Award categoryCybersecurity Product / Service
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize vulnerability management products in which AI does much of the work. The category covers AI that finds, ranks or fixes vulnerabilities across systems and applications.
Nominations are open
Enter this category by November 5, 2026. Anyone can submit an entry: the company, the nominee, a colleague or an agency.
This category covers AI used for security in vulnerability programs. Typical entries use AI to decide which vulnerabilities matter in each environment, explain why, group findings into the fixes that close the most risk, and route work to the right owner. Some go further and write or apply fixes, such as patches, configuration changes or compensating controls, with approval from the team.
Vulnerability management where AI is not central fits Vulnerability Management, and ranking by real-world risk fits Risk-Based Vulnerability Management. AI that fixes flaws in source code fits AI Code Security and Remediation. Vendors can enter the same product in AI-Powered Security Solution too.
Each category is judged separately, so you can enter a product in every category that matches what it does, with a separate nomination for each. Tailor each nomination to that category's focus. Entering several related categories gives the product 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 vendor can enter its own product or service, and a PR agency can enter it on a client's behalf. The nomination form has a confidential field for detail that is shared with the judges and not published, such as customer names, deployment figures or roadmap. Deadlines, pricing and entry steps are on the How it Works page.
