ONE LAYER, INC.

OneLayer is a cybersecurity company that provides enterprise-grade security, asset management, and operational intelligence for private LTE/5G and private APN networks. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, its mission is to transform enterprise cellular environments from operational silos into integrated enterprise networks, embedding cybersecurity, observability, and operational orchestration into every private cellular network.

The company's flagship product, OneLayer Bridge™, offers complete visibility, Zero Trust segmentation, threat prevention, and asset management capabilities for IoT devices connected to private cellular networks. OneLayer's solutions enable organizations to manage and secure cellular-connected devices across both private and carrier environments, providing features like context-based segmentation, cellular anomalies detection and response, and zero-trust device connectivity. It serves various market segments, including utilities, manufacturing, airports/ports, healthcare, mining, and oil & gas.

Co-founded by Dave Mor (CEO) and Or Turgeman (COO), OneLayer secured $28 million in Series A funding in October 2025, bringing its total funding to over $43 million. The company recently launched its Sentry Partner Program in April 2026 and has expanded its leadership team with key appointments. OneLayer positions itself as a leader in private LTE/5G OT management and Zero Trust security, aiming to bridge the gap between telecom infrastructure and traditional IT management by allowing enterprises to manage private cellular networks using familiar IT tools.

OneLayer Formalizes Channel Strategy to Secure Private 5G Deployments

Event summary

  • OneLayer launched the 'Sentry' partner program on April 27, 2026, to expand its reach in the private LTE/5G security market.
  • The program certifies integrators (Burns & McDonnell, DFND Security, WWT, etc.) to deliver Zero Trust security, automated device onboarding, and managed services.
  • Founding partners will receive benefits including access to OneLayer Scout, market development funds, and sales/technical certifications.
  • OneLayer’s platform interoperates with a wide range of private cellular ecosystem vendors, including Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, and ServiceNow.

The big picture

The rise of private LTE and 5G networks across industries, particularly utilities and manufacturing, is creating a significant demand for specialized security solutions. OneLayer's Sentry program represents a strategic shift towards a partner-led model to address the complexity of securing these networks, acknowledging that direct sales alone cannot meet the growing market need. This move positions OneLayer to capitalize on the expanding private cellular market, which is expected to reach billions in annual spending by the late 2020s.

What we're watching

Partner Adoption
The success of the Sentry program hinges on rapid and effective partner onboarding and training; slow adoption could limit OneLayer’s ability to scale its security offerings.
Competitive Response
Given the increasing importance of security in private 5G deployments, competitors like Ericsson and Nokia will likely accelerate their own partner programs or acquisitions to counter OneLayer’s momentum.
Integration Complexity
The interoperability claims with a broad range of vendors will be tested as deployments increase in scale; integration challenges could create friction and slow adoption.

OneLayer Formalizes Channel Strategy Amid Private Cellular Security Surge

Event summary

  • OneLayer launched the Sentry Partner Program on April 23, 2026, to expand its reach in the private cellular security market.
  • The program certifies integrators (Burns & McDonnell, WWT, Logicalis, etc.) to deliver Zero Trust security, automated onboarding, and managed services.
  • Founding partners cite challenges in securing multi-carrier private APN environments and the need for a single management platform.
  • The program includes commercial incentives (Market Development Funds, SPIF) and certification for partners.

The big picture

The launch of the Sentry Partner Program underscores the rapidly expanding market for private cellular networks and the increasing need for robust security solutions. As enterprises deploy private LTE/5G for industrial automation, critical infrastructure, and other use cases, the complexity of managing and securing these networks is growing, creating a significant opportunity for specialized integrators and security providers like OneLayer. The program's focus on Zero Trust security reflects a broader industry shift towards a more proactive and granular approach to network security.

What we're watching

Partner Adoption
The speed at which Sentry partners integrate OneLayer’s solutions into their service offerings will determine the program’s overall success and impact on OneLayer’s revenue growth.
Competitive Response
Whether competitors like Ericsson, Nokia, and Cisco will develop similar partner programs or alternative solutions to address the growing demand for private cellular security remains to be seen.
Security Landscape
How evolving threat vectors and regulatory pressures will influence the demand for Zero Trust security in private cellular networks will shape OneLayer’s long-term strategic direction.
