execution, and practical value to security operations.
Winning in a category as competitive as Threat/Risk Management Software Applications – against a field that reflects the full breadth of what the industry is currently building – is a meaningful signal. It confirms that the approach we have taken with rosa: building genuine operational AI on top of a unfied software foundation rather than layering AI features onto fragmented data, is the right one.

The Foundation Behind the Award
rosa does not exist in isolation. Her effectiveness as an operational AI is entirely dependent on the software foundation beneath her – resilienceOS, Restrata’s unified operational resilience platform.
resilienceOS consolidates an organisation’s people, assets, location data, and threat intelligence into a single source of truth. It handles the precision layer: exact geofencing calculations, communications routing, audit trails, and data harmonisation across connected sources. rosa sits on top of that foundation and handles interpretation: assessing context, drafting responses, flagging patterns, and synthesising the situational intelligence that security leaders need at the moment they need it.
Without the resilienceOS data foundation, rosa would be working with incomplete information – the same problem that has caused 42% of enterprise AI projects to fail. With it, she has access to the full operational picture of the organisation she is serving, which is what makes her genuinely useful in the field rather than impressive only in a demonstration.
The boring data layer – the software precision underneath the AI – is what makes the AI work. rosa is the proof of that principle in production.
What This Means for Enterprise Security Teams
For CSOs, heads of security, and operational resilience leaders at large organisations, the SIA NPS recognition is a useful signal when evaluating the market. It reflects independent industry judgement, not marketing positioning. And in a category – Threat/Risk Management Software Applications – where AI washing is rampant and genuine operational value is rare, that distinction matters.
rosa is available now as part of resilienceOS. If your organisation is managing security operations across a large, complex, or geographically distributed footprint – and you want to see what genuinely AI-enhanced security operations looks like in practice – we would welcome the conversation.
