Award categoryCybersecurity Product / Service
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize security analytics products that find threats and patterns in security data. The category covers large-scale analytics, often over a data lake, that finds what rule-based tools miss.
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 Security Analytics category covers products that analyze large volumes of security data to find threats, risky trends and patterns. Typical entries run statistical models, machine learning and graph analysis across logs and telemetry, often stored in a security data lake, and let analysts ask questions across months of data. Some sit beside a SIEM; others replace parts of it.
Analytics that learn the normal behavior of users and devices fit User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), and platforms built around correlation rules and alerts fit Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Products that only move and shape data fit Security Data Pipeline Platform. A security analytics product can also enter Threat Detection and Response.
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.
