AUSTIN, TX, November 10, 2025 — Evo Security, a leading identity and access management (IAM) company purpose-built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has included Evo Security on its 2025 Stellar Startups list in the Security category. This prestigious list highlights fast-rising technology vendors that are driving innovation and fostering growth in the IT channel with groundbreaking products.
Companies recognized as Stellar Startups must be six years old or younger, and they are selected across categories that include artificial intelligence, application development/DevOps, big data, business applications, cloud, data center, Internet of Things (IoT), networking/unified communications, security, and storage.
Evo Security was selected for its innovative approach to identity and privileged access management (IAM + PAM), purpose-built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Evo’s multi-tenant platform consolidates six essential security tools — MFA, SSO, Help Desk Verification, RADIUS, Technician Elevation, and End User Elevation — into one unified agent and dashboard. This design simplifies identity management for MSPs while strengthening customer protection and reducing operational overhead.
By prioritizing MSP workflows and scalability, Evo enables partners to standardize security across all clients, achieve compliance faster, and turn identity security into a profitable managed service. This MSP-first approach and rapid market adoption made Evo stand out as one of the most impactful emerging vendors in the channel security space.
Each technology vendor featured on the CRN 2025 Stellar Startups list is distinguished by its commitment to innovation and to delivering cutting-edge offerings that help solution providers stand out in today’s fast-changing IT landscape.
This annual list serves as an invaluable resource for solution providers making business-critical strategic decisions and exploring new technologies and services to add to their portfolios to give them a competitive advantage and drive success.
“We’re excited to recognize the forward-thinking companies featured on this year’s Stellar Startups list,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor at CRN, The Channel Company. “This honor highlights each organization’s commitment to tackling IT channel challenges, driving innovation through cutting-edge technologies, and empowering partner success. We can’t wait to see how they continue to shape the future of the industry.”
“Our inclusion on the CRN 2025 Stellar Startups list is a huge honor and a testament to the MSP community that’s been with us since day one,” said Michael Roth, CEO and Founder of Evo Security. “We built Evo because MSPs deserve identity and access management designed for them — not another point solution or retrofitted from enterprise tools. This recognition validates our mission to make identity and privileged access security simpler, smarter, and more profitable for MSPs everywhere.”
The CRN 2025 Stellar Startups list will be featured online at CRN.com/StellarStartups beginning Nov. 10, 2025.
