The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards are trusted across the industry because they’re built on three pillars: credibility, community, and visibility.
Credibility:
Over the last 10 years, hundreds of leading cybersecurity companies—including leaders like Zscaler, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and many emerging innovators—as well as thousands of distinguished cybersecurity professionals have participated in our program. Judging combines expert panel review with peer recognition from our 600,000+ member Cybersecurity Insiders community, ensuring results reflect both the highest professional standards and real-world relevance.
Reach and Publicity:
Winners benefit from significant exposure across our award platform, newsletter, and social media channels. Many participants amplify the win through press releases, sales enablement, investor communications, and LinkedIn promotion—boosting brand trust and validation at critical moments.
Quality and Impact:
Our program is streamlined yet rigorous. Each nomination is reviewed for quality and relevance, and judges are highly experienced cybersecurity professionals. Finalists and winners stand out because the competition is strong—and the process is selective.
Award Value:
An award win helps validate your product, team, or leadership with trusted third-party recognition. It enhances credibility in sales conversations, builds trust with buyers, and gives marketing teams high-quality proof points to promote across campaigns, websites, and social channels.
