The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize fraud prevention products. The category covers products that detect and stop fraud such as account takeover, payment fraud, fake accounts and scams.
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 Fraud Prevention category covers products that stop criminals from stealing money, goods or accounts from an organization and its customers. Typical entries score sign-ins, sign-ups and transactions using device, behavior and network signals. They detect account takeover, fake accounts, identities built from real and invented details (synthetic identities), promotion abuse, accounts used to move stolen money (money mules), and scams that trick customers into sending money, and help fraud teams investigate and recover losses.
Protecting card and payment data, such as tokenization and payment page protection, fits Payment Security. Verifying identity documents at onboarding fits Identity Verification (IDV). Products that stop bots trying stolen passwords at scale (credential stuffing) can also enter Bot Management. A company focused on fraud can also enter Best Fraud Protection Company.
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.
