Award categoryCybersecurity Product / Service
This Cybersecurity Excellence Awards category covers products that detect phishing and help teams respond to it. New nominations in this area are entered in Anti-Phishing or Email Security.
The Phishing Detection and Response (PDR) category covers products that find phishing that reaches users, let staff report suspicious messages in one click, check reports automatically, and remove the same message from every mailbox.
Past recipients are listed by year on the Winners page.
Phishing detection and response products are entered in Anti-Phishing, and those focused on the inbox can also enter Email Security. Phishing simulations for staff fit Security Awareness Training, and removing fake sites that copy a brand fits Digital Risk Protection (DRP).
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 Anti-Phishing or Email Security. 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.
