Award categoryCybersecurity Company
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize companies whose main business is preventing fraud. The award covers companies of any size that stop payment and transaction fraud, account takeover, identity fraud or scams.
Nominations are open
Anyone can submit an entry: the company, the nominee, a colleague or an agency.
This award is for a company that specializes in stopping fraud before money or accounts are lost. That includes detecting fraudulent payments and transactions, blocking account takeover, stopping identity fraud by checking that people are who they say they are, and protecting consumers from scams and impersonation.
Describe the company, its customers and the fraud it prevents. A single product can also be entered in its own category, such as Fraud Prevention, Identity Verification (IDV) or Bot Management. A product built for banks or payment firms can also be entered in Financial Services or Digital Banking Security.
Each category is judged separately, so you can enter a company in every category that fits, with a separate nomination for each. Tailor each nomination to that category's focus. Entering several related categories gives the company more than one chance to be recognized.
An independent jury of security practitioners, analysts and CISOs scores each nomination on leadership, innovation and impact. Each nomination competes in its category against organizations of similar size and region, so a mid-sized firm is not ranked against a global enterprise. Your entry package, any sponsorship and public votes do not affect the jury's scores.
Strong entries in this category show:
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.
A company can nominate itself, or someone else can nominate it, for example a PR or marketing agency entering a client. The nomination form has a confidential field for detail that is shared with the judges and not published, such as revenue figures, customer names or funding terms. Deadlines, pricing and entry steps are on the How it Works page.
