Award categoryCybersecurity Industry Solution
This Cybersecurity Excellence Awards category covers security solutions built for the automotive sector. New nominations in this area are entered in Best Cybersecurity Industry Solution or Manufacturing.
The Automotive category covers security products and services built for carmakers and their suppliers: protection for connected vehicles and their software, vehicle networks and over-the-air updates, and the plants and supply chains that build vehicles.
Past recipients are listed by year on the Winners page.
Solutions for the automotive sector are entered in Best Cybersecurity Industry Solution, the open category for sectors without their own, and solutions for vehicle plants can also enter Manufacturing. Products that secure the software inside vehicles fit Embedded Security.
The categories below cover this area. Each is judged separately, so a nominee can enter every one that fits, with a separate nomination for each.
Nominations in the categories above are scored by an independent jury of security practitioners, analysts and CISOs on leadership, innovation and impact. Each competes against entries from vendors of similar size and region. Entry packages, sponsorship and public votes do not affect the jury's scores.
The jury awards Gold, Silver or Bronze, or a Finalist badge, and results are published on this site and announced to the 600,000+ member Cybersecurity Insiders community. Every approved nomination also enters the separate Community Choice award, decided by public votes.
New nominations in this area are entered in Best Cybersecurity Industry Solution or Manufacturing. Anyone can submit a nomination, including the nominee or an agency acting for a client, and the nomination form has a confidential field for detail that is shared with the judges and not published. Deadlines, pricing and entry steps are on the How it Works page.
