Award categoryCybersecurity Product / Service
This Cybersecurity Excellence Awards category covers products that secure cloud infrastructure. New nominations in this area are entered in Cloud Security or Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP).
The Cloud Infrastructure Security category covers products that protect the accounts, networks, servers and storage organizations run in public and private clouds. It includes visibility into cloud assets and how they connect, finding risky settings, and detecting and responding to attacks in the cloud.
Past recipients are listed by year on the Winners page.
Cloud infrastructure security products are entered in Cloud Security, and platforms that combine several cloud protections can also enter Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). Detecting and responding to attacks in the cloud also fits Cloud Detection and Response (CDR).
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 organizations 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 Cloud Security or Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). 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.
