Award categoryCybersecurity Product / Service
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize secure workspace isolation products. The category covers products that keep sensitive work separate from the rest of a device, in hardware-separated or virtualized workspaces.
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 Secure Workspace Isolation category covers products that split a device into separate, protected spaces, so that a compromise on one side cannot reach the other. Typical entries use hardware separation or virtualization to run sensitive work, privileged administration or classified systems in an isolated workspace beside everyday use, and some give contractors or people on personal devices a secure workspace without managing the whole device.
Isolating only the web browser fits Browser Security. Managing whole devices fits Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), and endpoint protection fits Endpoint Security. Workspaces built for administrators can also enter Privileged Access Management (PAM).
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.
