The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards are trusted across the industry because they’re built on three pillars: credibility, community, and visibility.
Trusted by the Industry
Over the last 10 years, hundreds of leading cybersecurity companies—including Zscaler, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and emerging innovators—as well as thousands of distinguished professionals have participated in the program. Awards are judged by a panel of experienced cybersecurity leaders and supported by peer recognition from our 600,000+ member community.
Reach and Publicity
Winners benefit from significant exposure across our award platform, newsletter, and social media channels. Many amplify their recognition through press releases, investor communications, sales enablement, and LinkedIn promotion—boosting trust and credibility at pivotal stages of the buyer journey.
Whether you’re an individual contributor, a fast-growing startup, or an established enterprise, our flexible packages provide the right level of visibility, support, and promotional firepower to match your goals:
Every nomination includes a dedicated public award profile in our searchable directory—complete with logo, screenshots, team images, and website links to boost your SEO and visibility.
Social media promotion on LinkedIn, X, and Facebook amplifies your brand with a high-value audience. Each completed social share also counts as a vote for your nomination.
Use the official award badge in your marketing—forever—with a perpetual license included in every package.

Award Value
Award winners routinely leverage their recognition across press coverage, analyst briefings, investor decks, sales conversations, and social media—with measurable results. A win strengthens your market position, reinforces credibility, and fuels ongoing brand momentum.
Global Participation
The program is open to the entire cybersecurity ecosystem—vendors, teams, and practitioners alike—and welcomes entries from around the world. We judge entries within their peer group—by market segment, company size, and geography—to ensure a fair and meaningful comparison. Recognition is granted based on merit, not geography, ensuring visibility and impact wherever you’re based.
