The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize password managers that store, generate and share passwords securely. The category covers products for businesses, teams and individuals.
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 Password Management category covers products that keep passwords and other sign-in secrets in an encrypted vault, generate strong unique passwords, fill them in, and share them safely between people. Typical entries serve businesses, with administrator controls, policies and reporting, as well as individuals and families, and many also store passkeys, notes and payment cards.
Secrets used by applications and pipelines fit Secret and Credential Management, and vaulting administrator credentials fits Privileged Access Management (PAM). Products that remove passwords altogether fit Passwordless Authentication. A password manager for individuals can also enter Consumer Cybersecurity.
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.
