About this category: Best Cybersecurity Startup
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize young cybersecurity companies with early proof that their product or service works. There is no limit on age or funding: any company that considers itself a startup can enter.
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. Entry packages, sponsorship and public votes do not affect the jury's scores.
