Comcast Business Strengthens Enterprise Networking Leadership with Top Industry Rankings Across SD-WAN, SASE, and Managed Services

Comcast Business, one of the fastest growing and most-awarded enterprise providers, today announced a series of industry recognitions that reinforce its leadership in enterprise networking, including the #1 ranking in U.S. Carrier Managed SD-WAN Services for the second consecutive year, according to Vertical Systems Group, and earning leadership recognition across SD-WAN, SASE, and managed network services. The recognitions come as enterprises increasingly seek integrated networking, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled operations from a single strategic provider.

"The question enterprises are asking has changed. It's no longer 'who can connect my sites' - it's 'who can run an intelligent, secure network for me as AI transforms how we operate,'" said Bob Victor, Chief Product Officer, Comcast Business. "We built our platform to answer that question. These recognitions are a good sign our strategy is working, but the strongest validation comes from our customers. They are looking for a partner who will take accountability for bringing networking, security, and operational intelligence together in a way that makes their business simpler and more efficient."

As AI reshapes enterprise operations, organizations are rethinking how networks are designed, secured, and managed. Success increasingly depends on the ability to combine high-performance connectivity, integrated cybersecurity solutions, automation, and operational intelligence within a single platform. The breadth of recognition earned by Comcast Business across analyst evaluations, market-share rankings, and customer experience surveys reflects the company's continued progress toward that vision.
