The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards celebrate unique contributions and steadfast commitment to the core principles of excellence, innovation, and leadership within the cybersecurity industry.

Award recipients are selected based on two main criteria: (1) the strength of the nomination (demonstrated leadership, excellence and results in cybersecurity, depending on the specific category and the supporting information provided); and (2) the popular votes and comments received from the cybersecurity community. The popular vote will only be considered if two or more nomination are tied for an award (in other words, a weaker nomination with more votes will not outperform a stronger nomination with fewer votes).

Understanding Our Awards Structure

To ensure fairness and recognize diverse achievements, our awards are not exclusive to a single recipient within each category. Instead, we honor multiple recipients in each category, segmenting nominations by company size and regional tiers. This classification is highlighted in each award recipient’s nomination profile to ensure transparency.

This approach ensures a fair and level playing field, allowing us to acknowledge outstanding contributions from individuals and businesses of all sizes and from different geographical areas.

We hope this clarifies our awards criteria and emphasizes the inclusivity we strive to maintain, ensuring equity and a level playing field for all participants.

Join us in celebrating the broad spectrum of excellence that each award recipient brings to our industry!
