Secaucus, October 13, 2026 //

Retarus, a leading provider of cloud-based messaging solutions for secure business communications, has been named the winner of the “Secure Communications Solution of the Year” award in the 10th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards Program. Retarus is being honored for its innovative approach to enterprise transactional email infrastructure.

Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry. The field for this year’s award was bigger than ever and highly competitive, having received thousands of nominations from around the world. This year’s winners represent the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

Enabling Superior Mission-Critical Communications

Retarus helps enterprises overcome the complexity of their email infrastructure by providing a centralized transactional email platform that brings control, visibility, and reliability to the entire enterprise email landscape. Organizations can streamline transactional email operations, achieve higher delivery rates, and strengthen the performance of their mission-critical communications.

“We developed our platform to address the glaring need for professional solutions that cleanly separate application and user communication. Beyond simplifying fragmented infrastructure, we deliver the performance and reliability required for high-volume, mission-critical communications, helping enterprises manage complex email infrastructures,” said Martin Hager, Founder and CEO of Retarus. “I’m thrilled to accept the CyberSecurity Breakthrough award for ‘Secure Communications Solution of the Year!’ As enterprise IT environments grow increasingly complex, we will continue to help organizations maintain dependable communication channels at scale.”

Retarus ensures essential, business-critical messages such as password resets, invoices, order confirmations, healthcare notifications, financial alerts, and other time- and content-sensitive updates, effectively reach recipients’ inboxes. SLA-backed guaranteeing message processing and delivery, Retarus manages email traffic through a dedicated service custom built for sustained high-volume throughput. Advanced reputation management capabilities, including CSA-certified infrastructure, dynamic IP routing, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and comprehensive bounce management, further protect sender reputation and reduce the risk of failed delivery. What’s more, specialized features and add-ons like message signing (digital signature that ensures confidentiality, authenticity, thus an additional layer of security), observability metrics (real-time email traffic monitoring and reporting directly ingestible by customer application and performance management tools), and Trace and Recover (quickly find and resend lost transactional emails without accessing the sending application for call center applications) gives customers a robust, complete email solution to meet even the most demanding requirements.

Enterprise Sovereignty and Seamless Integration

By operating its own redundant, autonomous, and globally distributed data centers independently of hyperscalers, Retarus enables organizations to maintain greater control over data sovereignty, regulatory requirements, and business continuity. This is especially important for organizations in regulated industries or with stringent compliance guidelines, such as finance, defence, and healthcare. With an enterprise-first approach to security, compliance, and integration, the platform seamlessly connects with existing SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft, and custom applications through REST APIs and SMTP, empowering already established workflows.

“Rather than treating transactional email as a simple delivery service, Retarus provides a secure and resilient foundation designed to support long-term enterprise operations. Large organizations rarely operate with a single email environment. They instead depend on a complex mix of cloud platforms, legacy systems, ERP and CRM applications, and globally distributed infrastructure,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “Retarus is shifting the role of transactional email within the modern enterprise into a strategic layer of secure digital infrastructure, enabling organizations to maintain confidence in their most critical communications while adapting to a complex and ever-changing threat landscape.”
