Four steps to give your nomination the best chance:

1. Make the nomination compelling. Highlight specific achievements and impact in your category. If you’re nominating in a fastest-growing company category, provide growth data. If it’s a product category, emphasize measurable outcomes, deployment scale, and what differentiates your solution. Specificity wins over general claims. Use the confidential judges-only field to share supporting details you may not want published publicly.
2. Nominate in multiple categories. Product-specific and solution categories typically have fewer entries than broad categories like Best Company, which means less competition and higher odds of recognition. You can also propose new categories if existing ones aren’t a precise fit for your strengths.
3. Promote your nomination for Community Choice. Share your nomination page on LinkedIn, X, and Facebook — every share counts as a Community Choice vote. Post multiple times at different times of day to reach more of your audience. Rally colleagues, customers, and partners to share as well. Community Choice voting runs through early July 2026, so consistent promotion over time builds cumulative momentum.
4. Consider a visibility package. Higher-tier nomination packages include homepage features, social channel promotion, and newsletter placements that increase exposure for your nomination among cybersecurity audiences. See packages →
