TORRANCE, Calif. – Jul. 20, 2026 - TRENDnet® (www.TRENDnet.com), a global leader and award-winning provider of reliable networking solutions for IT, surveillance, AV, transportation, and power distribution, announced today that Evan Davis, senior manager of solutions engineering, has been named a recipient of the 2026 Security Business Innovator Award, presented by Security Business magazine.

The annual award recognizes security professionals who are driving innovation in the industry through leadership, creative problem-solving, and a commitment to advancing solutions that help their customers succeed.

Innovation isn't just about finding the obvious answer for Davis; it's about finding the right one. Through his work with TRENDnet partners, he has earned a reputation for approaching challenges from a broader perspective. Rather than focusing on a single product, he evaluates the entire network to develop practical, tailored solutions that solve complex challenges, maximize technology investments, and create reliable, scalable networks built for the future.

"Evan consistently demonstrates the kind of innovative thinking that makes a lasting impact," said Sonny Su, VP of technology at TRENDnet. "He approaches every challenge with curiosity, creativity, and a genuine commitment to helping our partners succeed. This recognition reflects the expertise and dedication he brings to every project, and we're proud to see him honored by Security Business magazine."

The 2026 Security Business Innovator Awards acknowledge individuals whose ideas, leadership, and technical expertise are shaping the future of the security industry. Davis joins an accomplished group of leaders and professionals whose work is helping organizations solve increasingly complex security and networking challenges.

"The Security Innovator Awards recognize the people who are moving our industry forward through fresh thinking, creativity, and real-world leadership. We're proud to recognize TRENDnet, a company that has built its reputation on delivering innovative networking and surveillance solutions, and honor the individuals whose ideas and achievements are shaping the future of security, said Steve Lasky, editorial director at Security Business magazine. “What makes this program especially meaningful is that it's the security industry's only 100% peer-nominated awards initiative, giving professionals the opportunity to recognize colleagues and partners whose innovations are making a genuine impact. There is no greater compliment than being nominated by those who know your work best."

Davis joined the TRENDnet team in 2005, and is the current head of the Pre-Sales and Solutions Engineering department, where he established and launched a complimentary and extensive networking training program for TRENDnet partners at the end of last year. He previously held positions at a nationwide ISP and a high-end monitor manufacturer.

"I'm honored to receive this recognition from Security Business," said Davis. "The most rewarding part of my role is working alongside our partners to solve real-world challenges. Every project is different, and I'm grateful to be part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and finding solutions that truly make a difference."
