About this category: Chief Technology Officer of the Year (CTO)
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize chief technology officers whose technical leadership shaped a security product, platform or program. The award covers CTOs and equivalent top technology executives at security vendors and at companies whose core product is a security technology.
