Award categoryCybersecurity Product / Service
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize products that detect and counter disinformation aimed at an organization. The category covers products that track coordinated campaigns and fabricated statements that threaten its reputation.
Nominations are open
Enter this category by February 27, 2027. Anyone can submit an entry: the company, the nominee, a colleague or an agency.
The Disinformation Security category covers products that watch news, social media and messaging channels for false stories about an organization, such as fabricated statements from executives, fake product recalls or coordinated campaigns by networks of accounts. Typical entries detect these early, judge how fast they are spreading and who is behind them, and help communications and security teams respond and get content removed.
Impersonation of brands, domains and executives fits Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and deepfake audio and video used in fraud against staff fits Social Engineering and Deepfake Defense. Intelligence about the actors behind campaigns fits Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI).
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.
