Why Participate?

A Celebration of Excellence

This isn’t just another awards program. It’s an opportunity for your company, products, teams, and professionals to be acknowledged for their excellence in cybersecurity.

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards are global to extend opportunity and reach to all who contribute to the cybersecurity space. To ensure a level playing field for all participants, all nominations are judged within their peer group defined by market segment, company size, and geography. Plus, our reasonable nomination fees make the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards one of the most accessible awards programs in the industry.

Benefits of Winning

Gain global, industry-wide acknowledgment and recognition for your achievements in cybersecurity. Showcase your success on the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards nomination page, through social media, featured news articles on the Cybersecurity Insiders news site, press releases, posts on our LinkedIn community of 500,000+ members, and with an award badge proudly displayed on your website or social profiles.

Who Can Enter?

Whether you’re a small startup or an established company, a cybersecurity professional or SOC team, these awards are for you. We offer categories tailored to your product, team, or organization, ensuring fair competition and recognition for all.

Voting Process

Winners and finalists are selected based on the strength of their nominations. Popular votes are used only as tie-breakers. Our unique approach considers market segment, company size and geography to ensuring a level playing field and avoids that established companies with a large following can gain a public vote advantage over early-stage companies just starting out, for example.
